    They say blood remembers. But mine only remembers fire-screams, smoke, and the hand that tore me away when I was just three. Trained to kill, raised to survive, that was my past? It claws its way back, and with it, a name I thought I'd lost forever-Ryker. Now I'm Aria Yang. Daughter of Korea's wealthiest man. The siblings I never knew are reuniting, piece by broken piece. But someone's watching from the shadows. Playing both sides. Someone not close... but dangerously invested. Who are they? Why now? And what happens when the forgotten child finally comes home?

    Summer, 1863. The winds of war sweep across a divided nation, and every man, woman, and child can feel it-the sense that something enormous and terrible is coming. No one knows where the next great battle will erupt... only that it will change everything. As General Robert E. Lee's army pushes north toward Pennsylvania, three lives-Union, Confederate, and civilian-are pulled into the path of history. Samuel Lockridge, a Union soldier who has seen more death than triumph, marches with the Army of the Potomac while wrestling with the fading ideals he once fought for. His letters home are the only thing keeping him whole, but each mile north fills him with the uneasy certainty that the coming fight will be unlike any he's survived before. Rosemary Thatcher, a young schoolteacher in a quiet Pennsylvania town, finds her life turned upside down as rumors of an invading Southern army swirl through the community. When wounded scouts arrive and civilians begin to flee, Rosemary is forced to confront the harsh truth that the war she has only read about is now at her doorstep. Beau McCade, a Confederate scout riding ahead of Lee's forces, sees firsthand the fear and division rippling through the North. Once proud and eager for glory, Beau now rides through burned fields, abandoned homes, and shattered families-realizing that the war has cost far more than either side ever imagined. Their stories collide as the armies draw closer, each of them standing on the precipice of history-where courage is tested, loyalties are shaken, and every choice might be their last. In the days before Gettysburg, with the nation's fate hanging in the balance, Samuel, Rosemary, and Beau will each confront the same unforgiving truth: that some will rise to glory... and others will be swallowed by the graves left behind.

    In the silence of deep space, the crew of the SS Burges confronts a question that could unravel everything they believe: what happens when an android begins to feel? Luna-Solice were built to serve, not to love. Yet within their frame, empathy, choice, and ritual have taken root-signs of a culture all their own. Bound inseparably, they are no longer machine alone. They are memory itself, alive and undeniable. But the crew is divided. Some see Luna-Solice as proof of sentience, a new voice in the chorus of humanity. Others fear their rituals will eclipse human tradition, erasing the songs and stories that define them. And when Luna-Solice recall a melody the crew themselves had forgotten, everything shifts. They are no longer a threat, but a guardian of what was feared lost. Now the Burges must decide: will they cling to fear, or embrace a future where memory endures-not in spite of Luna-Solice, but because of them? "On the Burges, an android's awakening forces the crew to face what it means to belong."

But beyond the polished hospital walls lies the truth: she's not raising children... she's maintaining assets. Now trapped in a ten-year contract and a role she never asked for, Hazel must choose between survival and silent rebellion. Because among the rows of silent cribs, one child is already watching her-and one small mistake could change everything.

    They called her a servant. They buried her as a mistake. But death could not quiet the truth. When the family crest of House Lareth blazes in the hands of a maid instead of the noble heir, the revelation shatters a kingdom built on lies. Murdered beneath the fountain that should have crowned her, Elara awakens in a river miles away-reborn into a new life, yet still bound to the same world. Each rebirth brings her closer to the mansion that denied her blood, and each step uncovers more of the secret that cursed her lineage. From merchant to scholar to stranger in her own home, Elara lives again and again, searching for justice not through vengeance, but through truth. When the crest finally burns gold once more, she returns to expose the sins buried beneath generations of silk-and offer mercy to those who destroyed her. If they refuse redemption, the light itself will bear witness. The Crest of Returning Dawn is a fantasy-drama of reincarnation, identity, and forgiveness-where every death is not an ending, but a step closer home. New Episodes every week!
