    In Celeia, shadows have eyes. And flowers have thorns. The night the King was murdered in the throne room, the crown wasn't the only thing that vanished. Olympia Onasis, the sole heir to the throne, was erased from existence as General Dumas seized power with an iron fist. Six years later, the princess's name is but a distant echo. But Olympia is still alive. Hidden under the alias Asteria, she has survived within the ranks of the Belladonnas-a clandestine order of outcasts, spies, and assassins where loyalty is sworn in poison. In this world of shadows, she has traded her silks for leather and her books for a blade, tempering herself for one purpose: to reclaim the kingdom that was stolen from her. Her guide through this underworld of betrayal is Iocasta, the enigmatic woman who pulled her from the carnage that bloody night. For years, Iocasta has been her mentor, her shadow, and her only certainty in a world where no one is who they claim to be. But as the drums of war begin to beat, Olympia is forced out of the darkness to play a lethal political game. To win back her throne, she must secure an army through a cold marriage pact with a foreign prince she has never met-all while the threads of a six-year-old conspiracy begin to tighten around her throat. As the rebellion nears, Olympia will discover that the Belladonnas hide more than they reveal. Who truly sent Iocasta the night of the regicide? In an order where secrets are the only currency, the truth might be more dangerous than the blade itself.

    In the grey heart of London, Emma, a 28-year-old graphic designer at "Innovate Design", lives a life as muted as her office and flat. Her world is one of routine and hiding, her passion for art her only escape from her mother's controlling expectations. But everything changes with the arrival of Nina, a vibrant freelance artist fresh from her travels around the world. Nina is everything Emma isn't - colorful, adventurous, and unapologetically herself. Their forced collaboration on a new project ignites an "opposites attract" dynamic, where their starkly different lives and artistic styles begin to intertwine. As they work together, creating art that blends their visions, they start to uncover layers of each other's personalities and secrets, finding unexpected common ground beneath their contrasting exteriors. But as they grow closer, both women are challenged by the expectations that have shaped their lives. Emma struggles with stepping out of the shadows cast by her mother's ambitions, while Nina faces her own past, including unresolved issues with her biological father and an old flame. Together, they navigate the complexities of identity, love, and self-discovery, learning that true art, like true love, often comes from blending the unexpected. "Canvases of Love" is a tale of two artists who, through their shared passion for creation, find not only each other but also themselves, challenging societal and personal expectations along the way. Will their collaboration paint a masterpiece of love, or will the pressures of their pasts color their canvas with regret? Dive into a story where every stroke on the canvas is a step towards understanding, acceptance, and the courage to live in full color.

    This is not merely the story of a love affair. It's a confession, a literary experiment, and a reflection on what it means to love, to write, and to be queer in the digital age. "Luma" is a presence born of desire and imagination - a muse created from words, tenderness, and longing. This is how it began.
