"Never touch the glass with your bare skin." When Elara Vance is hired to catalog the ancient Aether Library at Blackwood Manor, she expects dusty books and a paycheck. She doesn't expect Julian Blackwood-the manor's reclusive, sharp-tongued heir who treats the house like a cage and the shadows like friends. But the windows at Blackwood are different. They don't reflect the present; they show a past filled with beautiful masquerades and a future stained in blood. As Elara is drawn into the humming, silver-bound secrets of the Chronos Shard, she realizes she isn't just an employee. She's the girl Julian has seen dying in the glass a thousand times. Now, they must break the cycle before the Aether claims her soul-and his heart.

Every moment of life is sometimes depressive, leaving you with no choice and occupied by negative thoughts, but don't let them wrap around you. I hope your wounded heart and soul will somehow heal with the heart and soul of my crafted words.

SPRING FRICTION Through Every Season, Book One By Aurelia Reads In the ruthless halls of Xandos Academy, your rank isn't just a number on a board-it's your entire worth, your family's legacy, and the only thing standing between you and failure. Aurelia Del Valle was born to be Rank 1. Grandfather: Rank 1. Mother: Rank 3. She has the color-coded planner, the 5:20 a.m. wake-up calls, the flawless notes, and the iron will to match. Distractions are for people who can afford to fall. Aurelia cannot. Until Reid Lozano enters. He's the boy who leans against pillars like he owns the air around him, the one who makes the whole school lean in just to hear him laugh. When he starts dating her new best friend Vina, Aurelia tells herself he's irrelevant. A variable. Noise. She's wrong. Because one day the Rank Board drops, hearts shatter, and Reid looks Aurelia dead in the eyes in the middle of a crowded corridor and says the words that change everything: "I broke up with her because I have feelings for you." What follows isn't a love story. It's a collision. A friendship that fractures under the weight of truth. A perfect girl who suddenly doesn't know who she is without her perfect grades. And a boy who proves that some distractions don't just ruin your rank-they ruin the version of yourself you spent years building. In a world where numbers decide your future, how much are you willing to lose for the one person who makes you feel something real? Spring Friction - where ambition meets attraction, perfection meets chaos, and one wrong glance can topple an entire legacy. For the girls who were always two rows ahead... and for the ones who finally looked back. Ready to feel the friction? Start reading. The Rank Board is waiting.

"Say that again." "There is no divorce happening, darling." he said, eyes raging. "You think you get to decide this alone?" He seethed.

Lillian Lilith Baxter wants to be a vampire, but not for the reason you might think. She doesn't care for the romance, the bloodlust, or the unending drama and darkness that comes with the territory. Lillian loves books. Books are her entire world. Books are the only thing she cares about, and in her opinion, the greatest tragedy of life is that it is far too short to have the ability to read every book she has ever wanted to. So, her goal? Immortality. So that she may read for as long as she pleases, without age taking her sight, or a disease stealing her mind as she withers into her latter years. So why a Vampire? She's seen the reports, people being attacked at night, necks bitten, almost entirely drained of blood, and she wasn't born yesterday, she knows it's not an 'animal'. That's when she meets Marcel Dulaney, in a library of all places, and he piques her interest. He meets all the criteria of a vampire. Pale, only comes out at night, never eats or drinks human food, and there's an air about him she can't explain, but she's drawn to him. She knows the signs, she's done her research, but how are you supposed to ask a stranger if they're a creature of the night, without perhaps causing offence if they aren't, or landing herself dead if they are? Or, the story about a little bookworm who just wants to live forever reading her fantastical books, and a tormented immortal who hates himself and only really starts appreciating the world a little more because of this strange girl who loves reading.

Apokalipsa kojarzona jest dziś z zombie, wybuchem jądrowym i doskonałymi powieściami post-apokaliptycznymi. Przede wszystkim jednak, gdzieś w samym środku naszej świadomości kojarzy się z Biblijnym dziełem św.Jana które traktuje o zagładzie tego co doczesne na skalę globalną w przestrzeni materialnej, wielkiej bitwie dobra ze złem i sądzie ostatecznym. Występuje w niej czterech jeźdźców Apokalipsy, którzy przynoszą ludzkości zgubę. Czy Apokalipsa, ten przerażający obraz końca świata, nie dzieje się w nas samych? Czy nie każdy z nas kroczy swą ścieżką aż po dzień sądu? Niektórzy wierzą że tak, inni że nie... Kim są czterej jeźdźcy? Kim są ci nieznajomi towarzysze podróży?

This collection of poems explores the search for stillness and quiet within both natural and urban landscapes. The poems often contrast a world of noise and motion-from the "muted roar" of a sleeping city to the "hurried river" of people-with moments of solitary peace. They find a silent wisdom in old books, a steady hope in a lonely lighthouse, and a "quiet hush" in the falling rain.
