With trust tested, hearts on the line, and the past refusing to stay buried, they'll have to decide what they're willing to fight for-and who they're willing to lose.

    "He's teaching her how to hack his empire. She's collecting the evidence to burn it down." I was paid to translate. Not to interpret. Not to judge. Kira Khine arrives in Portugal with a passport missing an entry stamp, a revoked university admission, and €23,000 she refuses to touch. She didn't come for romance. She came to survive. But survival gets complicated when her landlord turns out to be Rodrigo Costa-a tech billionaire, single father, and the quietest, most unreadable face in northern Portugal. He offers her a deal: translate contracts in Burmese. In exchange, he'll teach her to hack. She takes it. Then she translates Clause 12.4. IMEI numbers. Geolocation data. Unrestricted real-time access-disguised as "urban planning." The kind of data you use to hunt people. The kind of people who disappear in Myanmar every day. Now, Kira has a choice: look away and cash the cheque. Or learn everything Rodrigo can teach her, and use it to destroy him. An impossible attraction. A dangerous game of secrets. He's letting his guard down around her-and she's collecting the evidence to burn his empire to the ground. Somewhere in the vineyard, a seven-year-old girl named Sofia is waiting for her friend Kiki to come to her birthday party. I trust me.She did. She does. A slow-burn geopolitical thriller about translation, cyber warfare, and ultimate betrayal. ⭐ Rank #1 in dark academia - 11/8/2026⭐

    When Caroline "Caro" Waverly arrives at the mysterious Ravensmere Academy, she has no idea that behind the ancient walls of the secluded boarding school lies a world that was never meant to be discovered by humans. Together with River Evermore, the rebellious Corvin Montague, the inventive Arthur Brooks, and the enigmatic Micah Holloway, Caro is drawn deeper and deeper into a web of magic, forgotten secrets, vampires, and dark forces that have remained hidden for centuries. But the closer the five come to the truth, the more they begin to realize that Ravensmere is far more than a place of learning. It is the beginning of something that will change their lives forever. And some secrets were meant to remain buried in the mist. (I'm 14 and I'm trying my best to write in English. Sorry in advance😅)

He should hate everything Valentina represents. She should stay as far away from him as possible. Instead, fate keeps throwing them together. With every stolen glance, every heated argument, and every moment they're forced to stand side by side, the line between hatred and something far more dangerous begins to blur. But as ancient secrets awaken and a forgotten darkness threatens the academy, Valentina realizes she's at the center of a mystery that could change everything. Some destinies are written in magic. Others are written in fire.

    "Do you ever stop running?" he muttered, his gaze burning into mine. "What are you doing?" I whispered, my voice trembling. But anger surged through me, cutting through the daze. "You can't just-just act like this! One second you're cold, the next you're almost kind, then you let people kiss you, and now-" My throat wobbled "Now this? I can't keep up. I can't" His expression cracked and his eyes darkened, not with anger, but with something raw that felt dangerously close to breaking me in half. "You want to know how I feel about you?" His voice was low and rough. Before I could answer, he tilted my chin up again, his thumb brushing the corner of my mouth like he was staking a claim. And then he kissed me. Not the furious, messy clash of before. This one was slower and deeper, but it shattered me even more. His lips were unrelenting, pressing against mine like he'd been holding himself back for far too long. My mind went blank, every thought scattering like ashes in the wind. My fingers swayed helplessly at my sides then curled into his shirt again, because I didn't know where to put them. When he finally pulled back, his eyes searched mine like he was daring me to deny what just happened. "Does that answer your question?" he murmured. - Adriana plays the part of the perfect, wealthy heiress, but she's drowning under her mother's Ivy League expectations and a family scandal that could ruin her. She plans to stay invisible at Arcadia High until she crosses paths with Elliot Thornevale. Cold and arrogant.

One watches her with a dangerous tension, another grows far too gentle around her and someone from her past suddenly wants back into her life.

    SHATTERED ECHOES Sienna Rivers has spent her whole life being the quiet one - the good daughter, the careful smile, the girl who never raises her voice. The only place she's ever truly honest is a worn notebook full of lyrics no one is supposed to read. Then she transfers to Crestview Academy and walks straight into Julian Vance: a moody, brilliant music producer who works in the shadows of the school's elite Sound Collective and guards a past dangerous enough to keep everyone at arm's length - everyone except her. Drawn together by an undeniable spark neither of them wants, Sienna and Julian agree to collaborate in secret on an album. But the closer their late-night studio sessions bring them, the more Sienna starts to unravel a truth she never saw coming: Julian's past isn't just tangled up with tragedy. It's tangled up with her own family - with the sister she lost three years ago, and the questions no one in her house has ever been allowed to ask out loud. Between anonymous threats, a toxic school rivalry closing in, and melodies neither of them can erase, Sienna has to decide how far she's willing to go for the truth behind the echoes - even if it means losing the one person who finally makes her feel heard.

    Fifteen years ago, a girl disappeared from Ravenhall Academy. No one remembers her name. No body was ever found. No one was arrested. Eventually, the world moved on. But Medina Alaric never forgot her. At least, that's what she tells herself. When Medina returns to Ravenhall Academy, she begins finding pieces of the forgotten girl everywhere-a photograph tucked inside an old book, a diary hidden beneath the floorboards, a name carved into a desk, and a series of messages that seem to have been written specifically for her. Then she finds the photograph. The girl is standing in the middle. And beside her is Medina. A girl who supposedly wasn't there fifteen years ago. As Medina searches for answers, the past begins bleeding into the present. People remember things differently. Kael Wynter knows things he shouldn't know. And someone keeps warning Medina to stop looking. But Medina can't stop. Because the more she remembers, the more she realizes that the story she's been told about the girl's disappearance isn't the truth. Neither is the story she's been telling herself. Everyone remembers the girl who disappeared. But memories can lie. And sometimes the person you spend your whole life trying to remember... is yourself.

    Świat magii nie przypomina bajki. Zamiast potężnych pojedynków na różdżki rządzą nim rygorystyczne akademie, wiekowe rody oraz sekrety, o których wszyscy wolą milczeć. W tym miejscu magia splata się z nauką, historią i surową rzeczywistością, a dawne tradycje z Europy zderzają się ze współczesną Ameryką. Ukryta wśród lasów stanu Nowy Jork Akademia Nevermore dla większości stanowi bezpieczną przystań, jednak w jej wiktoriańskich murach wciąż pobrzmiewają cienie dawnych wydarzeń. Dylan jest z pozoru szarym, wycofanym uczniem, który robi wszystko, by pozostać w cieniu swoich utalentowanych magicznie przyjaciół. Pod maską ignoranta i podwójną tożsamością ukrywa jednak niebezpieczny potencjał, ponurą przepowiednię oraz sekrety, dla których wymyka się nocą na zlodowaciałe jezioro. Dźwiga ciężar widma czasu, które nieubłaganie ucieka. April to nowo przybyła ze Szkocji czarodziejka o cichej, lecz niezłomnej naturze. Bystra, nieufna i spragniona spokoju, szuka w Nevermore czystej karty i ucieczki przed trudną przeszłością w świecie, który dotąd niespecjalnie łaskawie ją traktował. Zamyka się w świecie klasycznej literatury i jazdy konnej, przekonana, że nikt nie szuka jej towarzystwa bezinteresownie. Kiedy April trafia na Dylana, od razu dostrzega w nim kogoś niepokojąco znajomego - przyjaciela z dzieciństwa, z którym rozdzielił ją los. Chłopak twierdzi jednak, że zupełnie jej nie pamięta. Gdy dawne więzi zaczynają odżywać na nowo, bohaterowie muszą zmierzyć się z pytaniami o tajemniczą Mapę Gwiazd, postać tajemniczego Vanitasa i skrywane od pokoleń rodzinne tajemnice. To opowieść o poszukiwaniu własnej drogi, potędze ukrytego talentu, skomplikowanych relacjach i przeszłości, od której nie da się uciec. Powyższa powieść była przeze mnie pisana w trakcie liceum. Początkowo pisałam ją do tzw. szuflady. Dwa lata po jej zakończeniu zapragnęłam się nią podzielić

    Montrose Institute doesn't accept applications. It finds you. Hera just wanted wifi and a nap. Miles just wanted 200 followers. Valkyrie just wanted her card to go through. Julian just wanted his socks to match, for once. Sylvie just wanted to bake in peace. Instead, they got one exploded baking exhibition, a 100+ year old cereal box with an attitude problem (his name is Jake, he's rude, don't ask), and five brand new suspects in a police interrogation before any of them even started high school. Magic is real. Nobody consented to this. And the cereal box is judging you specifically. Montrose was never really a school. It's a countdown - and it's been ticking since long before they walked in.
