Issy, residing in the bustling city of Edinburgh, experiences a life-altering event when her family, engrossed in a heated argument about their religious beliefs, becomes involved in a car accident. After the chaotic incident, Issy awakens, initially believing she is in a hospital bed. However, to her surprise, she discovers herself in a peculiar community of women. This community, unbeknownst to Issy, is comprised of individuals who claim to have died but were granted a second chance at life. They have established a school, a café, and a church, where they devoutly worship God according to the Christian Bible. According to their shared belief, God has bestowed upon them this unique opportunity for a fresh start. As Issy acquaints herself with the community, she stumbles upon a disconcerting tradition: an annual ceremony known as "deletion," during which one woman is chosen to be removed from the community. This revelation leaves Issy perplexed and determined to unravel the truth behind this ominous practice.

Charlotte "Lottie" Vronsk has always lived quietly - not because her life is small, but because it is heavy. At twenty-two, she's raising her nine-year-old brother in London, studying politics at LSE, and carrying the invisible weight of being the one who never falls apart. Rain, books, and routine keep her steady... until a trip to Edinburgh pulls her into a world she was never meant to touch. A candlelit gallery. A forgotten war. A boy with a title he never wanted. When Lottie meets David Douglas-Fraser, a reclusive duke who hides behind journals and iced tea, she is drawn into a gothic world of castles, ancestral grief, and quiet power. Their connection is slow, dangerous, and achingly soft - the kind that grows in glances, midnight libraries, and storm-soaked streets. But Lottie already has a life. A future. A boy who loves her. And falling for a prince of history may cost her everything she's built. The Weight of Beautiful Things is a dark-academia romance about memory and longing, about loving someone who carries centuries on his shoulders, and about a girl who must decide whether she is brave enough to choose the life that feels like home - even if it breaks her heart.

Aku datang ke Edinburgh bukan untuk jatuh cinta, tapi untuk bertahan dan lulus. Menenggelamkan diri dalam skripsi, kerja paruh waktu, dan kopi panas yang menghangatkan dingin di luar dan dalam hatiku. Aku membawa mimpi, trauma, dan prinsip dalam koper yang jarang kubuka. Kupikir, selama sibuk, aku takkan punya waktu merasakan hal lain. Tapi hidup suka mengejutkan. Distraksi pertamaku di perpustakaan adalah Theo Elias Beckett, cowok santai dengan hoodie usang dan buku sketsa penuh coretan. Dia sering duduk terlalu dekat meski tahu aku tidak nyaman disentuh. Dia tak berusaha membuatku tertawa, tapi selalu berhasil, terutama saat aku ingin menangis. Kami berbeda: aku dengan iman dan luka, dia dengan kebebasan dan pertanyaan tentang Tuhan yang tak terucapkan. Kami sering bertengkar soal sentuhan, batasan, dan masa lalu. Tapi kami juga tumbuh bersama, diam-diam. Dari kafe tempat aku kerja, sampai debat tengah malam soal agama dan filosofi, sampai saat dia bilang dia jadi Muslim bukan karena aku, tapi karena dia menemukan arah hidupnya. Aku tak tahu harus berkata apa. Ini bukan kisah cinta sempurna. Ini cerita dua orang yang tersesat tapi bertemu di persimpangan yang sama; tentang keluarga rumit, perbedaan budaya, sahabat dramatis, dan seseorang yang hadir untuk duduk di sampingmu, bukan menyelamatkan. Tentang Edinburgh dan Jakarta, sambal terasi, dosen pembimbing menakutkan, video call sinyal buruk, hadiah ulang tahun yang gagal, dan boneka harimau yang selalu kugenggam. Tentang perasaan yang tumbuh perlahan, dengan jeda dan salah paham, tapi juga keberanian besar. Karena cinta kadang bukan jawaban, tapi pertanyaan: "Jika aku belajar berjalan ke arahmu... maukah kamu menunggu?" Aku Naia Renara. Ini perjalanan pulangku, bukan ke rumah, tapi ke hati sendiri, bersama seseorang yang memilih berjalan di sisiku karena akhirnya memilih Tuhan yang sama, dengan caranya sendiri, tanpa paksaan. Apakah ini kisah bahagia? Aku tak tahu. Tapi ini kisah yang jujur.

A world where it all begins.

It was almost two in the morning before they kissed goodnight and went into their rooms next to each other. They had big smiles on their faces. They couldn't tell why. They just had that meaningless grin whenever they spent time together. They had been very close friends for the past year. They had had very long conversations and laughed a lot. They understood each other very well. Sometimes they sat in silence, ultimate silence. Still, they knew what was passing through their minds or how they were feeling. Very well they could tell what they would do in this or that situation. There are some things that words are incompetent to tell. That was what they had in between. Literally. It was a midsummer's night in Edinburgh. Hot, yet rainy. They came back to the campus dorms after one of the great nights out they used to have whenever they had the chance. The menu was of wine and monkeynuts as the other nights out. Monkey nuts! The funniest and the best wine mate on earth she would say.

My first solo travel adventure was to Scotland. This is how the story unfolded.

A love story that reaches through time. The path to true love can be rough and the timing has to be right. Sometimes life gets in the way. Three lifetimes - one love.

A gothic-romance novella set in mist-shrouded Edinburgh. When a Princess of Darkness meets a Prince of Light, three endings-and the fate of the city-hang on a single black rose. Choose wisely.

Many Royals. Great Nobles. Young men. Ambitious Women. Three blood lines. Two families. One Throne. Everything will meet. Blood ties will become bad blood. Love will make way for lust. Families will be torn apart. Loyalites will be questioned. And honour will falter. But in all, the Prophesies of old will come true, new lives will be reborn and people will come to know the Crown for it will never come down. This is the game of Hearts, Thrones and Blood. This is where Fate, is Written In The Stars.

Everyone is born with a special mark (or marks) on their wrist and whoever has the same markings as you is your soulmate(s).

A girl goes back to the 1970's and has to become immune to the new time period. What will happen when she has the same soul marks as the three members of a certain Scottish band? Well, Read to find out! Pairings: Ian/Woody/Eric/Reader
