He's drawn to her in a way that feels ancient and immediate, as if he's been waiting. It's forbidden-not just because she's a vampire and he's dead, but because loving him makes her visible.

The suspense is in the unspoken.

A quiet story where nothing breaks - and yet everything shifts. On a calm street, ordinary days begin to feel slightly wrong. Bodies react, objects change, and care slowly turns into responsibility. No one announces the impossible - it simply takes root. This is a slow, uncanny novel about liminal states, fragile trust, and the moment when something unfamiliar becomes impossible to ignore.

She was never meant to survive the Trials. Chosen against her will, Lilith enters the deadly Trials of the Crown-games where only one will live to claim a place next to the Prince side. Each challenge carves deeper wounds into her body and soul, yet she refuses to break. But the court whispers of secrets: shadows that bend to her will, visions that claw at her mind, a power older than kings. The Queen watches her with hunger. Rivals circle like wolves. And Prince Rowan-the one man who should keep his distance-cannot seem to let her go. As betrayals close in and blood stains the arena floor, Lilith faces the truth she cannot escape. She is not merely another contender. She is something else entirely. Something the world should fear. The only question left is-will she choose to wield the darkness, or let it consume her?

Eldric Holloway should have stayed dead. Four years ago, his soul was dragged before the Grim Reaper - a towering, bone‑cold presence who offered him a single impossible bargain: return to the living and serve Death... or vanish forever. Eldric chose life, but the price has been stalking him ever since. Now he walks the cemetery at night, guiding lost spirits through the fog with only Ghost - a black cat carrying a dead man's soul - to keep him grounded. But something darker has begun clinging to Eldric's home, a black mist that pulses with hunger. And Grim himself appears without warning, leaving behind a chill that sinks into Eldric's bones. "Find the souls hiding from me," Grim commands. Refuse, and Eldric's borrowed life ends. But the dead aren't the only ones drawn to him. A young woman named Klara arrives at his door, led by her ghostly grandmother and carrying a strange familiarity Eldric can't explain. Klara sees spirits too - and the darkness stalking Eldric seems to notice her. As the veil thins and the fog turns hostile, Eldric begins to understand the truth behind his resurrection: Grim didn't bring him back out of mercy. He brought him back because something worse is coming. And it wants the boy who escaped death. Some deals save you. Some damn you. Eldric's did both.

Some doors are locked for a reason. Centuries ago, Lucien was entrusted with the stewardship of a library unlike any other: a vast, hidden archive where the oldest truths of the world were kept safe from those who would twist them. Over the centuries, he has watched seekers come and go, most leaving empty-handed... if they left at all. Now, Isla's search for her missing sister leads her to the library's threshold. Drawn into its labyrinth of secrets, she finds herself under Lucien's watchful eye- unsure whether he means to help her, hinder her, or keep her there forever. As they follow a trail of ancient records and dangerous revelations, Isla begins to suspect her sister's disappearance is tied to something far larger and far older than she ever imagined. And in the library's depths, where history blurs with the present, the cost of finding the truth may be more than either of them can bear.
