Meli is a beggar in 19th century London. Not just a beggar- a pickpocket. A thief. And a good one. ************* I didn't ask to be a beggar. It was just what becomes of orphans. I suppose I could have gone to work at a factory- but I was sure it wouldn't have paid as well as the pocketwatches and coins that the uppercrusts of England supplied me with. Besides, I had never been caught before. I didn't even worry myself over the possibility. Even if the theft had been noticed- as if!- I was the only girl among the group of young thieves. The last to be suspected. Me being caught was an impossibility! Until I made a mistake. Until my hand was seized as I reached into the pocket of a nobleman. I expected to be sent off to a prison or a workhouse. Perhaps to be whipped, or even hanged. Not to be sent to a reformatory school. Not for that same nobleman that I had stolen from to adopt me from that reformatory school. Not a life sentence to the strictness and rigidity and discipline of nobility. Not a governess who tells me when to sleep, eat, bathe, study, and speak. This was not the life of poverty and thievery that I had planned out for myself. And I didn't like it one bit. *Warning: Will contain outdated aspects of 19th-century life and childrearing. This includes but is not limited to corporal punishment, old-fashioned medical treatments, and strong references to social class and the struggles of the working class.*

In the gilded and volatile world of nineteenth century Tuscany, where noble titles carry more weight than conscience and desire moves beneath the surface of every formal gathering like current beneath still water, Corinna arrives at the Laurent Estate with dark eyes, a past carved by grief, and a beauty so complete it rearranges every room she enters. She is a Black woman who has traveled far from the shores that raised her, drawn to Tuscany following her grandmother's death and the need to begin somewhere that does not already know her name. The Laurent Estate is one of Italy's most storied noble houses, its ancient stone soaked in wine and older scandal, presided over by Count Alexandre Laurent, a man of devastating composure and barely contained feeling who is formally betrothed to the cool and calculating Sophie Beaumont. What builds between Corinna and Alexandre across harvest seasons, candlelit cellars, masked balls, and crackling family ruin is a slow and punishing accumulation of desire that neither can outrun. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R.

Kumari Kandam - The lost continent But what if it's history wasn't lost? What if there was a book explaining it's history, but was banned from viewer discretion by the government? What if one interview could bring all back to life? What if the known would narrate? . "Your book, 'Kumari Kangam: The Final Hour', is among many works that have faced governmental bans for so-called 'controversial content.' Why do you think the government engages in what many perceive as unnecessary censorship?" "Fear," she says simply, letting the word hang in the air like smoke. "Governments, like any institution built on fragile hierarchies, fear stories that unsettle their carefully constructed narratives. Books like mine and others mentioned are dangerous because they make people think. They remind us of the power we've always had but are told to forget." . ~ "You seem to like the view," I mused, my voice cutting through the quiet. His lips pressed together in a barely-there smirk. "It would be a lie if I denied it," he admitted, his voice steady. ~ . ~ "Beneath whispering waves, a still silence gathers-waiting. When blossoms rot before they bloom, and silver shadows smile too wide, one who walks among kin shall loosen the roots. Not all floods come with rain. When the eastern wind carries salt to sleeping hills, know-what was trusted will unmake what was built." ~ . "Do you believe this book was reality?" "I know it was. It just needs proof." . [Need reviews? No problem Statements said by people who know the whole plot. "You're cruel, you know that?" "Romance is romancing in the best way possible" "You can't be serious, right? RIGHT? That's not the ending I expected" "I will kill you. Surely I will." (After hearing the ending, hehe) "Oh, to be a character in your book!"] Note to reader : - This book is a slow burn - Vote, comment, and support my book if you plan to proceed, please ❤ ~ Maya 🌷
