    Everyone believed Solène Crawford was just a quiet, virtuous wife the woman who stood behind her husband's success and asked for nothing in return. At a Thanksgiving dinner meant to celebrate family, Solène's marriage explodes when Lewis Crawford parades his pregnant mistress before relatives and friends who had feasted on her sacrifices for fifteen years. A medical report has already declared her infertile. Lewis demands she accept the child with "grace." She doesn't scream. She doesn't cry. She smiles because she has held his entire empire in the palm of her hand since the day she built it. What begins as a calculated dismantling of the man who discarded her spirals into deeper betrayals from the very people she once protected. Old allies turn, secrets surface, and an unexpected obstacle forces her to choose between total destruction and something far more dangerous: trust. In the wreckage, Solène discovers the woman she was always meant to be brilliant, unbreakable, and finally free. Some men are lifted up. Others are allowed to fall. Lewis Crawford is about to learn which one he was.

    A 72-year-old mad Soviet genius - illegitimate son of composer Dmitry Shostakovich, fugitive physicist, and connoisseur of blini - fled to the UK in the 1990s with miles of stolen superconducting wire. Now in 2025 he's dragging a baffled postmistress to Riga in a clunky Volga, dodging Interpol (or is it the Kazakh mafia?), while his motorbike-obsessed British sidekick tries to untangle why Igor's "harmless" string theory research might just be the universe's deadliest weapon. Chaos, curd-cheese pancakes, and cosmic chords ensue. Tone: Darkly comic, Big Lebowski meets Cold War spy farce. Comparisons: "If A Gentleman in Moscow crashed into The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window... with extra vodka."

    "Are you willing to take a leap and explore the world with me?" I'm a homebody. I love staying at the comforts of my own home, being clingy with my bed, having a date with my books while sipping my freshly brewed coffee poured in my favorite cup. I'm someone who loves routines. Everything should be properly organized and well-executed for me to consider my day a perfect one. I love being in control and planning ahead. My future has been properly laid out already-- even what happens when I die, where my assets will be given to, everything's just waiting for them to take place. I've got a plan for everything but if there's one thing that I wasn't able to anticipate, it's being a victim of the taunting quarter-life crisis. What happens if I suddenly experienced a need to have a change in environment? What happens when dissatisfaction and discontentment wash over my system? Will I be swimming along the current of the waves? Or will I drown in the vast waters of the ocean?

    Minion is a regular guy: he's got a wife, a kid, and an app ruined his career as a henchman. Being a villain's sidekick used to be a good job: risky, sure, but well-paying and with top-notch life insurance. But Henchr has brought the tech revolution to the supervillain business. Now it's uncertain schedules and no worker's comp. No villain is evil enough to have dreamt up the gig economy. After one too many jobs gone wrong, Minion decides to retire. This is fine. His self-worth isn't tied to his job. But it is a little humiliating when his wife starts talking about going back to work as the supervillain Dominatrix, a career she retired from a decade ago. And now their daughter is dating a girl that Minion suspects goes out at night in a mask - as a hero, no less. Only a supervillain can sort out Minion's problems, but he can't ask his wife when she's, well, part of the problem. There's only one thing to do: it's time for Minion to become Villain.
