When her search for answers collides with Zayn, the new boy whose secrets could expose everything, she's dragged into a world she never believed was real.

**The Ashe of Tomorrow** The year is 2100. The Earth is divided. The rich live in comfort and luxury while the poor are crammed into thirty percent of the world, buried under the garbage of those who have everything. It is an unfair world - and most people have learned to simply survive in it. But survival is about to mean something very different. When young Max, a clever and determined boy from the Poor Land, is captured by soldiers and dragged into a secret laboratory, he discovers the terrifying truth behind the disappearances. Dr. Light, the most dangerous scientist in the Rich Land, has been running experiments on poor people - using them as test subjects without mercy and without remorse. What Dr. Light never expected, however, was what the experiments would create. Instead of breaking the poor, the experiments awaken something inside them. One by one, the captured begin to develop extraordinary abilities - powers beyond anything the world has ever seen. Strength, speed, the ability to control elements, and gifts that no one can yet explain. Max and the others were taken as victims. But they will rise as something else entirely. Now, with powers they are only beginning to understand, Max and his fellow survivors must make a choice - hide and survive, or fight back and change the world forever. The ash of yesterday is the fire of tomorrow.

She arrives at the imperial palace gates as a diplomatic offering, a fifteen-year-old Black girl from the Western Borderlands gifted to Crown Prince Wei Zhenting in exchange for a trade agreement she will never benefit from. The palace catalogs her before it names her. It dresses her in silk, teaches her nothing, and waits to see whether she will survive. She survives. That is not the story. The story is what surviving costs her. In the treacherous golden corridors of the imperial court, where every smile conceals a calculation, and every friendship carries a price, Amani must learn to navigate a world designed to consume her. The Crown Prince is cold in ways she does not yet have language for. The Crown Princess is beautiful and dangerous, and watching everything. The women around her are all fighting versions of the same battle with the tools available to them, and the tools are sharper and more costly than anything Amani has held before. What grows between Amani and the prince who was never taught to feel is real. It is also complicated by everything it grows inside: the power between them, the world around them, and the moments both would rather not account for. This is not a love story where love fixes things. It is a love story where love endures things, imperfectly, at great cost, and refuses to be neat about it. By the time the Emperor dies and the Dragon Throne is reborn, Amani will not entirely recognize herself. She will hold two things at equal weight: everything she has gained and everything she has become to gain it. The palace did not break her. It changed her. The difference matters. Slow burn. Dark themes. Interracial romance. Palace intrigue. Centering a Black woman's story in a world that was never built for her.

​For eighteen-year-old Minji, waking up every morning feels like pushing a boulder uphill. Suffocating under the heavy, silent fog of depression and anxiety, she feels entirely invisible to the world-and she is running out of time to find an escape. ​With her life at a dead end, she holds two drastically different futures in her hands: a glossy recruitment brochure for the United States Marine Corps, promising the rigid structure and intense discipline to force her to be strong, and a crumpled printout for an open K-pop audition in Seoul, a final, desperate gamble on her lifelong passion for music. ​Driven by desperation, Minji boards a one-way flight to South Korea. But the cutthroat idol trainee system is brutal, and after a soul-crushing rejection, she finds herself breaking down in the pouring rain at Han River Park. Armed with nothing left to lose, she lets her pain bleed into a raw, heartbreaking melody. ​She thinks she's singing to the empty night. Instead, she is overheard by Bang Chan and Han of global superstars Stray Kids. ​Recognizing the cry of a kindred spirit who is drowning in the exact same waters they survived, the members of Stray Kids extend a lifeline. Pulling her into the sanctuary of their studio, they offer her something neither a military uniform nor a standard K-pop contract can provide: a safe place to heal, a brotherhood to carry the weight, and the tools to turn her deepest scars into an unyielding armor. ​"That wasn't K-pop. That was a war cry. You're talking about joining the military, but Minji, you're already fighting. You're just doing it internally."
