It started in their formative years their conflict. Being taught by what they resented, it started in their formative years. Toja, hated pineapples because they looked sharp to touch. That and he didn't discover how to pick them up until he turned twelve. Walking in a yellow grocery shop, with a phone in the back of his jean short pockets. Silent and still. So still it was almost as though it didn't exist, like it was gone before it vanished. Searching for it frantically, it dawned on him later that day that being one dimensional was choosing not to exist at all. Because normal people wouldn't desire one dimensional pineapples. And since needs have to be desirable to be needed in the first place, being undesirable meant being discarded. In the search for his phone, he discovered many things. One being that lessons taught by resentment were more likely to be internalized than lessons taught by love. As love was more likely to be taken for granted and the nature of man was to turn a blind eye on their present blessings. And wish for something greater. Something unattainable. As nothing is greater than love and it's all encompassing and holistic glory. Chantelle hated pineapples for the same reason. That and the fact that they took eons to grow. They rotted in bitterness as well. Like the hearts of their feuding families. 🦋🦋🦋 Set in Turkey, Istanbul a city notorious for being immortal. This story depicts the life of 27-year-old Simon.

Five weeks. That was all İstanbul planned to spend in Assos before returning to her carefully organised life in the city. Five weeks of sea salt, warm nights, and temporary freedom. But then, she meets Aktan. Owner of one of Assos' most popular summer clubs, Aktan is confident, magnetic, and dangerously easy to want. From the moment İstanbul walks into his club for the first time, something between them sparks - something neither of them can explain and both of them try very hard to ignore. But denial becomes impossible when every glance feels too long, every conversation too intimate, and every touch impossible to forget.

The problem? Summer always ends. And when İstanbul's five weeks in Assos begin running out, both of them are forced to ask themselves one terrifying question: Was this only a vacation romance... or the beginning of something real? "Vacation with Benefits" is a short, passionate summer romance filled with tension, emotional intimacy, sensual nights, and the kind of love that refuses to stay temporary.

Now, she finds herself trapped in a web of manipulation of his own making, because for Serkan Bolat, everything in life is a game of chess.

At the edge of the world, near Schässburg, a boy is born with no right to choose. In a family of executioners, death is not an exception, but a trade passed from father to son. This is his story, told late, when the sword has fallen silent and the memories can no longer be buried. From the graves dug with bare hands to the shadows of princely courts-from Wallachia to the gates of Istanbul-his life becomes a relentless flight between guilt, survival, and power. In an era where faith and cruelty walk hand in hand, he becomes history's intimate witness and its most unsettling tool. He encounters the greats of the age without ever truly being one of them. Memories of an Executioner is not a novel about heroes, but about the price paid by those who live off the deaths of others. It is a dark, poetic, and brutally human confession about guilt, silence, and the fragile hope of redemption.
