She was sold as a servant. He was never meant to notice her. But the moment her blood touched him— He could no longer let her go. Lyra Valen was born from a sin she never chose. As a half-blood witch, the illegitimate daughter of a servant and a powerful noble, she grows up in poverty, burdened by debt and hatred. After her mother’s death, Lyra is sold to a royal magic academy in Scotland—not as a student, but as a servant. Invisible. Disposable. Worthless. Until the day everything changes. When Lyra is injured, her blood accidentally heals someone—and exposes a secret that should have stayed buried. Her blood can save lives, but every use leaves her weaker, closer to collapse. Worse, her touch reveals fragments of people’s pasts, uncovering truths no one wants known. In a world built on lies, Lyra becomes a walking threat. Kael Draven, the kingdom’s most feared young knight, never cared about someone like her—until her blood saves him. From that moment, something shifts. Not just in his mind… but in his body. He can feel her. And he cannot let her go. As Lyra is dragged into academy politics, dangerous experiments, and the attention of powerful families—including the one that abandoned her—her existence becomes a prize worth fighting for. But the more she uncovers, the clearer the truth becomes: Her blood doesn’t just heal. It binds. And in a world where power decides everything… Lyra may be the most dangerous existence of all.

On the planet Nevera, power does not belong to governments. It belongs to one family. The Piao family has shaped the world for generations, guarding the World Tree, a living archive of knowledge so vast it has guided the rise of modern civilization itself. But control comes at a cost. As global pressure mounts to access the Tree, old alliances fracture, hidden agendas surface, and a carefully maintained balance begins to collapse. For the first time in history, the Piao family is no longer untouchable. At the center of it all stands Angela Piao. Brilliant, reclusive, and deliberately removed from power, she was never meant to stand at the heart of a political war. But as the world around her begins to turn, allies shifting, trust eroding, and the very people her family once protected becoming threats, everything she once held stable starts to break apart. The decision falls to her. Not because she wants it. Because no one else can. Beyond the family’s influence, figures like Kael Everwyn move in the shadows, carrying motives that threaten to expose truths the world was never meant to see. And as the line between truth and manipulation begins to blur, one reality becomes clear: This was never just a debate. It was a staged battlefield. To understand what must be protected… Angela will be forced to look into the past. Because the truth behind the World Tree was never meant to be found.

Selin Yildiz never imagined that her future would look like this—married to her best friend, navigating a terminal diagnosis, and making the impossible decision to try for a child before time runs out. What begins as a practical, almost clinical agreement quickly spirals into something far more complicated. Alekos Stavros has always loved Selin. He just never planned on acting on it—especially not like this. Bound by circumstance rather than romance, the two enter a fragile arrangement: to conceive a child while pretending their emotions are still safely contained. But nothing about their connection is simple. Beneath the humor, awkwardness, and chaos lies a tension neither of them can ignore. One night—an “odd day” marked on a calendar—changes everything. What was meant to be mechanical becomes consuming. What was supposed to be controlled turns into something raw, overwhelming, and impossible to separate from feeling. And in the aftermath, Selin is left grappling not only with her body’s reactions—but with the terrifying realization that something real might be forming. But Alekos? He refuses to acknowledge it. Deflecting, joking, and pretending it meant less than it did, he hides behind silence—terrified that admitting the truth will shatter everything they’ve built. As Selin struggles to reconcile desire, fear, and her uncertain future, and Alekos battles a love he refuses to name, they are forced to confront a question neither of them is ready to answer: What happens when something that was never supposed to be love… becomes impossible to ignore?
