HIS SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE

Marcus Thorne has spent seven years as a member of the Special Protection Unit for President Zoran Kovac, the dictator who rules Ostrovia with an iron fist. Although he often struggled with doubts about the justice of the president's rule, he remained loyal and even saved Kovac's life multiple times. However, his loyalty was met with betrayal—when the opposition began to grow stronger, Kovac made him a scapegoat to solidify his power. As an explosion destroyed the event location, Marcus felt his life slipping away with one promise: if there is a second chance, he will never again be a tool for anyone. ​When his eyelids opened again, he had been reborn in the body of Alexandro "Alex" Vanderbilt, a 17-year-old teenager and the only child of the owner of Omni-Corp Electronic—the fifth-largest electronics company in the country. However, this life of luxury hides great suffering: at Saint Gabriel Academy—an exclusive school for children of wealthy families—Alex became a target of bullying and was treated as a "walking ATM" by his friends who only wanted his money and a chance to climb the social ladder. Left by his mother since childhood and ignored by his business-obsessed father, the original Alex felt trapped and alone. ​With the soul of an experienced soldier inside the body of a weak teenager, Marcus—who has now become Alex—promises to change everything. He will no longer allow himself to be treated like trash, will not be a tool for anyone, and will prove that true strength does not come from money or power alone—but from an unwavering determination. However, facing a school world full of deceit and hidden competition is not as easy as facing threats against a dictator. Can he protect himself and build a worthy new life, or will his past as a bodyguard follow him and endanger the people around him?

The Sevenbound Sovereign: The Sovereign Arcana

Twenty‑one‑year‑old Sorrel only wanted a normal night out. Instead, her date turns dangerous—too fast, too suddenly—and she runs for her life into the one place no human should ever enter: the Veilwood. The forest should have rejected her. Its boundaries have been sealed for a century, swallowing anyone who tries to cross. But Sorrel’s terror awakens something ancient inside her. Her dormant Sovereign Arcana flares to life, opening the Veilwood’s barrier just long enough for her to slip through. The forest senses her fear… and chooses her. Crossing the threshold triggers the Sevenfold Binding, tethering Sorrel to seven powerful men whose magic answers hers: a storm‑touched warrior, a shadow‑born spy, a wildfire mage, a gentle healer rooted in earth, a silver‑tongued illusionist, a moon‑blessed seer, and the boundary‑breaker who should not exist. Their fates are now tied to her survival. Their instincts sharpen around her. And the Veilwood itself begins to wake. Hunted by the prince who destroyed her family, Sorrel must learn why the forest opened for her—and why the Arcana has returned after a century of silence. But the deeper her bond with the Seven grows, the more dangerous her destiny becomes. The Veilwood did not choose lightly. And Sorrel is no one’s pawn. To survive, she must decide whether to run from the power inside her… or rise as the Sovereign the realm has been waiting for.

Starbound: Chained across many lifetimes

Some loves defy the gods. Some curses last forever. For a thousand years, Giana has loved the same man across countless lifetimes—watching him die and be reborn, again and again, never once remembering her face. She was a mortal girl who climbed a sacred mountain and found a king. He was the Linchpin, the immortal who held back the darkness between worlds. When he made her immortal to save her, the gods punished them both: he would be reborn endlessly, his memory erased each time, while she would remain—the sole keeper of a love story he would never remember. Until now. Kaelen Vance is a billionaire CEO haunted by nightmares he cannot explain: mountains, snow, a woman with ancient eyes reaching for him—deaths that feel more real than his own life. Then he sees her. Across a crowded coffee shop, their eyes lock. And for the first time in a thousand years, something in him knows her too. She knows him. She has always known him. But their awakening has not gone unnoticed. The darkness the King once held at bay is stirring, drawn to the fracture in the curse like wolves to blood. Ancient evils are waking. They remember what he forgot. And they will not let him remember. Now Giana must help Kaelen reclaim his truth before the shadows consume them both. But the past is a blade. Every memory cuts—every death, every goodbye, every moment she held his hand as he slipped away. A CEO who trusts logic, data, control. Now he must trust her. Must trust that the visions flooding his mind are not madness, but memory. Must accept that he loved her across centuries—and that the walls he built were never to keep others out, but to keep the truth buried. A love that outlasted the gods. A curse designed to break them. A darkness that remembers. They have found each other again. But in a world where memories are weapons and shadows are hungry, finding each other is only the beginning. And this time, they will fight together and damn the gods.
