They say that 90 percent of the world's oceans have been unexplored, due to just how much floor there is to cover. Imagine a world where, instead of deep trenches of water, our oceans were filled with forests—endless forests—where the further you go, the stranger, and larger the creatures become. The air growing thicker, and heavier, with the stinging sharpness of ozone; trees that stretch into the stratosphere, or bottomless muddy quagmires that are so deep that the bodies claimed can never be discovered; deer the size of whales, or bigger still, with an anomalous number of legs; the oppressive daytime darkness, never ending, due to the boundless appetite of the trees. Who knows what untold methods of ravenous mutilation might be discovered in the great beyond; or what unfathomable treasures lurk just beyond the shadow's edge. We find ourselves marooned in little islands of flat plain in the midst of miles and endless miles of oppressive wooded wilderness. Do not let the sunlight fool you. There is nothing keeping the terrors of the depths from venturing into the light.

Ava is twenty-two, in her final year of hotel management, and she has built her life around a man who never knew the full truth. She keeps a wooden box under her bed with birthday cards, hotel key cards, small notes, and little things Adrian gave her over the years. It is more than a keepsake box. It is a private museum of devotion. Every time she opens it, her fingers shake just a little, her throat tightens, and she has to look away for a second before touching the oldest card, because the memory of who she was when she received it still lives in the paper. That emotional symbol gives the book a strong spine. Readers can feel her longing before the romance even starts. Adrian is returning to New York after four years away. He is older, sharper, more powerful, and more isolated than before. He has built a global hotel empire, but his success has cost him sleep, peace, and stillness. He suffers from insomnia and keeps it hidden behind discipline and cold control. He is the kind of man who looks composed from a distance, but Ava notices the small cracks. The loosened tie after a long flight. The pause before he answers a question. The faint pressure between his brows when he thinks no one is watching. He is not yet in love with her. At first, he is simply stunned by how much she has grown. Their reunion is quiet, but it lands like a storm. He says her name, and she nearly forgets how to breathe. She says “Hi, Adrian,” and instantly hates how small it sounds. He smiles at her with the same familiar warmth he always had, but now that warmth feels dangerous. During dinner, the atmosphere is normal on the surface: Chloe passing dishes, Daniel speaking with his hands, laughter moving around the table. Beneath that normality, Ava is unraveling. She touches the rim of her glass, avoids Adrian’s eyes for too long, then looks up and finds him already watching her. That tiny moment becomes the beginning of the emotional pressure that drives the book. The internship at Blackwood International is important because it keeps Ava’s ambition central. She is not simply “the girl who loves the billionaire.” She is a serious student, determined to earn her place. Adrian sends the opportunity without making it a favor, and that matters. He frames it as professional, not sentimental. He respects her desire to build something on her own. Ava’s fingers hover over the application button more than once, her stomach twisting with the fear that people will think she got in because of him. Lily, her best friend, becomes the voice that grounds her. She does not romanticize the situation. She asks the hard question: is Ava applying because it is a great opportunity, or because it is Adrian? Once Ava enters Blackwood International, the emotional rhythm changes. Adrian starts seeing her in a professional setting. Not as Daniel’s daughter. Not as the girl with birthday cards. As a capable woman who can hold a room, solve problems, and speak with confidence. That shift is the first real crack in Adrian’s self-control. He notices the way she tucks her hair behind her ear when thinking, the way she squares her shoulders before speaking, the way she presses her thumb against the side of her index finger when nervous. These physical details matter because they make her feel real and alive. They also start to disarm him. He begins to admire her in a way that makes him uncomfortable. His attraction does not arrive loudly. It arrives as a question he cannot answer.

The last emperor of the Ancient Empire, Harloumen VIII, fought for fifty years to save his country from collapse, but in his last battle he was killed in a duel by King Frank II of Fresfurt. After his death, his country was destroyed, his children and grandchildren were massacred, but their blood was not left unvenged. Karlmen, the son of Harloumen VIII's daughter Harlenna, took revenge on his family and founded the Kislaveyn Dynasty. A thousand years later, in the year 1795 of the Ancient Imperial Calendar, Harloumen was reborn as Ricardo Kislaveyn, the son of Lord IV Orsman, the 65th lord of the Kislaveyn Dynasty, but this life would be just as dangerous as the previous one, if not more so, because in the lord's harem, each wife and concubine would kill the sons of the others so that their own sons would become the next lord, most boys would die before they even reached the age of 10 due to intrigues in the Harem. Will Ricardo be able to survive in this dangerous environment?

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

"Luca, please…" she cried. "You need to see who the devil really is. And decide if you want me that way," he said. "Because this is who I am. You either accept it or reject it." Luca's hand reached for a knife from the array of tools spread meticulously on the desk. "I wanted to prolong his suffering…" he murmured. "Luca…" she whispered. "But since this is a show and tell…" Without a pause, he cut the rope holding Inferi's wrists, letting the man drop heavily to the floor with a thud that made the room shudder. Inferi's eyes, wide with terror, flicked to Vee as his body twisted weakly under the weight of his injuries. "This isn't one of those times when you ask me to let someone go, I am going to kill him right here." "You have two choices," he continued. "Walk away right now, and I will accept that you will never accept who I am. Or stay and watch me kill him, to prove to me that you accept all of me, that you want all of me." "God, please, Luca, don't do this." Behind Luca, Inferi struggled weakly on the floor. Luca looked only at her. "It's simple, Vee. I am giving you a choice. I don't have a gun to your head, now, do I? Are you ashamed of who I am, or do you accept who I am?" "It's not so simple!" Vee yelled. "You're asking me to stand here while you take a life." "I will count to ten." He gestured with the knife toward the steel door behind her. "There is the door. Here is me." "Jesus!" Vee bit down on her lower lip. She squeezed her eyes shut. "Jesus Christ!" "One…" "Two…" She stepped toward him. "Three…" "I'm not running." She moved closer. "I will not run. I will stay." "Four…" Vee drew in a shaky breath, steadying herself against the tidal wave inside her. "I meant what I said last night. I said I love you. I meant it. But don't subject me to this. It will not change how I feel about you. It won't." She stepped even closer, until the knife hovered inches from her hip. "But it will most definitely change me." She swallowed hard. "If you make me stand here and watch this, you are not testing my love. You are reshaping me into something I may never recognize again." Her hands came up slowly and pressed against his chest. "I love the man who protects. The man who terrifies everyone else but holds me like I matter." Her eyes glistened, but she did not look away. "I know what you are. I accept what you are. But do not ask me to become it." "Five…" Luca moved behind Inferi now, the knife hovering at his throat. Vee's feet rooted to the floor, the edge of Luca's jacket gripped tightly in her fists. Her eyes, brimming with tears locked onto his, daring him to see, really see, what she was becoming in his presence. "Six…" he continued. He held the knife steady against Inferi's skin, a cold, absolute line of judgment, waiting. And in that pause, Luca realized a part of him wanted her to run, desperately. He wanted her to bolt, to retreat from this room of blood and fear, because maybe, just maybe, if she ran, he would see the futility of the obsession clawing at him from the inside. "Seven…" he murmured. "Eight…" "Nine…" Synopsis: She insulted the devil. He decided to own her.

In a city buried under forgetful snow, survival is a math problem. For twenty-four-year-old Risay, the equation just turned fatal. Poverty is a full-time job. To keep his sick mother’s apartment warm in a freezing, unforgiving metropolis, Risay controls every minute of his life with rigid precision. He copes with the chaos by sketching clean, minimalist lines, finding peace in empty spaces. Then he takes a shortcut. In a dark alley, Risay witnesses a murder unlike any other.
