Lily James and Asher Parker have always been a package deal. Neighbors, best friends, the kind of us that feels permanent when you're fifteen. Somewhere between shared secrets and quiet moments, everything starts to shift. Feelings grow deeper, glances linger longer, and suddenly the line between friendship and something more isn't so easy to ignore. But loving your best friend is terrifying and neither of them knows how to say the words out loud. Then Asher's family announces they're moving away from Rosemount, turning their world upside down. With time slipping through their fingers, Lily and Asher are left holding onto memories, stolen moments, and the hope that maybe their first love can survive the change.

For twenty-one years, the name Tawan has been nothing more than a stain in Lanna's history. A noble family accused of treason. A ruined estate. A child who disappeared without a trace. Keen Tawan has spent his entire life far from the kingdom that branded his family traitors, raised in secrecy with only fragments of the life he once knew. He has no desire to return to Lanna-or to the royal family responsible for his family's downfall. Then a summons from the Crown changes everything. Called back to the capital of Nakhara, Keen finds himself standing before Crown Prince Nawin Kittisak, the future king of Lanna and one of the kingdom's most powerful Alpha mages. Their meeting should have been nothing more than a political formality. Instead, something ancient stirs between them. As Keen is drawn deeper into palace life, old memories begin to surface, strange magic awakens within him, and the line between the history he was taught and the truth he remembers begins to blur. In a kingdom where magic runs through bloodlines and the past is never truly forgotten, Keen is about to discover that being the last Tawan may be far more dangerous than he ever imagined. And Nawin may be the one person standing between him and the secrets waiting to consume them both.

Synopsis In the world of Zerk, kingdoms wage war over riches, peoples live under violent regimes, and unknown creatures emerge from the wilds. As the Kingdom of Ragen declares war on Isoliusm, something far more ancient awakens beneath the frozen seas of the continent of Screr. Huguel is a lonely 17-year-old student living in the Gelepehull slum in the city of Cara. He struggles to survive poverty, discrimination against the Zombians, and the oppressive rule of the dictator Tsolgaver. After being brutally attacked during a mugging and cast into the sea—left to vanish—Huguel discovers a mysterious light-blue fruit attached to his shoulder: the Alshan. The fruit should not exist. Upon surviving, Huguel awakens powers that allow him to hear thoughts, sense emotions, and connect with the creatures of Zerk. Yet, each power reveals a dangerous truth: he was not chosen by chance. The Alshan is linked to the world's first war, the warring kingdoms, and a revelation that could shatter everything people believe about humanity itself.

The life Ariya knew ended the moment she closed her eyes. After twenty-three years of struggling to survive a life where she never felt like she truly belonged, Ariya awakens in a world far different from her own. A world of magic, mythical races, ancient kingdoms, and destinies written long before she ever existed. But there is one problem. She is no longer Ariya as she knew herself. She has awakened in the body of Princess Ariya Avelune, the beloved daughter of a royal family who believes they almost lost her forever. With no memories of the life this girl lived and no understanding of the world around her, Ariya must navigate the expectations of royalty while hiding the truth she doesn’t even fully understand herself. Surrounded by a family who loves her, a kingdom filled with secrets, and a magic system unlike anything she has ever known, Ariya must discover who she truly is. Because sometimes a second chance isn’t about returning to the life you lost. Sometimes it’s about finding the one you were always meant to have.

Sixteen-year-old Felix Carver carries the ghosts of magicians in his blood. He can communicate with them and use the magical abilities they wielded against monsters when they were alive. His newfound power would be pretty cool, if the ghosts in question weren't his family and the man who killed them. Death doesn't stop Felix's siblings from finding new ways to annoy him from beyond the grave, nor his parents from doing their best to protect him from the dangerous side of his new life. Felix learns that his family belonged to an organization of magicians called the Bright Guardians, while their killer was a part of the Guardian Uprising that tried to overthrow the organization eight years earlier. The Bright Guardians take Felix in, hoping they can train him to fight monsters and control the ghosts living inside of him. Felix barely understands the magical world his family kept secret from him, but he does make friends with other odd cases at the Bright Academy. Troublemaker Arisa Tamura is struggling to control her ability to animate objects while under the influence of cursed bracelets, while the smart but reserved Mason Briggs is a witch who was transformed into a demon as a last resort to save his life. Together, the three of them realize that Uprising spies are still hiding among the Guardians. They have no idea who they can trust, but they do know who they can't: a Guardian named Ernest Abernathy, who stole a powerful wand from Mason's parents before killing them. Felix, Mason, and Arisa must construct a plan to steal back the wand without any help. If their plan fails, Ernest will turn the Guardians against them and have them locked up, or executed. If they succeed, they'll have one more weapon in the fight against the Uprising's army. Either way, the approaching war is inevitable.

Two houses, separated by a line in the grass and a bitter, decades-old grudge. Growing up as next-door neighbors, Barrett and Minho were given strict instructions to treat each other as enemies. Instead, they built a quiet, rule-breaking alliance in the dark, communicating only through their facing bedroom windows and meeting under the cover of night. To their families, they are strangers. In reality, they are each other's only escape. Leaving for university offers a chance to finally break free from the weight of their families' hostility. To survive off-campus, they orchestrate a massive lie: coordinating a joint lease on a tiny, shared apartment while convincing their parents they are living completely alone. But dropping the performance of being enemies means facing the reality of who they are to each other. Confined to a single living space with no fences, no hedges, and no distance between them, the boundaries they spent years establishing begin to blur, forcing them to confront what happens when the secrets they keep from their families start turning inward.

Eleanor de Guzman, heir to a powerful modern business empire, lives a life built on luxury, reputation, and strict control. But when her family’s company begins to collapse under pressure from a dangerous underground syndicate, she is forced into a deal she never agreed to an arranged marriage tied to a decades-old agreement between her father and the Marquez mafia family. Lucian Marquez, the cold and powerful heir to a modern criminal empire disguised as a global business network, has no interest in romance or tradition. He agrees to the marriage only as a strategic move to strengthen his control and secure unstable alliances within his world. Eleanor refuses to accept her fate, determined not to become a pawn in either her family’s business or Lucian’s dangerous empire. But as threats against her grow and hidden betrayals surface within her own circle, escaping the arrangement becomes impossible. Forced into proximity, Eleanor and Lucian begin as enemies, clashing at every turn as two completely different worlds collide. However, beneath the tension, both begin to uncover truths about each other: Lucian’s ruthless exterior hides a life shaped by violence and isolation, while Eleanor proves she is far from the sheltered heiress everyone assumes she is. As their connection deepens, they discover the marriage is not just a business agreement but part of a larger power war involving corruption, hidden family secrets, and a target placed on Eleanor herself. Now bound together in a world where trust is dangerous, Eleanor and Lucian must decide whether to destroy each other...or survive the storm that was planned long before they met.

Eleanor learns that walking into the fire is easy… walking out untouched is another matter entirely.
