    Summary

    Astrid was a commoner and a criminal from the slums of the capital, trained by the resistance to walk and speak like a noble. She wasn’t meant to make friends. She wasn’t meant to be noticed. Definitely not meant to catch the attention of the Grand Duke’s only son.

    Hiccup was one of the highest-ranking nobles in the Kingdom of the Wilderwest, the son of the Grand Duke of Berk, born into privilege, power, and expectation, but he didn’t act like the others. Didn’t believe the things they did. And deep in the woods, far from the eyes of the court, he was hiding a Night Fury—a living death sentence in the Kingdom.

    She wasn’t supposed to meet him. He wasn’t supposed to see through her disguise.

    Both of them were living secret lives, wearing masks to survive.
    And both of them—quietly, dangerously—wanted the same thing:

    To take down King Drago Bludvist.

    Summary

    If it were safer, I would have kissed you in the daylight.

     

     

     

    East Berlin, 1964.

     

     

    Warren Kepler, dutiful Stasi officer, lives in the static—recording dissidents, obeying orders, trying not to feel too much. Gray rooms. Gray rules. A life half-lived.

    Then he hears the voice.

    Doug Eiffel, brash American spy and pirate broadcaster, slips through the airwaves with jazz, sedition, and laughter wrapped in smoke. He’s everything Warren shouldn’t want—and everything Warren can’t stop needing.

    What begins as surveillance becomes obsession.
    Obsession becomes contact.
    Contact becomes something far more dangerous.

    Across a city built on silence, two men risk everything for the sound of each other’s breath.

    Summary

    In the first snowy nights of winter, the legendary Winter Express sets off – a train that appears only during the Advent season and takes its passengers on a journey full of magic, secrets, and quiet wonders.

    Klein Moretti, a dutiful conductor with a calm gaze and a warm heart, believes in order, punctuality, and the security of his routine.
    Leonard Mitchell, a traveling poet with ink-stained fingers and lost dreams, believes only in words and what lies between the lines.

    As their paths meet on the Winter Express, an unexpectedly profound connection develops between frosty windows, flickering fireplace lights, and sparkling snow valleys. They move closer every day, through shared warmth, stolen glances, poems that reveal more than they say, and moments that hover like shimmering lights in the dark.

    But the closer Christmas Eve draws, the clearer it becomes: Some encounters are no coincidence. And some journeys don't end at the end of the tracks, but right in the heart.

    Summary

    “Let this serve as a reminder,” the King declared, his voice booming across the courtyard, “that magic is a crime against Camelot. Those who practice the sorcerer’s craft bring only wickedness, treachery, and death.”

    He nodded to the executioner. The axe lifted.

    Oscar flinched, magic surging dangerously beneath his skin like a cornered animal. He clenched his fists tighter, nails biting into his palms, fighting it, fighting himself.

    Summary

    “You can’t keep bringing people down on whatever fucking sinking ship you’re sailing, Mikey.”

    “Sinking ship?” Mikey gawked, keeping his voice below a whisper. “What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”

    “I’m saying,” the man said, bringing his face close to Mikey’s once again. Too close in this kind of environment. His heart was pounding in his ears. “You’re digging a hole for yourself, and one day it’s gonna cave in. And I won’t be there when it does. I don’t think anyone will.”

    Summary

    It's Game of Thrones in the 90s with Stranger Things vibes!

    After getting shot by the Bolton mafia, Officer Eddard Stark leaves NYC and relocates his family to the small town of Kingsland in sleepy coal country Pennsylvania in hopes of keeping them safe. But all is not safe and sound in the small town. In addition to the corruption of Mayor Baratheon and his wife, Cersei Lannister, people are disappearing. There are rumors about pale creeps in the woods, cults, and fire-breathing beasts lurking deep beneath the abandoned mines.

    Much of the mystery seems to be swirling around the town’s new lab, along with Daenerys Targaryen, a quiet heiress to the fortune of the town’s late coal baron. The Stark kids are told by their police officer father to keep out of trouble. But sinister forces in the town start to pull the Stark family apart. The children end up getting caught up in a world of danger and the paranormal as they fight to get to the bottom of the town’s mystery.

    Summary

    The room was dim, the windows shuttered tight against the outside world. A single desk lamp cast long shadows across the worn wooden table, where two cups of untouched tea had long since gone cold.

    “Do you understand the assignment?” came the voice across from him, low, clipped, and final.

    Colin didn’t blink. “Yes, sir.”

    The man nodded once. “Good. You leave in a week’s time.”
