Seventeen-year-old Isabelle "Belle" Hartwell doesn't do vulnerable. Since twelve when her mother packed a Louis Vuitton bag and left for a richer man she learned: love is performance. Love is leverage. Love disappears when the shine wears off. She has the designer wardrobe, the penthouse, the name that makes teachers straighten. But no one sees past the label. Until Ethan Cole sits three seats away in AP Chemistry and ruins everything. Ethan is Crestview's best-kept secret and worst-kept scandal scholarship kid, double shifts, raising his sister, carrying the team, and still showing up with a dog-eared novel under his arm. He doesn't ask for anything. Especially not Isabelle Hartwell's attention. But a hallway confrontation throws them into a semester-long partnership neither wanted. Late nights. Shared silences. Small moments that crack open things both swore were sealed shut. Slowly, they start to matter to each other. Until Belle's father discovers what's growing between them. And when the truth about Hartwell Industries' funding of Crestview's scholarship program explodes, the only question is whether love can survive the moment it stops being free.

THE ARCHITECT: PHANTOM OF THE HIMALAYAS ​Genre: Sci-Fi / Cyberpunk / Urban Adventure ​Synopsis: ​"In a world where every breath is tracked by data, one boy from the mountains became the ultimate glitch in the machine." ​Naitik is an ordinary 14-year-old student in the quiet valley of Bageshwar, India. But in the shadow-layers of the Global Web, he is a legend known as 'The Architect'. Using scrap-metal antennas and a mind that speaks the language of pure code, Naitik has done the impossible—he has breached the "unhackable" vault of the Global Security Council. ​Now, the empire is striking back. The Council has deployed its elite 'Entropy' units to hunt him down, erase his identity, and seize his mind. To protect his mother and his heritage, Naitik must execute the most dangerous command of his life: The Ghost Protocol. He must delete his digital existence and become a phantom in the network. ​From discovering a thousand-year-old Quantum-Organic Chip hidden beneath an ancient Himalayan temple to battling high-tech drones with home-made inventions, Naitik’s journey is a high-octane race for survival. ​Can a Class 8 genius outmaneuver a billion-dollar surveillance empire? Can a 'Digital Ghost' find his way back to his human soul? ​Step into a world where ancient spirituality meets future quantum hacking. The era of The Architect has arrived.

The meter kept climbing, its glow intensifying until the screen flashed a single, impossible phrase: “Logic Disruption — Level: God.” That was the moment Jayden’s world changed forever. Not in the way it did for other sixteen-year-olds when their magic awakened—no, his awakening was something far beyond human comprehension. It was the day destiny reached out and tore him from the ordinary, casting him into the realm of legends. Jayden’s path was unlike any other. His fate was written in defiance of human limits, bound to transcend the very laws of existence. “Hmph. You’re too weak,” said the voice that echoed through the silence. “Are you sure we’re the same person?” Fantasy stood before him, his gaze sharp, his tone dripping with disdain. They shared the same face, the same soul—but Fantasy was Jayden’s future self. A future scarred and broken. A future where the world had been reduced to ashes because he lacked the strength to stop the supreme being known only as The One. “I walked a lonely path,” Fantasy said, his eyes clouded with regret. “I thought solitude was the price to protect others from pain. But I was wrong.” He paused, the air trembling with power and grief. “You… will walk a different path.” And so it began—Jayden’s journey to surpass his future self, to rise beyond all who came before him, and to challenge the fate that threatened to consume his world. This time, he would not walk that path alone.

For years, Caelum Dragon was the laughingstock of the Suncrest Empire—a stuttering, weak-willed heir living in the shadow of his legendary house and brilliant twin sister. But after a sudden awakening, the pathetic "young master" is gone, replaced by a modern soul with an intimate knowledge of the world’s hidden mechanics. Now possessing an unprecedented SSS-Rank talent and a cold, analytical mind, Caelum must navigate a shark tank of elite heirs, ancient political feuds, and the expectations of a family that once despised him. But as the Great Houses converge at the Royal Academy, a darkness far greater than school rivalries begins to stir. The Void, an ancient and hungry extinction, is organizing its forces. Even worse, the Black Phoenix—a ghost organization that once brought humanity to its knees—has reappeared, and their sights are set directly on the Academy’s gifted youth. In a world where one's aura is their only law, Caelum must master his newfound frost and fire to protect a future he already knows is doomed. The winter of the Dragons has arrived. And the Empire is not prepared for the storm...
