Blow Dry Bar Gold Coast

In the scorching village of Ẹkààrò, hunger runs deeper than the cracked red earth. Iyiola known simply as Iyi is no ordinary young man. Born with water in his lungs and stars in his palms, he carries a restless hunger that food cannot fill. What he truly craves is gold a symbol of power, wealth, and escape from a life tethered by poverty. By day, Iyi drifts through the dusty streets stained by Lagos grime. By night, he dives into the flickering glow of cyber cafes, hacking and scamming his way toward a dream that slips further away with every stolen dime. When danger closes in, he flees into the rain-soaked shadows, chased not just by men but by something ancient and unseen. An enigmatic herbalist offers Iyi a cryptic choice: to leave the world he knows behind and journey into a hidden realm where true wealth is weighed not by coins or diamonds, but by the soul’s price. With a bar of black soap pulsing like a heartbeat in his hands, Iyi steps into a world both familiar and surreal a silent market where riches vanish like smoke and where he is no longer one of them. The Weight of Gold is a gripping urban fantasy that explores the price of ambition, the pull of heritage, and the perilous quest for a treasure that could cost everything. Will Iyi find the gold he seeks or lose himself chasing it?

The prison itself is a trap—engineered by the ambitious Prince Jin to eliminate rivals and seize the throne. In six months, the emperor will uncover the truth and send a rescue. But by then, only a handful of the 330 prisoners will still be alive. And the prince’s new bride? Buried with the rest. Now cast in that doomed role, Yan Shuixin has one goal: survive. So she tends to the prince’s wounds, warms his bed, shields him from enemies, and refuses to fear the man fate discarded. She doesn’t expect him to care. She only hopes he lets her live. But when the rescue comes, so does his former fiancée—begging for forgiveness. Prince An only tightened his hold on Yan Shuixin and said coldly: “The mistress of Prince An’s manor is her. Anyone who dares covet her—will be disfigured.” And just like that, the girl who clung to him to stay alive... Had stolen the heart of the forgotten prince. ... Ever since Xiao Ye Heng lost his sight and was disfigured, his heart had turned to ashes. Then came the shattered leg—and with it, his descent into hell. He had long given up on living. He simply waited to die within those prison walls. Until Yan Shuixin appeared—like a beam of sunlight cutting through the gloom. She lit up the life he thought had lost all color, warmed the heart he believed had frozen beyond redemption. She became his reason to live. His obsession. His fate. My Other Works: 1.

At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence. Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle.

Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit.
