Eighteen years old, worn down, and stuck in the repetitive grind of a dull college life, she’s convinced she has nothing left to offer—no energy, no joy, no hope. Life feels like one endless loop of exhaustion, dragging her through the motions. But just when she thinks she’s slipping into an abyss of monotony, her spirited little sister storms in like a whirlwind. From outrageous arguments to laugh-out-loud misadventures, their chaotic bond turns every mundane day into a rollercoaster ride. Beneath the teasing and eye-rolls lies a quiet truth: sometimes, the ones who drive us crazy are the very reason we stay sane. This is a heartfelt tale of sisterhood, resilience, and the beautiful mess that is family—a story of two polar opposites learning to survive life’s trials, one exasperated laugh at a time. Because when the world feels heavy, it’s the maddening chaos of love that keeps us afloat. "I can't even stand on my own two feet, and you want me to help you?" I grumbled. "Aww, I know you care about me! How can you not?" she teased with a sly grin. Maybe love is nothing more than chaos in disguise. Want to find out? Dive in.

As fire rains from the sky and the world collapses around him, Kain rushes to find his brother Danté—only to discover him lying lifeless in a pool of blood.

But when Kain opens his eyes, he’s somewhere else entirely—alive, unscathed, and in a strange new world far removed from the fiery destruction he left behind. Struggling to understand his new reality, Kain stumbles upon a mysterious town and crosses paths with Elara, a powerful young woman with a dark legacy. Their meeting seems fated, but what secrets lie in this unfamiliar land? And could the answers Kain seeks about his brother and his own survival be tied to Elara’s hidden past?

“No matter what, never fall for the vampire king.” Kiara Whitman always knew her fate was twisted because she is the first hybrid, but things took a drastic turn when she was offered a contract marriage with the ruthless Valerian King. There was just one clause on the contract: "Falling for Adriel Valerian is equivalent to death.” But how could she follow such a clause? Her heart raced under his gaze, and when he spoke, her thoughts became foggy. It was clear as day that if the clause was meant to keep her alive, she wouldn’t survive. Unfortunately, Adriel, the vampire king, didn’t feel the same for her because he had his own plans for the hybrid princess; she was the key to everything he craved—his ultimate freedom from hell. He had sworn never to let himself fall for her because it would be messy; he had to be smart, vigilant, and stay in control. What will happen when Kiara finds out the real reason behind the contract marriage? Or when she discovers that she was just a tool for survival all along, just a possession to the vampire king and nothing less? Will she decide to leave for good or stay to find out her purpose? Or at least seduce the vampire king, if at all that’s possible.
