Excerpt: Ethan's eyes gleamed with amusement as he whispered in Ava's ear, "You know, wife, you're adorable when you're trying to be stern." He was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed, his gaze fixed on her with an intensity that made her heart race. Ava's eyes flashed with irritation, her cheeks flushing. "Ethan, stop teasing me. We need to focus on our plan." She tried to sound firm, but her voice trembled slightly, betraying her frustration. Ethan's grin only grew wider. "Oh, come on, Ava. You know I'm just trying to lighten the mood. You're so serious all the time." He pushed off the wall, his movements fluid and graceful, and took a step closer to her. Ava's hands clenched into fists, her voice firm. "This isn't a game, Ethan. Our lives are at stake. We can't afford to make mistakes." She tried to sound convincing, but her eyes kept drifting to his, and she couldn't help but notice the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled. Ethan's expression turned innocent, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Who says I'm not taking it seriously? Maybe I'm just trying to distract you from the tension between us." He raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on hers, and Ava felt her heart skip a beat. "There's no tension, Ethan. We're just allies in this marriage pact," she lied, trying to sound convincing. But her voice was barely above a whisper, and Ethan's knowing gaze made her feel like he could see right through her. Ethan's chuckle was low and husky. "Keep telling yourself that, Ava. But I see the way you look at me sometimes... like you're trying to resist a temptation." He took another step closer, his eyes locked onto hers, and Ava felt her pulse race. "I don't know what you're talking about," she lied again, trying to sound convincing. But her eyes darted away, betraying her. Ethan's whisper was soft, his breath caressing her ear. "Oh, but I think you do, Ava. And soon, you'll have to admit it." His words sent shivers down her spine, and Ava knew she was in danger of falling for her husband's charms, even though she refused to admit it. The air was charged with tension, their banter a delicate dance of denial and attraction. And in that moment, Ava knew she was walking a thin line between resistance and surrender.

As they push her boundaries Isabella has to decide; can she surrender to their wicked desires and love them both or will their scandalous affair destroy her?

Lacrima Taiwo, once a child soldier in a war-torn realm, is starting anew under the mentorship of Archmage Lunabelle Taiwo, the woman who pulled him from the battlefield and taught him a life of nobility and restraint. His past, marred by violence and survival, has granted him an instinctive understanding of Kanon energy that surpasses his peers, making him a target of envy among the elite students at Cleo’s Academy of the Mystical Arts, the most prestigious school in the capital. Here, he’s surrounded by heirs to ancient magical lineages, each grappling with their own political tensions and ambitions. Lacrima is determined to keep to himself, focusing on mastering his newfound skills and burying the dark memories of his childhood. Yet, the academy has secrets of its own. Beneath its grand towers and ancient halls, a hidden world festers—a place of shifting mirrors, spectral whispers, and treacherous shadows. Known as the Wraithwell, this realm is bound by the Veil of Eternity, a fragile barrier that barely contains a sinister energy stirring within. As ancient wards falter, dark forces—dragons, liches, and cults—begin to slip through, threatening to unravel the very fabric of reality. When Lacrima and his fiery classmate Zander stumble upon a map hidden within a spectral echo of the academy’s past, they are drawn into a conspiracy as old as magic itself. The map guides them to the Mirror Halls, an eerie, alternate version of the academy that pulses with the life of a place caught between worlds and time itself. Here, they encounter whispers of a figure called the Weaver, an entity woven into the academy’s history and its magic, along with an ancient order known only as the Crimson Key. Together, Lacrima and Zander must navigate this treacherous underworld, where each choice could tip the scales of reality and time dilation could alter their very existence. Their search for answers unveils forbidden knowledge and blood-bound secrets that reveal Zander’s family’s sinister ties to primordial beings and Lacrima’s own unbreakable connection to the Weaver. With dark entities slipping through the Veil and archmages scheming for power, Lacrima realizes that to save the world from impending doom, he may have to surrender to a fate he has fought to escape—a fate that may cost him his freedom, his sanity, and even his soul. Ghough is a journey into the shadowed heart of magic, where trust is a luxury, time bends under pressure, and darkness is a constant companion.
