They say death ends love. For Elara Veyne, it only restarts it. In every life, she finds him. In every life, he kisses her. Then… he kills her. Bound by a curse no god dares to lift, Elara has died seven times ... each death triggered by a kiss meant to save her. But in this seventh life, she awakens with all her memories… and a vow to break the cycle, even if it means destroying the man her soul still aches for. One kiss. One death. This time, it ends her way.

But just when Nova thinks she’s found something untouched by her bloodstained world, the truth surfaces: Andrew’s parents died in a fire set by none other than her father. Now he can’t look at her without seeing flames. And she can’t look at herself without feeling like the villain. Can love survive the sins of a family? Or will the fire that brought them together… tear them apart?

Aiko Shirai was a washed-up mangaka with three cancellations and a dying dream—until a mysterious pen appeared in her kitchen. No name. No owner. But when she used it, her new manga exploded to #1 overnight. Every panel drawn with it is gold. Every stroke sells. Her art is suddenly flawless. Her name? Back on top.

Now Aiko must protect her secret, defend her success, and survive a world where failure means vanishing, and popularity is everything. Because in an industry this obsessed with hits, the deadliest thing you can hold is a pen that makes them on it's own.
