Harriet Stowe

Beneath the frigid landscapes of Sweden lies a web of lies, corruption, and deadly secrets waiting to be unraveled. At its heart is Lisbeth Salander—a fiercely brilliant hacker with a mind like a blade and a past that refuses to release its grip. Scarred but unbroken, she’s an enigma: a defender of justice for others but a loner battling her own demons. When disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist is offered the chance to salvage his career, he accepts an unusual assignment: uncover the mystery behind the decades-old disappearance of Harriet Vanger, the beloved niece of a wealthy but dysfunctional industrialist family. The Vangers, cloaked in wealth and power, harbor dark, sinister truths. As Mikael digs deeper into their history, he finds himself drawn into a chilling maze of family betrayals, unspeakable crimes, and a legacy of violence that stretches far beyond what he could have imagined. Forced into an uneasy partnership with Lisbeth, Mikael discovers that she is not just an ally but a force of nature—a woman capable of uncovering truths no one else dares to see. Together, they peel back layers of deceit, facing a torrent of threats, lies, and mortal danger. But as they close in on the truth, Lisbeth’s own shadowy past rises to the surface, threatening to consume her and derail their investigation. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a masterful tale of vengeance, justice, and redemption. It is a gripping exploration of the boundaries of trust, the price of truth, and the indomitable strength of those who refuse to be silenced. Unflinching, riveting, and deeply human, this is a story that will haunt you long after the final page.

Harriet is a college student who is in love with her boyfriend, Jay who is a soccer player. However, things change a little when she finds herself suddenly falling for her billionaire best friend, Kit.

Harriet Gozon always knew her life would get complicated after that terrible day—when she was suddenly pulled into Magike, a magical world where humans are forbidden. And once you're there, there's no way back to Earth. Now, you might be wondering, "Wait, what happened? Where is she now? Did aliens abduct her?" Well, no aliens here—just magic. It was an ordinary day until something happened, and before Harriet knew it, she was trapped in Magike, unable to return home. As an ordinary human, she worries: Is there a way back to Earth, or is she stuck here forever? With the help of three friends—who brought her to Magike for protection—Harriet is determined to find out. Together, they'll navigate this strange world and uncover the truth about her fate, hoping against hope that there's a way back home.

In this present reality where enchantment is bound to the bloodline of a solitary family, Elara Thorne needs just to get away from her predetermination. As the hesitant watchman of the Thorned Crown — an old remnant of untold power — Elara dreams of a day to day existence liberated from obligation, regardless of the ages before her who committed themselves to safeguarding the domain. Yet, as the divine Cover's Blossom draws near, dim powers are attracted to the crown, taking steps to unwind both the realm and its mysteries. Tormented by her family's inheritance, directed by a champion auntie with insider facts of her own, and sought after by a strange sovereign with his own plan, Elara should conclude whether she'll embrace her power — or let the realm tumble to demolish. With partners including her wildly faithful shapeshifter companion and an imperial history specialist, Elara's process will uncover stowed away insights, prohibited wizardry, and the tough ties of devotion. In a test of skill and endurance, Elara should uncover the genuine expense of using the Thorned Crown and face the old soul that exists in. However long the crown stays in her grasp, she should stand up to the dull destiny bound to her blood... or then again risk all that she loves to liberate herself from it.

[MATURE CONTENT] Uncle Heath gave me a look that said that he knows what I'm doing and that he finds me petty and a scheming sly fox. He suggested countless times that I changed my codename from The Countess to Fox or Nine-tailed Fox, because he says it suits me better, or a Serpent, but I don't care. I am literally a Countess after all. He sighed. "Okay, Countess, you won. But if you get yourself killed on this, the same way your parents and their friends later on did, don't come back to haunt me as a ghost. I've been trying to protect you, as I promised I would as your Godfather, but you are a stubborn lil thing who kept insisting on this. You're 27 now, you better not die younger than you mom did." "Wait," Harriet gasped, "the mission you want," "It's the one my parents were working on when they died. Probably the reason why they died and related to their killers," sigh. "It's what kept me working all of those years, the hope on getting my hands on this mission, and uncover what actually happened in July 9th of 1999." I hate number 9, it signifies unluck to me, while 7 is my lucky number. Call me superstitious if you want, I feel like it's an actual thing. "All the documents on their death are here, it's kept secret together with the archived mission they were working in." "Ah, Selene," she said softly, coming closer, full of compassion but not touching me, as her hands are dirty with uncle Heath's cock. Ew, ew. "It's okay, it's been 24 years now," sigh. "Which makes me want to solve it even more," then I turned my eyes to uncle Heath, who was now up, standing at 1.97m, opening his safe that's hidden behind the big painting of a scenery found in Sicily, Italy, which Harriet painted. Picking a thick file in a leather case, he held it under his left arms and locked the safe again, covering it with the painting. I broke into it once, but I was unable to crack the code of the safe. I always knew he hid this file in there, "Be careful, for the love of God, Selene." "I will, I promise!" Narrowing his eyes, he raised his right pinky finger and I cringed in disgust. "Wash your hands first, ew." Rolling his eyes, we quickly went to the bathroom at the back of his office and then came back, hands clean, file still under his arm. "There you go, now, pinky it up, I know better than believe your shallow spoken words by now, I know how scheming you are." Grinning like a wolf who had been caught in sheep's clothing, I raised my pinky finger and intertwined with his. "I promise I'll be careful." Sigh, "I can't believe I'm giving you this. The last two times I gave these damned files to someone, they died. You batter change that statistics to 2:1 instead of 3:0, Selene. Do you understand me?" I grabbed the files, but he kept his hold on it, "I understand," with all my strength, I tried tugging it to me and out of his grip, and after a lil struggle, he let go.

"You're a monster." "Aye. That I may be. But you'll soon realize, you're a monster too." His breath tickled the hairs on my nape, causing my skin to prickle with awareness of how close we were.
