Puis… ça ne l’est plus. Parce que le problème n’est pas la réalité qui bug. Le problème… c’est que Léo commence à la contrôler. Transformer une attaque en spaghetti ? Facile. Arrêter le temps ? Pourquoi pas. Casser les règles du monde ? Aucun souci. Mais chaque action a un prix. Car quelque chose observe. Quelque chose apprend. Et surtout… quelque chose veut corriger cette “erreur”. Très vite, Léo comprend qu’il n’est pas juste un élève avec un pouvoir bizarre. Il est une anomalie. Une faille. Peut-être même… une menace.

Parce que dans ce monde, les règles ne sont plus fixes. Elles peuvent être brisées. Réécrites. Ou retournées contre lui. Et quand la réalité elle-même décide de riposter… la vraie question n’est plus de savoir s’il peut gagner. Mais jusqu’où il est prêt à aller.

A poignant narrative that explores the intersections of love, community, and climate change in a tropical riverside village. The novel follows Nia, a local fisherwoman whose livelihood depends on the river, and Dr. Kofi Adeyemi, a passionate botanist documenting the effects of environmental decline. Their unexpected meeting at the water’s edge sets the stage for a story of intertwined fates, as both characters confront the harsh realities of a drying river and the cascading consequences for the land and its people. Part I: The Water’s Edge The story begins with Nia, deeply connected to the river that has sustained her family for generations. However, signs of decline are apparent—the water level is receding, and the river's flow is slowing. The arrival of Dr. Kofi Adeyemi signals a new chapter; he has come to study the impacts of climate change on local ecosystems. His initial observations reveal a troubled landscape, where deforestation and industrial encroachment have started taking a toll. An unexpected encounter between Nia and Kofi by the mangroves sparks mutual interest and curiosity, setting the foundation for a budding relationship. Part II: Love in the Time of Drought As Kofi delves deeper into his research, he uncovers critical signs of environmental damage, which threaten the river's ecosystem and, by extension, the village's future. His discoveries indicate a larger pattern of decline caused by deforestation and soil erosion, leading to increased drought. Nia, meanwhile, shares memories of her family's history and the once-thriving river. Their shared experiences foster a bond, and the two grow closer, discussing their hopes and fears beneath the ancient baobab tree. However, challenges arise as Kofi faces pressure from his institution to focus on research rather than activism. At the same time, Nia's community is divided—some villagers are tempted by the promises of industrial projects that could provide short-term relief but risk long-term environmental degradation. The couple's relationship is tested as they navigate these external pressures, torn between their growing love and the urgent need to address the environmental crisis. Part III: When the River Runs Dry As the drought intensifies, the river shrinks to a trickle, exacerbating tensions in the village. Nia experiences the devastating effects firsthand when her fishing nets come up empty, symbolizing the loss of her way of life. Meanwhile, wildfires break out in the surrounding areas, driven by the prolonged dry spell, and highlight the dire state of the environment. Despite the growing strain, Kofi and Nia find strength in one another and rally the community to take action. They inspire the villagers to initiate conservation efforts, planting trees and combating soil erosion in hopes of reviving the landscape. Part IV: The River Reborn In the climax, the community comes together, driven by a shared commitment to restoring their land. Led by Nia and Kofi, they begin reforestation projects, aiming to heal the environment. In a dramatic turn, rainfall finally arrives, rejuvenating the river and symbolizing a new beginning for the land and its people. As the river flows once more, Nia and Kofi’s love story reaches a resolution, marked by a shared vow to protect the revitalized ecosystem for future generations. The novel concludes with an epilogue set years later, where the river is strong and the community prospers, honoring the legacy of Nia and Kofi. When the River Runs Dry is a heartfelt story about the resilience of nature and the enduring power of love and collective action in the face of climate change.

A bootlegger runs into trouble while hunting love in Harlem.

Before Feng Yi ascended the throne, no one wanted to marry this prince who lacked presence and was out of favor. After his ascension, the harem was filled with the daughters of high-ranking court officials. They were an eyesore to look at and vexing to deal with. He felt that even favoring them would defile his own dragon body. He decided to choose a woman with a fiery, arrogant, domineering, and jealous nature to enter the palace, to cast all this "trash" into the Cold Palace on his behalf. Song Yunzhao had transmigrated to ancient times for fourteen years, all the while laying low and just trying to get by. She was just waiting for the plot to begin, then she would transform into a villainess—arrogant, domineering, fiery, and jealous—so that she would be rejected from the selection and could then choose a husband to live a carefree and happy life with. Later, Song Yunzhao watched as His Majesty smiled at her with immense indulgence and said, "Zhaozhao, come here." Song Yunzhao immediately felt that something was terribly wrong, a chill running up from the soles of her feet. The damned Emperor wore a gentle expression, but his eyes were as cold as ice; he clearly wanted to use her as his blade!
