Perfect. That’s what people call Princess Elysia. Blessed with rare red fire magic and trained by the best, she’s the shining jewel of the kingdom of Arvandor. But perfection has a price. When the ruthless Demon Queen Malvoria sets her sights on Elysia, all hell breaks loose—literally. As Malvoria’s army lays waste to Arvandor, Elysia’s life is shattered. Her beloved father, the king, is slain, and her once-peaceful home becomes a battlefield. Forced to flee with her girlfriend, Zera—the fierce daughter of her magic teacher—and her mentor, Lady Seraphina, Elysia’s journey of survival begins. But Malvoria wants more than just a kingdom. She wants Elysia, and nothing will stand in her way. As Elysia’s hidden powers awaken, an unexpected and dangerous attraction sparks between her and the demon queen.

Seraphina died betrayed. She perished in flames—poisoned by Darius, the fated mate she'd foolishly loved. Her childhood sweetheart, who sacrificed her only to save his mistress.

Now, caught between Kairos' relentless pursuit and Darius' desperate attempts to reclaim her, Seraphina faces an impossible choice: Drown the world in vengeance... or risk her shattered heart on the mate who could either heal her scars or destroy her completely?

She loved him like the moon—distant, untouchable, and dangerously beautiful. He loved her like a secret—hidden, forbidden, and doomed from the start. Rain was born in dirt and raised in silence—an omega in a world that worships strength. Her only joy? The quiet, stolen moments with Batista, the Alpha prince who once defended her when no one else would. She loved him from the shadows, never expecting to be seen. Then he saw her… and destroyed her. He ordered her mother’s execution. He sentenced Rain to death. And she died—almost. But the girl they threw into the pit came back. Not as a servant. Not as a traitor. As something more. Now Rain walks with rage in her heart and fire in her blood. And Batista—the Alpha who once held her hand and shattered her world—wants her back. But this time? She’s not the one who’ll kneel. In a world on the brink of war, where lies wear crowns and love demands blood, Rain must decide if she’ll burn the past to the ground… or become the weapon fate always meant her to be.

When struggling baker Serena Blake meets billionaire Elias Moreau, she’s shocked by his blunt offer: a one-year contract marriage in exchange for half a million dollars. For Elias, it’s the only way to secure his inheritance. For Serena, it’s a lifeline to save her family’s failing bakery. What begins as a cold business arrangement soon turns into a dangerous game of emotions, where blurred lines, hidden pasts, and unexpected passion threaten to rewrite the rules of their deal—and their hearts.

Winter drapes the city of Sapporo in silence—snow on rooftops, frost on windows, and secrets beneath every breath of cold air. It is in this frozen landscape that two lives on opposite ends of the city begin to move toward each other. Ichika Komori lives a life built on elegance and expectations. Surrounded by luxury and perfection, she is admired like a snow sculpture—beautiful, delicate, and cold to the touch. Her heart, long protected by ice, has forgotten what warmth feels like. Across the city, Rikuu Arakawa survives a world far less forgiving. Raised by hardship and night fights in back alleys, his emotions burn hot—anger, loyalty, fear, and a past that left its mark. The fire inside him keeps him alive, yet also threatens to consume him. When their paths cross, something impossible begins: Rikuu becomes the spark that melts the frost around Ichika’s guarded heart—and Ichika becomes the snow that cools the burning storms inside Rikuu. Their worlds should never have met. Yet winter has a way of changing everything. The Winter That Burned is a story of unlikely connection, slow and inevitable as falling snow, where fire learns to soften, and ice discovers how to feel again. In a city of silence and secrets, they will learn that some hearts freeze to survive… and some flames burn not to destroy, but to heal.
