In a world where being smart without money means you're nothing, Arnold Palmer learned at a very young age that being talented or book smart alone could not save him. A 19-year-old scholarship student at an elite university, Arnold lives at the very bottom of the societal hierarchy and is constantly mocked by rich heirs, overlooked and ignored by his lecturers, and sometimes brought to his knees by a society that only respects the wealthy and influential. Ignored by fate and abandoned by his father for over two years now, Arnold’s only reason for living is his younger sister, Zendaya Palmer, the only responsibility he swore never to abandon. But everything changes for them the night Arnold saves Zendaya from some thugs and stumbles upon a drive that contains an authority file that has access to a forgotten crypto asset since 2010. But what happens when Arnold gets to understand that the crypto asset that changed his future was the same reason his father left and his best friend was not just his best friend all along? This is the story of a man who rose not for revenge but to protect the people he loves, and to ensure no one would ever threaten them again.

​"The debt was paid in blood two centuries ago. Now, the interest is due." ​Tobias “Theo” Eaton is a ghost in a bespoke suit. Once a Prince of the United Kingdom and third in line to the throne, he abandoned his birthright at eighteen to become "Four"—an elite black-ops operative for the SAS. For twelve years, he has moved through a world of shades, processing grief as data and human connection as a tactical liability. He is a man waiting to die, haunted by a 200-year-old blood feud between the House of Windsor and a shadowy cabal known as The Order of Reckoning. ​Teresa Agnes is a woman fueled by a different kind of haunting. The billionaire CEO of a global investment empire, she has spent the year following her father’s suspicious death transforming herself into a weapon of investigation. When her path collides with Theo’s in the rain-slicked alleys of Singapore, she doesn't see a Prince or a killer—she sees a man hiding behind a wall of clinical detachment. ​Forced into a wary partnership, they embark on a global chase from the neon corridors of Tokyo to the high-stakes auction houses of Paris and the corporate towers of Manhattan. As they peel back the layers of a conspiracy that threatens to topple the British Monarchy, Theo’s emotional armor begins to crack. For the first time in a decade, he isn't just surviving; he is beginning to live. ​But in the world of the Reckoning, hope is the most dangerous variable of all. ​As The Windsor Protocol—a coordinated strike to eliminate the royal bloodline—nears its execution on Valentine's Day, the duo realizes the enemy isn't just an organization, but a historical grievance that cannot be reasoned with. Lord Edmund Ashford, a father figure turned Judas, demands a final price for the sins of the past: a life for a life. ​In a climactic confrontation at the Tower of London, the cold mathematics of Theo’s world are upended. Faced with an impossible choice between duty and devotion, it is Teresa who makes the ultimate executive decision. She chooses a sacrifice that saves a city and a dynasty, but leaves Theo in a world more silent and grey than the one he started in. ​The Reckoning is a melancholic spy thriller about the heavy cost of legacy and the tragedy of a love found just in time to be lost. It is a story of dusk, dawn, and the long, cold shadows in between.

Kang Hyunwoo was supposed to wake up to another exhausting day of work. Instead, he woke up to a world that had already changed. Five years ago, Earth experienced the First Awakening—an event that shattered reality itself. Mana flooded the planet. Qi resurfaced. Aura awakened within warriors. Dimensional Gates opened across the globe, bringing monsters, ancient ruins, and races once thought possible only in fantasy. Humanity adapted. Magitech replaced modern infrastructure. Guilds rose to power. Dragons entered diplomatic relations. Elves, dwarves, beastkin, and countless other races integrated into society. Awakening became normal. But Kang Hyunwoo remembers none of it. To him, yesterday was an ordinary night shift in a normal world.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
