In the frozen reaches of the North, Astrid Egildottir of Vinterhall was raised to inherit more than a name. As heir to an ancient bloodline and the only daughter among eight brothers, she bore the weight of tradition, politics, and expectation. Bound by her grandfather’s will to marry Prince Leif of Verdelund, Astrid’s life was set to become a bridge between north and south—whether she wished it or not. But when the Verdelunds reveal themselves as vampires, the Winter Hall becomes a slaughterhouse. In one night, Astrid loses everything—her family, her shieldguard, her home. Betrayed and cornered, she is bitten by Leif and, in the same moment, attacked by a hidden Child of the Moon. The venom and the virus should have destroyed her. Instead, they awaken what lies dormant in her blood: the touch of the goddess Freyja. Reforged in agony and reborn beneath a violet full moon, Astrid rises as something new—neither vampire nor werewolf, but a hybrid bound by divine spark. She alone survives the massacre of Vinterhall, cursed with power, sharpened by grief, and carrying the ashes of her family on her shoulders. Now, the last daughter of a fallen house must carve her path through a world that will see her as monster, miracle, or weapon. The Hunters would see her destroyed. The Children of the Moon would see her as blasphemy. And the southern kingdoms will not suffer the North’s heir to live, not after the blood debt left in her wake. Astrid Vinterhall walks alone—haunted, hunted, and remade. But she is not broken. The purple moon has marked her, and the world will learn what it means to stand against the last of Vinterhall.

João da Silva sempre se viu como alguém medíocre, até que Isabel Braga — uma jovem neurodivergente — atravessa sua rotina pacata com ações inesperadas, tão constrangedoras quanto engraçadas. Entre mal-entendidos e instantes sutis de ternura, os dois lentamente constroem uma conexão intensa. Uma história sobre duas pessoas aceitando a si mesmas por meio do olhar uma da outra: Isabel, ao encontrar alguém que não a cobra para que ela seja diferente, porque a ama do jeito que ela é; e João, ao entender que não é necessário ser visto ou se sentir como alguém único, ao encontrar uma pessoa que o enxergue entre todos como o mais especial.

Norah Draven was once a sweet, naive sixteen-year-old girl who believed in love, until it destroyed her. Betrayed by Jacob Everson, the man who stole her innocence and abandoned her when she needed him most, she was cast out by her family and left to fend for herself on the streets. Just as the darkness threatened to consume her, a stranger, Alan Bravestone, became her unlikely savior. With nothing left in Clarington, she fled, vowing never to return. Now, at twenty-seven, Norah is unrecognizable. Cold, enigmatic, and ruthless, she has built a legendary reputation as the continent’s most feared and undefeated lawyer. She has no weaknesses, except for the daughter she raised alone. When fate brings her back to Eldoria for a high-profile case, she has no idea that the man she’s been hired to defend is none other than Jacob Everson, the same man who shattered her world a decade ago. But Jacob is no longer the careless, arrogant playboy he once was. Now a powerful multimillionaire and fashion mogul, he has built his own empire—m, only to watch it crumble when his wife, Neila, betrays him in the most brutal way possible. Accused of a crime that could destroy him, Jacob needs the best defense money can buy. Norah wants nothing more than to walk away, to let him suffer as she once did. But when she finds him beaten, bloodied, and broken in his own mansion, something inside her hesitates. Justice. Revenge. Closure. Maybe this is her chance to make him pay. But as shadows from the past resurface, secrets unravel, and dangerous truths come to light, Norah realizes this case is far more than a legal battle—it’s a game of power, deception, and unfinished passion. And this time, she holds all the cards. Will she fight for justice… or for revenge?
