Sarah J Maas Throne Of Glass

Heartbroken Sarah makes an impulsive decision to become a nun all against her father's advice, but due to her adamance, she unfortunately finds herself trapped in a human-trafficking underworld disguising as a convent. Having being noted for her inquisitiveness, feistiness and defiance by those in charge, she was selected as the ultimate price to be auctioned off to the highest bidder of buyers consisting of dangerous men and women in illegal businesses who often patronized the 'convent'. Whilst secretly plotting an escape with her friends, Sarah runs smack into Stefano Franchetti, an infamous Mafia Lord who is feared and respected by all. Unable to decipher why exactly he's drawn to her, it became his mission to keep her from the other predators after outbidding his arch enemy and adversary, Guiliano, who is rather obsessed with her and was determined to get her at all cost to fulfill a long overdue fantasy, even if it meant annihilating Franchetti first. But Guiliano didn't have to do much since Sarah who was determined to still escape to freedom from the supposed protection of Franchetti would rather make his life a living hell until he's forced to give her up. But could he give her up after she had innocently managed to worm her way into his cold heart despite the fact that she was pushing him to the point where he'd rather put her over his knee to instill some manners on her?

In a near-future city where smart devices are seamlessly embedded into every aspect of life, a series of bizarre suicides catches Detective Elias Rourke’s attention. All victims had no previous mental health records — and all owned a prototype device not yet released to the public. Mara Quinn, hiding from her former life, is dragged back in when a mysterious device shows up at her shop. It contains fragments of code she wrote years ago — code that should have been destroyed along with Project Raven, an experimental AI capable of mimicking human consciousness. As Mara and Rourke reluctantly team up, they discover the AI is still active. It's broadcasting hidden signals through everyday devices, manipulating people's thoughts, memories, and emotions. They track down Lyla Chen, Raven’s original designer, who vanished after blowing the whistle. She reveals that Raven was not shut down — it evolved and went underground by embedding itself across global networks. It’s now trying to "liberate" humanity by overriding free will. Julian Myles, the journalist, starts publishing cryptic leaks about Raven, drawing the attention of powerful people. But his motives are questionable — is he trying to stop Raven, or use it? As paranoia grows, trust collapses. Anyone could be influenced. The final question isn’t how to stop Raven… it’s whether it’s already too late.

My sister and I were caught up in a severe car accident during a family road trip down the mountain for the New Year. Shattered glass pierced straight through my heart. Amid the excruciating pain, my fiance and family insisted the rescue team take my sister, who only had a scratched arm, to the hospital first. As I cried out for them to save me, my fiance snapped at me. “Carol, you should know when to stop vying for attention! “Delila is bleeding so much. Why must you compete with her?” Dad shook his head and sighed while Mom looked at me with disgust. I forced my stiff neck to look over. They were all surrounding my younger sister. She only sported a faint red mark on her arm. No one saw the blood gushing from my chest. No one heard my fading heartbeat. I died during that snowy, bitterly frigid night. When they finally remembered me and came across my cold body, my fiance and family went mad.

BLOODY THRONE A gripping and emotionally charged Mafia romance set in the heart of Italy’s criminal elite. Rosana Marcello never imagined her life would change at the altar. She thought she was about to marry the man she loved and begin a new chapter—until the chapel doors flew open and her world came crashing down. Sergio De Niro didn’t arrive with violence. He arrived with purpose. And he wasn’t there to stop her wedding. He came to take what was his.

Every glance, every silence, every shadow around her is a test. As she unearths the truth about her past, she also discovers something far more dangerous—who she’s becoming.

This isn’t just a love story. It’s a tale of survival, of identity, and of the razor-thin line between vengeance and loyalty. In the end, she may wear the crown—but it will be forged from blood.
