As attraction ignites and loyalties shift, Alina must awaken her dormant magic before the King of the underworld breaks through the Veil. In a world where love is weaponized, magic is feared, and betrayal runs bone-deep, can two enemies become the key to peace—or will their bond doom both worlds?

Elowen Marsh gave the Vale family everything: her money, her time, her strength. When the sky went black, they locked her out of the shelter she helped fill, and she died alone in the ash. Now she wakes ninety days before the dark, with a brass key mark on her wrist, a secret space only she can enter, and the inheritance her mother-in-law hid for years. She signs the divorce papers, packs one suitcase, and walks away dry-eyed. Everyone says she has lost her mind. Then, on day ninety, the sky goes dark at the exact minute she said it would. But this end of the world is bigger than the last. A sickness is hiding in the ash, one that did not exist until after she died. To survive, Elowen must grow stronger in body, wealth, power, and heart, and answer a harder question: can a woman who died trusting the wrong people ever trust again? Beside her stands Lucan Draycott, calm, dangerous, and certain she is hiding something. He still turns his back to her in a fight.

I died on my wedding night, locked outside my own gates, watching my fiancé marry my stepsister while the world burned. Then I woke up. Three months earlier. Before the wedding. Before the outbreak that would tear my city apart. Before I ever trusted either of them. This time I remember everything — the date the collapse begins, the people who let me die, and the secrets my stepsister is willing to bury an audit to protect. I have three months to turn foreknowledge into power, expose the betrayal before it happens again, and survive what's coming. But I'm not the only one who saw this future coming. Damian Vale has been preparing for months, for reasons he won't explain, and every move he makes lands one step ahead of mine. I don't know if he's the one person I can trust with what I know, or the most dangerous secret I haven't uncovered yet.

They called me barren, they called me useless. They spent my money while my husband slept with another woman. I spent seven years paying the Voss family’s debts, saving my husband’s company, caring for his parents, and begging my husband to look at me like a wife again. Instead, Darian gave his mistress the child he claimed I could never give him. When the apocalypse came, I thought my husband would protect me but I was wrong. His family locked me outside their shelter while the infected tore through the streets. When they finally dragged me inside, it wasn’t to save me. They were hungry and I became their food. I died listening to my husband’s mistress crying over the child growing inside her. Then I opened my eyes. Seventy-three days before the apocalypse. This time, I knew exactly what was coming. I knew which investments would explode. I knew where the safest land was. I knew which supplies would disappear first. And I knew exactly how my husband and his family would die. I stopped paying their debts. I took back my money. I bought the property they would one day beg to enter. And when Kaeldric Vane—the cold, ruthless man my husband had always feared—offered me his protection, I accepted. Because this time, I wasn’t going to die trying to prove I was family. I was going to survive long enough to watch them beg.

On my wedding day, the sky turned blood-red. Fire started falling. People screamed. And while I begged my new husband to open the church doors, Emeric looked me straight in the eyes and said the shelter he'd built could only hold two people. Him and my sister. Then he told me the truth. They'd been lovers for years. They had a child. And I had been nothing but the stupid bitch he needed to marry before the world ended. He locked the door. I died screaming his name. Then I opened my eyes. Ten days earlier. My wedding dress was still hanging in the closet. My sister was still smiling at me. My fiancé was still pretending to love me. And something called a System was counting down inside my head. 10 DAYS UNTIL DOOMSDAY. So I did something my old self was too stupid to do. I stopped trusting everyone. I canceled the wedding. I stole the money they thought belonged to them. I found the forgotten bunker my family didn't even remember owning. And I found the one man who'd been screaming for years that the apocalypse was coming. And now that I'm alive again... they know I've changed the future. This time, I won't die for my husband. I'll watch him beg for the door to open.

"Did you really think a fat, dying human could ever truly be my Luna?”, the words I never expected from Jacob, my bond mate came out with no remorse I gave that man everything. My body. My loyalty. My son. My Health. And when his fated mate walked in, he chose her — then watched Lucy kill my child before he finished what she started. I died hating them both. I woke up as someone else. My name was Rachel Black. Now I'm wearing Danielle Carmen's face, sleeping in her bed, married to a man who never wanted me — Jackson, obligated to me by a mother who's been pulling his strings since birth. I don't remember Danielle's life. But I remember someone tried to end it before I got here. So I'll use what she left me. Her body. Her history with Jacob. Her enemies, who I'm about to make my own. I'll burn Jacob's reputation with the truth of what he did with me. I'll bury the mistresses circling Jackson's inheritance one by one — until I find out how deep this family's rot really goes, and who I have to become to survive it. I'm not the woman who begged for love anymore. I'm patient now. Careful. Ruthless when I need to be. But every enemy I destroy costs me an ally. And when the people I trusted turn their backs on me at once, I'll have nothing left but an old blood ritual, my son's memory, and one last war to fight — not for my crown, but so no one else pays what I paid.

In her past life, Evelyn was betrayed, bled dry, and left to freeze by her own family and unfaithful fiancé when the global catastrophic freeze struck. But instead of dying in the snow, she wakes up 90 days before Day Zero—armed with her memories, a clear timeline of the apocalypse, and an spatial vault system to hoard critical resources. ​While the rest of the world squanders its final peaceful summer, Evelyn liquidated every asset, cut ties with her toxic family, and built an impenetrable underground fortress. She isn't just preparing to survive the coming collapse; she is laying out precision traps for everyone who destroyed her in her past life. ​When her former fiancé attempts to claim her safehaven as society falls apart, he finds out too late: Evelyn didn't just hoard food and weapons—she bought up every piece of leverage to make their lives a living hell before the world even freezes.

Shantali Jackson awakens from cryostasis to discover she's been asleep for over 600 years. A working-class woman from the pre-collapse era, she finds herself in a sterile medical facility, where staff address her as royalty and claim she's the beloved of Prince Costa—a man she barely remembers meeting at Le Glow Club one fateful night. As fragmented memories surface, Shantali learns the devastating truth: she and Costa were never willing participants in the preservation program. After publicly defying their arranged marriages to choose each other, they were declared enemies of the state and forcibly preserved by the Emergency Preservation Committee. They've been awakened seventeen times for six centuries, only to have their memories wiped when they refused to comply with the Council's genetic breeding program. This time is different—the memory suppression technology is failing, and ghostly echowisps (manifestations of psychic trauma) guide them through their escape. With the help of Marcus, a resistance member, they flee to the underground networks where Shantali discovers shocking truths: her half-brother Elliot became a resistance leader, Costa's parents have been working to undermine the Council for centuries, and the outside world has been habitable for generations. The couple escapes to Haven's Gate, one of seven thriving Eastern Sanctuaries where humanity has rebuilt naturally. But freedom is short-lived when they learn Dr. Thorne and other preservation specialists are using extracted consciousness data to create a new form of control—artificial minds programmed for obedience. Refusing to remain passive victims, Shantali and Costa make a bold choice: they'll pose as desperate refugees seeking re-preservation, walking willingly into Dr. Thorne's trap to stop his plans once and for all. Their love story becomes humanity's last hope against a system that would sacrifice free will for genetic perfection. A tale of choice, resistance, and the power of love.

Earth was butchered, wrecked, and scared long before I was born. According to the legends, humans ruin began when the Viatores came into existence in the human world. Viatores are banished creatures from an alternate universe, weaklings who couldn't save their own world and as welcoming as humans are, we accepted them. Redemption, that was what they seeked here on earth but those backstabbing asswipes had other plans. A tyrant, a bastard, known as Nicholas Sylvester led the war. The Changeling. The human rulers had no chance. We were his little project to enslave. He and his seven Lords claimed all continents. On my eighteenth birthday, I was gifted to the King of all Benders: one whom no human dared look at, trembles at his presence. However, in this game of heart and truth, fate has its plan hidden.

I’m trained to do one thing: kill. I was put into a school where the concepts of love and forgiveness were treated as weaknesses. When I graduated, they told me I’d be lucky to survive; now I’m the best of the best and the person who gets the job done no matter what. I’ve assassinated Presidents, housewives, Navy SEALS and more shifters than I can count. I have more kills than anyone in my business, so when a new order comes in to kill Alpha Gideon, I take it without a second thought. ​He’s a job like any other, but during my scouting, I see something I’ve never seen before. Alpha Gideon isn’t a tyrant or a bully; he’s kind to his Pack. I start asking questions, which is when everything goes to shit. My signal is found, and for the first time in my life, my target has me in his sights. I expect pain and maybe even death, but Alpha Gideon treats me like a welcomed guest; his warmth and kindness open up something inside of me that I didn’t know I had. I should kill him before he changes me completely. I tell him I’m cold and heartless, and he laughs. Loving a mark has never been done, but no matter what I do, every touch sets me on fire and with each longing glance, my past becomes a distant memory. I’m ready to put everything I was aside to stay with Alpha Gideon when the call comes in; my fellow assassins have been called. The bounty on Alpha Gideon has been doubled. I have two choices: protect the man who has opened up my heart or kill the target and get the job done.
