Bryson POV Blackridge University was already a nightmare before I dumped hot coffee all over Julian Hayes. He's tall, built, with this perfect smirk that makes me want to punch him. Captain of the hockey team and the biggest asshole I've ever met. He destroyed me in front of everyone. Made sure I knew exactly where I stood. But then I joined the hockey team to make my mom happy, and suddenly everything changed. I could actually play. And Julian? He started looking at me like he wanted to destroy me in a whole different way. Now every practice feels like war. Every time we're alone in the locker room, I can barely breathe. I hate him. I want him. And I'm pretty sure he knows it. Julian's POV I run Blackridge University. Team captain, golden boy, everyone wants to be me or be with me. Then some transfer kid crashes into me and ruins my shirt. Bryson Miller. Smart mouth, cheap clothes, and eyes that look at me like he's not impressed. I should've crushed him and moved on. But the little shit joined my hockey team and turned out to be good. Really good. Now I can't get him out of my head. Every practice, every fight we have feels like something else entirely. Something I don't want to think about. I thought that was complicated enough. Then I walk into my house tonight and find Bryson unpacking boxes in my living room..

In a world where bloodlines define worth and females are banned from racing, seventeen-year-old Elionna “Leo” Reyes lives a double life. By day, she’s the daughter of a disgraced beta. By night, she’s the anonymous street legend known only as Shade Wolf, Redline’s fastest and most feared racer. But when the Trials return, Leo enters the elite competition to challenge more than the track. She wants justice, revenge… and freedom. Then she meets Ash Carver, the alpha heir, her fiercest rival, and the boy she unknowingly saved years ago. He’s next in line to become the Council’s weapon. But as buried truths and ancient bloodlines come to light, Leo and Ash find themselves at the center of a rebellion that could either shatter the system, or spark a revolution that rewrites everything.

Aire was a survivor—until the person she trusted most turned her into a memory. Betrayed and left for dead in the cold shadows of the city’s underworld, Aire’s story should have ended there. Instead, she wakes up years later in a world that has moved on without her. With her memories returning in jagged, painful flashes, Aire realizes she’s been given the ultimate second chance. But the streets are meaner now, and her killer, Trevon, is sitting on the throne she helped him build. To take him down, she’ll have to navigate a landscape of shadows and secrets, catching the eye of Dee—a hood billionaire whose heart is as cold as the diamond district he runs. Dee doesn't do love, and Aire doesn't do trust. But as their worlds collide, they realize that in a city built on lies, their fire might be the only thing that's real. This time, Aire isn’t just playing the game—she’s rewriting the rules.

They’ve hated each other forever. Top grades? They fight for it. School captain? They both ran—then sabotaged each other. Even the last drink at the vending machine turns into war. They argue like it’s a sport. Compete like it’s life or death. Fists have flown. So have insults. Everyone knows: they can’t stand each other. But then—one night, her phone buzzes. A message. From him. Weird. They don’t text. Not unless it’s to throw shade. She opens it… and nearly drops her phone. It’s him. Shirtless. Smirking. Sweaty. The lighting is low, his eyes unreadable. Not a word, just a photo. Not a joke. Not a dare. And for the first time in years… She doesn’t know if this is war or something much, much worse.

"Dari mana?" tanya Gana. "Kamar mandi. Habis cuci muka dan gosok gigi" jawab Sera. "Berarti sudah nggak rasa mangga" ucap Gana. Sera membelalak, menatap cermin, semakin malu melihat wajahnya sendiri. "Ngeselin ih. Udah dibilangin jangan diperjelas" sungut Sera. "Nggak ada. Tadi kamu cuma bilang jangan diperjelas kalau mau minta ciuman" balas Gana. "Ah males" ucap Sera, menelungkupkan ponselnya. Layar Gana menghitam jadinya. Pria itu tertawa terbahak-bahak. Gana night mode, on. "Maaf, saya tidak bahas lagi. Mana wajahnya, Sera?" ucap Gana saat tawanya sudah reda dan tampilan ponselnya tidak kunjung berubah. "Kalau begitu lagi, nggak mau call" Sera mengancam. "Iya. Wajahnya dulu, mana" tagih Gana.

Di Benua Tianxing, kekuatan adalah segalanya. Yang lemah diinjak, yang kuat berkuasa. Seorang pemuda biasa membawa Api Langit di dalam tubuhnya. Dikhianati, diremehkan, dan hampir dimusnahkan, ia memilih melawan takdir. Menginjak lautan, menghancurkan gunung, menantang para jenius dan dewa. Yang patuh akan hidup, yang menghalangi akan musnah. Di antara langit dan bumi, hanya satu nama yang layak disebut penguasa.

Adrian, seorang spy dari AEGIS, dipercaya untuk menumpas The Serpent's Coil, sindikat narkoba paling berbahaya di kota, yang dipimpin oleh Nikolai Petrov yang cerdik dan kejam. Dalam misi penyamarannya yang berisiko tinggi untuk menyusup ke organisasi tersebut, Adrian tak sengaja bertemu dengan Sienna, seorang gadis muda lugu yang terjebak dalam lingkaran pengedaran narkoba sebagai kurir. Tertarik oleh kepolosan Sienna di tengah dunia kegelapan, Adrian mengambil keputusan drastis: ia "membeli" Sienna dari The Serpent's Coil dengan harga yang fantastis, berpura-pura menjadikannya aset pribadi untuk mendapatkan kepercayaan Petrov. Namun, garis tipis antara misi dan emosi mulai kabur. "Kau taklukkan dunia dan aku menaklukkan dirimu." Kalimat itu berbisik dalam benaknya, memicu pertanyaan: akankah Adrian mampu menghancurkan The Serpent's Coil tanpa mengorbankan hati dan misinya, ataukah ia akan terjerat dalam pelukan mematikan sang ular, bersama dengan gadis yang ingin ia selamatkan?
