Medieval Sci Fi

"kalau tahun ini aku masih gak lulus tes cpns juga, akan aku nikahi pera2an tua fi desa ini!" Glagar ... Bersamaan dengan ucapan yang Ahmad ucapakan, tiba-tiba suara petir menggema keseluruh ruangan. Seolah Alam telah mencatat apa yang ia ucapkan. "Kamu teh Mad, kalau ngomong jangan sembarangan di catat malaikat loh itu. Jatuhnya nadzar, bapak gak tanggung jawab ya" ucap bapak menasehati. "Yang benar saja atuh mad, kamu mau menikahi juragan Jingga? Anaknya almarhumah mpok alfa itu? Sudah taukan rumornya? Emak gak tanggung jawab juga ya Mad!" Ahmad, seorang pria sederhana yang sudah berkali-kali gagal dalam tes CPNS merasa begitu prustasi dan terdesak saat nadzar yang ia lontarkan waktu itu ternyata membawa takdirnya pada perempuan bernama Jingga. Perempuan yang terkenal dengan sebutan perawan tua dengan julukan juragan Jingga dengan harta kekayaan yang melimpah dengan memiliki lima puluh ekor sapi, lima puluh ekor domba serta lima ratus ekor kelinci namun dibalik kekayaannya, banyak rumor yang beredan jika ketidaklakuannya sebagai seorang gadis dikarenakan aroma tubuhnya yang tidak sedap. Banyak lelaki yang menjauhinya, tapi kini Ahmad harus menghadapi kenyataan pahit akibat ulahnya sendiri. Akankan ahmad mampu bertahan dengan Jingga atau rumah tangganya tidak akan bertahan lama gara-gara rumor tersebut?

Before our wedding, my fiancée, Sarah Hargrave—a professor of medieval history—held a private ceremony in a secluded chapel in the countryside. But not with me. Under the glow of candlelight, she cradled Benjamin Wheeler—her first love, his face gaunt from the cancer consuming him—in her arms. Her smile was soft, almost reverent, as she murmured, "In the eyes of God, vows made before the altar are the only ones that matter. Even if the law says I belong to Daniel, my soul was never his." And so, to the faint echo of hymns and the scent of old incense, they drank from the same silver cup, exchanged rings, and stepped together into the dimly lit sacristy—their makeshift bridal chamber. I watched. Silent. Motionless. No outbursts, no demands for explanation. Just the quiet dialing of a clinic to undo the vasectomy I'd gotten for our future. From fifteen to thirty, I had loved Sarah for fifteen long years. But in all that time, there'd never been room for me. That space had always belonged to Benjamin, my stepbrother. So I let her go. Afterward, I joined a geological research team bound for the isolation of Antarctica—a land cut off from the world, quiet and clean. Before I left, I handed Sarah a divorce agreement…and a final gift to mark the end. I never anticipated that Sarah, who'd always met my devotion with frosty detachment, who'd never once glanced back as I walked away, would look ten years older overnight.

Habituée aux jeux de regards et aux plaisirs furtifs, elle pensait pouvoir maîtriser toutes les turbulences. Jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit affectée à une nouvelle rotation long-courrier sous les ordres du commandant Nolan Elven . charismatique, froid, terriblement attirant. Entre eux, la tension est immédiate.

Dans une ville où chaque regard peut trahir et chaque alliance dissimule une guerre, Cassandra est au cœur d’un jeu dangereux. Belle, fière et farouchement libre, elle devient le trophée convoité d’un monde où le pouvoir s’obtient à coups de passions dévorantes et de serments brisés. Quatre hommes. Quatre tempêtes. Adrien, son fiancé, héritier d’un empire familial, l’aime jusqu’à l’obsession et la veut soumise à son nom, à sa loi.

Pris au piège entre les désirs qui l’assaillent et les chaînes qu’on lui impose, Cassandra tente de reprendre le contrôle.

"Il a touché mon corps comme un médecin. Mais j’ai senti son trouble, son hésitation. Ce frisson imperceptible qui a parcouru sa peau quand mes soupirs se sont mêlés à ses gestes. Sous ses mains expertes, j’ai senti mon corps trahir ma raison. Je suis sa patiente. Il est mon médecin. Peut-être que j’ai imaginé. Peut-être que j’ai rêvé. Ou peut-être que lui aussi, il est en train de céder." Dans le calme feutré de son cabinet, le docteur Adrien Morel vivait une vie parfaitement orchestrée, où tout était sous contrôle. Jusqu’à elle. Camille n’était pas comme ses autres patientes. Avec son regard lumineux et son sourire empreint de défi, elle apportait une chaleur inattendue dans son univers aseptisé. Ce qui devait être une simple consultation devint une série de rendez-vous où chaque échange les rapprochait un peu plus. Pourtant, entre eux se dressaient des barrières : son serment de médecin, son passé à elle, et des secrets qu’ils n’osaient partager. Mais parfois, le cœur décide pour nous. Et contre toute logique, leur rencontre allait tout bouleverser. Un amour interdit. Un lien inébranlable. Et des conséquences qu’aucun d’eux n’aurait pu imaginer

Three years after Alpha King Damien Caldwell marks me, Drake Whitaker finally remembers I exist. Turns out he really believes I'll "wait for him forever." Twenty black SUVs clog the private road into Ridgefield pack territory, trunks crammed with moonstone jewelry, old talismans, and rare herbs. Drake steps out of the tricked-out Hummer, wearing a smug smile and clutching a stack of parchment contracts. "Aria," he calls up, like some medieval knight, "I told you once the Silvermoon Coalition was official and Kenneth's supply lines were stable, I'd bring you to my pack. "The High Council finalized five packs yesterday. I came first thing this morning to show you I mean it." I sit in the upstairs study, watching a video Damien just sent of him playing with our son, then glance through the blinds at the ridiculous scene unfolding below. Drake lifts his face toward the second floor. "I know you're upset, but Kenneth controls the biggest timber in the Eastvale region. I had to mark Isabella. It was politics. You get that. Feelings don't need a mark anyway. I'll treat you better than a Luna." His words made my skin crawl. I pressed the intercom button on the desk. "Clear the drive. Tell security someone's trespassing." What a day! I've just taken my son to the medical center for his one-month checkup. Damien sends me back to Ridgefield pack for a week to rest. Instead, I get this mess on my doorstep.

Caitlin and Caleb find themselves, once again, back in time—this time, in the London of 1599.

London in 1599 is a wild place, filled with paradoxes: while on the one hand it is an incredibly enlightened, sophisticated time, breeding playwrights like Shakespeare, on the other, it is also barbaric and cruel, with daily public executions, torture, and heads of prisoners impaled on spikes. It is also a time of superstition and grave public danger, with a lack of sanitation, and the Bubonic Plague spreading in the streets, carried by rats.

In this environment Caitlin and Caleb land, on the search for her father, for the third key, for the mythical shield that can save humankind. Their mission takes them through a whirlwind of London’s most amazing medieval architecture, through the British countryside’s most breathtaking castles. It takes them back into the heart of London, where they just might meet Shakespeare himself, and see one of his plays live. It brings them to a little girl, Scarlet, who just might become their daughter. And all the while, Caitlin’s love for Caleb deepens, as finally they are together—and as Caleb might just finally find the perfect time, and place, to propose to her.

Sam and Polly have traveled back, too, and as they find themselves stuck together on their own journey, their relationship deepens, as they each, despite themselves, can’t help feeling more deeply for each other.

But all is not well. Kyle has come back, too, as has his evil sidekick, Sergei, and they are both intent on destroying everything good in Caitlin’s life. It will be a race to the finish, as Caitlin is forced to make some of the hardest decisions of her life if she is to save everyone who is dear to her, save her relationship with Caleb—and try to make it out alive.
