"Our heart beats only with their permission." For as long as she can remember, the bookworm Synecdoche Rochet, 23, has lived a simple life in Maharlika Nation—hiding in the grasses and grains of District G to avoid the terrifying power of the Embassy and its ruthless Ambassador. In a dytopian world that is controlled and opressed, Synecdoche Rochet embarks on a mission to get back their rights on their district's valuable resources—the grains. When she discovered her intellectual ability, she found herself drawn to the charismatic Giovanni, the long-lost Ambassador's previleged son together with other intelligent students, Ulap, Token and Keithwarth. They found themselves being the tributes on the 2nd Maharlika Spelling TwistBee—trapped in the Word Arena. An annually commemorated survival game where each district will represent 1 letter in the Alphabet, spell the given English words not verbally, but by brutal killings of other competitors who have letter tattoos on their arms. The rules are to Spell and Kill. Within the killer's reach, the team-up of Synecdoche, Giovanni, Ulap, Token and Keithwarth isn't a coincidence, it's a conspiracy. What if Synecdoche's age will be reversed? Will they use their intelligence for vengeance? Will they compel love and trust to survive the battle royale? Is their life the price or the prize? "Even the shortest word has the longest meaning. Spell the words and kill with swords!"

Divided by blood and moonlight, one secret can ignite a war—and one girl can tear a kingdom apart. Kaelen, heir to Alpha King Thorin, has been raised to destroy vampires, not love one. Lyra of the Nightfall Court was trained to see werewolves as beasts, not destiny. Yet when they meet in secret, hatred turns into something dangerous, something neither of them can deny. But Lyra is not what she seems. When her coat tears during a public confrontation, a glowing werewolf mark is revealed on her shoulder..the crest of a high-ranked Alpha female. The truth shatters both kingdoms. Lyra is a hybrid. Her mother was a banished werewolf. Her father, a powerful vampire. Her identity was hidden, her wolf blood suppressed, forcing her to live as something incomplete. Now everything changes. The mark is drawn to strength...to the strongest Alpha in the pack. And it begins to react. Not only to Kaelen. But to Thorin. As tension between wolves and vampires explodes, a more dangerous conflict rises within the Den itself. The Alpha King feels the pull. Lyra feels it too. An attraction she cannot explain. A bond that challenges her love for Kaelen and threatens to fracture father and son. Is fate choosing the reigning Alpha? Or the heir destined to overthrow him? With war brewing, loyalties tested, and a forbidden bond caught between two bloodlines, Lyra becomes more than a symbol of peace....she becomes the prize in a deadly struggle. Love is forbidden.

"They called me a defect from the day I was born. No wolf, no scent, no future." That was the lie the Crescent Moon pack fed me my entire life. I was the dirt beneath their paws. The pack’s punching bag, an empty vessel, kept around only to scrub their floors. All I ever wanted was to survive my eighteenth birthday and vanish into the human world. But the Moon Goddess has a sick, twisted sense of humor. At the brutal Alpha Summit, the kind that happens once every decade, the scent hit me. It wasn't just one intoxicating wave of mate-pull. It was two. One smelled of pine and dark magic. The other smelled of blood and winter fire. Kael, Alpha of the Bloodhound Pack; ruthless, heavily scarred, and the most feared executioner on the continent. Ryker, Alpha of the Silvermane Pack; arrogant, indomitably powerful, and Kael’s sworn, centuries-old blood enemy. When both men roared "MINE" across the summit hall, the fragile peace treaty didn’t just break. It shattered. They don't want to share. They want to conquer. Now, the invisible nobody is the ultimate prize in a territorial war that will tear the shifter world apart. I am physically bound to two men who would rather burn the world to ash than let the other touch me. If I reject one, the mate-bond will kill him. If I choose both, the packs will riot. I just wanted to survive. But to stay alive, I might have to become the most dangerous Luna of them all.
