Sinossi

We all wear masks constructed of lies. All are different and have different goals—there are those that simulate feelings and there are those that simulate people. Ansel Falconer wears a much more elaborate mask than most people. Not just a mask, but also a crown. Addicted to power, he uses his persuasion to dominate his school, devising subtle lies to force his peers to worship him. All this to fill that void that screams in his chest, the inability to love — or feel good — for anyone other than himself. When Ansel meets Gabriel, he sees the same emptiness in his eyes. But deep in the shadows, there is something. The desperation of the women Gabriel had killed at his pleasure. Ansel clearly sees the monster behind his cracked mask.

The Devereax family can be defined as dysfunctional. Smart but sour Will leaves Tasmania, memories of his dead father - the only person who could fully understand him until then - his mother and sister to study medicine in Manchester City. There, he gets involved with the Brazilian bisexual Leonardo, a young psychology student interested in pleasurable experiences and in fixing broken beautiful things that usually don't have a fix. Meanwhile, Will's mother, Celine, falls into a spiral of depression, which is nothing more than a domino effect caused by the death of her husband. Lucy, always her older brother's shadow, harbors a certain anger at him — Will tends to be his mother's smartest, prettiest, and favorite. A set of tales, each narrated by a different character, with the intention of exposing the different layers of the human being when faced with different situations, and how people can change according to the point of view of the narrator. .

Yi Jie was the genius of the Yi clan until he lost everything and became the fallen one. When an ambush and a beast attack leave him on the brink of death, a golden mark awakens on his forehead and an ancient seed pulses in his chest. Power, however, has a cruel price. Between a council that fears him, rival clans, some secrets, and a vast world to explore. Yi Jie must learn to control what awakens within him before it consumes him and before those around him decide what to do with him. A story about pain, memory, and the struggle not to forget who you are.

In the beginning of all things, before time was counted, the Void shaped the two fundamental forces of Erion: the Light of Nazari and the Shadow of Apolion. Decreed never to coexist in a single being, these forces collapsed when envy corrupted the darkness, spawning monsters and the Seven Deadly Sins. Eras later, when the fabric of the world threatens to give way, Elrick appears: a young man forged in pain and the assassin arts who breaks the most primordial rule of the cosmos. Mastering the four natural elements and uniting Light and Shadow, he discovers that his draconic blood and his destiny are intertwined with the supreme force of Creation: the legendary Seventh Element, the Void.

There is a kind of silence that weighs more than any war cry. It is the silence of the gap between the oaks across the frozen ground, the steam of a soup shared only with longing and the constant fear of waiting for someone who may never return. In Patavium, Aemilia became the lady of a home haunted by uncertainty. Torn between the relentless responsibility of governing the land and the intimate torment of not knowing her husband's fate, she refuses to succumb to despair. To protect the property and those who depend on it, Aemilia will have to find strength where only solitude remains, proving that dignity and love can be shields as sturdy as iron.

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again. Helena is in no hurry, nor is she afraid, and she does not let herself be swayed by pretty words. But every rose has its thorn. When two such different presences cross her path, she will discover that it is not possible to keep everything under control at all times. One calms, the other sets ablaze. One is shelter, the other is storm. For even the gentlest calm holds a flame, and within the storm itself there is already a harbinger of tranquility - each heart carries within itself both the flame and the breeze that can extinguish it. Be careful not to lose yourself. The labyrinth is yours, and only you will find the way out.

Some memories don't need a name to become impossible to forget. One night. Two strangers. No promises. Beatrice Cross never imagined she would run into the man who, for a few hours, made the world disappear. With no names or expectations, that night should have stayed in the past. Until she recognizes him. Ethan Harrington is everything she should avoid: arrogant, impeccable, and dangerously capable of awakening feelings she spent a year trying to forget. Now, however, there is an obstacle between them: Mark Sterling. The man Beatrice chose. The best friend Ethan never thought he would have to lie to. Between inevitable encounters, lingering glances, and a tension impossible to ignore, the attraction threatens to cross every boundary. Beatrice knows what she could lose. Ethan knows the weight of loyalty. And Mark trusts them both without imagining that the danger is closer than he could ever suspect. Because some choices don't just destroy relationships. They destroy everything you tried to protect. And sometimes, the cruelest lie is pretending nothing happened.
