Dale was left on convent steps with nothing but a name. He learned to be invisible-because survival demanded it. Min-shin was born with everything. Good looks. Popularity. The kind of attention most kids only dream of. But the one person who refused to look at him? That drove him mad. Jin inherited an empire built on cold calculations. He was taught that friends are weaknesses. Then he found a dusty stockroom. Red bean buns. And a boy who asked for nothing. One of them will burn too bright. One will disappear. And one will learn that protecting the people you love sometimes means letting them go. Spanning twenty years and two continents. Marked by a fire that leaves no one untouched-and a question none of them can outrun: What are you worth when the world isn't watching?

When Pravit Khankaew was twenty-three years old, he drove too fast on a wet road in Chiang Mai and killed a seven year old boy named Korn. He never forgot it. Neither did Korn's family. Twenty years later, Pravit walks into his eldest daughter's London flat on her twentieth birthday with a bakery bag and a confession that rewires her entire life. His debt to the Pornprasert family is due. And the payment, whether Namtan likes it or not, is her. Namtan Khankaew is broad-shouldered, brilliant, and completely blindsided. She is an architecture student who builds things carefully and trusts almost nobody. She did not ask to be handed to a stranger as settlement for an accident she wasn't alive for. Film Pornprasert is soft-faced, devastating, and furiously against every part of this arrangement. She is a medical student who fixes broken things for a living. She did not ask to be handed to a stranger either. She was already in love with someone else quietly, privately, in the way that costs everything when it ends. They are twenty years old. They are strangers. They are now, legally, each other's problem. What follows is not a fairytale. It is something messier and more honest than that two girls navigating a marriage built from guilt, learning each other in the spaces between resentment and reluctant admiration, falling apart and toward each other in the specific way of people who were handed the wrong inheritance and somehow made it into a home. Narrated by Airwin Buakaew Pornprasert household maid, fifty-three years old, employed since 1994, and absolutely nobody's fool.

Some people leave because staying would have required more than they had left to give. Some people let them go for the same reason. Three years is enough time to build something - a career, a life, a version of yourself that does not need what it used to need. Roux Calloway has done all three. Jeon Sewon has done none. When a development contract brings her back into his orbit - not by accident, though it will take her the better part of a year to understand the full architecture of the collision - Roux finds herself navigating a world that has never wanted her in it. Not the project. Not the professional table. The world behind his name: the family, the legacy, the machinery of expectation that a man like Sewon carries without always acknowledging how much of it he wears. This is not a love story that forgives easily or arrives without cost. It is built from what two people owe each other when they have already failed once - not absolution, not a clean return to something, but the harder work of deciding whether the thing between them is worth the fight it will take to protect it from the people who have already decided it is not. Roux does not disappear. Sewon does not hide. And the city of Chicago, cold and loud and indifferent, holds the space between them while they figure out what it means to choose each other for the first time - the right way.

In a world of superheroes, public outcry from the recent tragic death of a teenage vigilante has resulted in the creation of a government-run program to train underage aged superheroes, Chiron Academy. If you're a minor with any sort of superhero aspiration, this stands as an ultimatum: you must participate, regardless of previous experience, training or mentoring. If you don't, you're done. This has seventeen-year-old Wyatt Hatch, a.k.a. Flyerman, a superhero with years of experience, counting the days until his 18th birthday and his inexperienced know-it-all teammates are not helping matters. ------- "This is such bullcrap. Unadulterated bullcrap," seethed Wyatt as he paced back and forth, more out of a desire to move than a conscious choice. "I can't believe we're being forced to be here. Literally the second I turn 18, I'm gone." He and Todd stood on a top of some high rise building Todd had found during a quick search on google maps. Something high enough that they wouldn't be overheard but not too tall. After a few stories, Todd always got nervous. "I mean," Wyatt continued to vent," at least your squad seems cool. You've got the Grey Ghoul's sidekick, for crying out loud. Meanwhile, I'm stuck with the squad that is so by the book, they stopped as we were leaving the campus today to check the dumb Hero's Handbook they gave us to make sure we were leaving correctly. It's called leaving a building. You've been doing it your whole life!" ------- #3 in science fiction 4/5/19! #2 in action 2/15/21 (pronounced 'kai-ron'. I googled it.)

Not being loved back was.

Sera has a system for everything - her thesis, her mornings, her feelings. Neat categories, correct conclusions. It has worked perfectly for twenty-two years. Then she meets Professor Elena Reyes. Elena is brilliant, composed, and exactly the kind of person Sera should not find herself thinking about at two in the morning. She is also religious, careful, and very good at performing a life she has almost convinced herself she wants. They are a graduating student and her thesis adviser at a university in Manila. They are nothing. They should remain nothing. But Sera, who has never had trouble naming things, finds she cannot name this - and Elena, who prays every night for clarity, finds that her prayers keep going quiet before she reaches the part about Sera. In the Silence Between is a story about two women in a country where some things are still spoken only in silence. About faith that costs something. About a choice that neither of them can quite bring themselves to make - and the question, at the end, that only one of them is brave enough to ask.

"Who are you?" she asked me exasperated. Her breath uneven, features frustrated. You know me I want to say, I don't reply. I watch her. "Where the hell did you come from?" she staggers in her steps.
