Raga cuma pengen satu hal: viral. Tapi tiap kali dia nyalain kamera, yang keluar justru asap dapur, lemparan penghapus, tahu isi yang dingin, dan status meme internal grup kelas. Novel ini nge-follow Raga — murid kelas sebelas SMA Swasta Cendana yang yakin suatu hari bakal dapet 10 ribu follower, padahal follower-nya baru 1.200 (delapan di antaranya ibu-ibu arisan ibunya). Dari konten sarapan yang gosong, seragam murah yang dipaksa keliatan mahal, sampai review jajanan depan sekolah yang ketahuan copas dari Google Maps — Raga terus aja bikin rencana yang gagal dengan cara yang bikin lo geleng-geleng. Lewat 25 catatan harian yang jujur dan receh, kita liat Raga nyoba segala cara: live TikTok yang viewer-nya cuma ibu dan temennya Sandi, hari tanpa HP yang gagal jam sembilan pagi, merch murahan yang gak ada yang beli, sampai video lamanya yang tiba-tiba viral jadi meme legenda. Dia suka sama Sisca tapi gak berani nyapa. Dia bentrok sama ortu soal "main HP terus". Dia diundang talk show sekolah dan panik karena gak tau mau omong apa. Tapi justru di kegagalan itulah Raga jadi relate. Karena jujur aja, kita juga sering salah tebak. Ini bukan cerita anak pinter yang sukses. Ini cerita anak biasa yang berani tunjukin kalau hidupnya berantakan, terus ketawa sendiri pas liat semuanya ngepul nggak jelas. Di akhir, follower-nya naik dari 1.200 jadi 12.000 — tapi dia tetep Raga: anak sebelah yang mungkin lo kenal, atau mungkin lo sendiri.

Detective Jonah Reeve has been sober for eighteen months and wrong for most of his career. The Wexler case taught him that closing a case and solving one are not the same thing — a fact he'd prefer to keep buried. Then Marcus Pell falls from his own half-built development, and in his hand is a torn page from a safety report dated fourteen years dead. A report that was supposed to have disappeared. Reeve thinks it's one death. It isn't. Each time he gets close, the killer leaves another clue — not planted, not showy, just there, the way real evidence is: in a burned desk, a stolen folder, a name circled on a vote record. Every answer points to the next body. Every body points to a secret Lansford buried a long time ago, under concrete and a mayor's smile. A quiet archivist named Theo Brandt keeps showing up with the right file at the wrong moment. He says he only reads what the city threw away. Reeve isn't sure that's the whole truth. As the chain pulls tighter, Reeve starts to see the shape underneath: fourteen children, one fire, and a handful of people who decided a report was better lost than read. Someone has been waiting fifteen years to make them read it. The question isn't who's killing them. It's why the clues always lead one step further than the body. *The Halcyon Chain is a fair-play mystery where every answer breeds a more dangerous question — and the last door was drawn by a child who never got out.

Rai, a twelve-year-old orphan, has only one keepsake from his missing father: a worn piece of paper that reads, "Seek the Moonlight. There you will find your answer." With no idea who his father is or where to look, Rai leaves behind the only home he has ever known and sets out on a journey to find the truth. His quest leads him to the Moonlight Academy — a hidden school of sorcery tucked deep within an ancient forest. There, Rai discovers that his father was a legendary sorcerer who vanished during a mission to the Crimson Desert eight years ago. Alongside Nara, a sharp and brave fellow student, and Dante, an arrogant rival who carries a painful secret of his own, Rai must master powerful sorcery in a race against time. But a far greater mystery awaits. The Starlight — an ancient source of power lost for centuries — has been living inside Rai since the day he was born, planted there by his father himself. To bring his father home, Rai must brave the Crimson Desert, survive three deadly trials, and understand the true meaning of the power within him. When the moment finally comes, Rai learns that being a hero is not about sacrifice — it is about giving with a sincere heart.
