Clara, 28, has always had terrible luck during the holidays. Burnt cookies, awkward encounters, and ruined Christmases are her trademark. Fed up with her unlucky streak, she escapes the city for a small, picturesque town called Everpine, famous for its charming holiday festivals, twinkling lights, and snow-dusted streets.On her first morning in town, Clara finds a small, mysterious package outside her cabin. Inside is a note from Santa (or perhaps a magical helper), and a tiny charm with instructions: her holiday luck will change—but only when love begins to bloom in her heart.Soon, small magical events start happening. Snowflakes fall perfectly around her crush, a mischievous cat ends up wearing a tiny elf hat at just the right moment, and ornaments seem to appear in her path leading her to… Ethan Hale, the handsome but slightly grumpy owner of the town’s cozy bookstore. Ethan has lived in Everpine all his life, caring for the community and maintaining his late father’s shop, but he’s always been skeptical of magic and romance.As Clara navigates magical mishaps, town festivities, and a series of near-disasters, the charm nudges her toward Ethan in playful, heartwarming ways. Between baking contests, snowball fights, and a candlelit tree-lighting ceremony, Clara and Ethan gradually fall for each other—but both must learn to trust in magic, timing, and the chance for real love.

When seventeen-year-old Liora crosses the forbidden veil of Mist surrounding her island, she discovers a shattered world of drifting isles, living currents, and ancient magic that pulses in her veins. Hunted by the Abyssborn, an immense creature that stirs the sea itself, Liora forms a fragile alliance with Kalen, a guarded wanderer whose own Tidebound powers mirror hers in unsettling ways. Together, they navigate perilous waters that shift with emotion and memory while uncovering a forgotten history that ties their destinies to the creature stalking them from the depths. As their magic intertwines, so do their hearts, but every step forward pulls them closer to a truth both beautiful and terrifying: the Mist is alive, and it remembers everything it has ever consumed. To survive, Liora must master a power she barely understands and face the darkness waiting beneath the waves before it claims them both.
