Fantasy

In Tokyo’s neon-drenched Hanabira-cho host-club district, broke, blacklisted exorcist Tsubaki Arashiro is offered thirty million yen and a black card for one dangerous assignment: become the number-one customer of Kohaku, the district’s most irresistible host, uncover his true name, and seal him before he drains any more women hollow. The catch? Kohaku is a six-hundred-year-old fox spirit with seven tails—and he’s had centuries to perfect the art of making people want him. To exorcise the monster, Tsubaki must get closer than anyone else ever has. But the closer she gets, the harder it may become to tell where the performance ends and the real danger begins.

On the sun-drenched reef kingdom of Thalassa Vey, broke pearl diver Tindara Scalia is desperate to save her drought-stricken island, which hasn’t seen rain in three years. Her plan? Swallow a sea-witch’s scale, grow a tail for seven tides, and enter the merman prince’s bride trials to win the legendary Rain Pearl. There’s just one problem: Prince Nerio recognizes her as human within ten minutes—and humans who enter the trials are fed to the Undertow. But Nerio has a secret agenda of his own: if no bride is crowned by the seventh tide, he’ll finally be free to leave the sea forever. With Tindara fighting for her island and Nerio fighting for his freedom, their goals may be at odds—or dangerously intertwined.

In the lantern-lit oasis city of Qamarand, jewel thief Zumurrud Hayek steals a brass lamp to buy back her brother from the Caliph's spymistress — and frees Sayf, a vain, gorgeous, seven-hundred-year-old jinn who owes her three wishes. Every wish saves her skin and snaps a gold bangle from his wrist onto hers. What he doesn't tell her: whoever speaks the third wish takes his place in the lamp for a thousand years — and the spymistress wants a brand-new jinn to own.

On the sun-drenched island kingdom of Solmara, indentured weather-witch Ottilie Vantrosa is hired to keep the sky perfectly clear through the crown prince's seven-day royal wedding — by Solmaran law, rain on a royal wedding voids it, and if not one cloud falls, her crushing Guild debt is erased. Her magic has one flaw: her pulse IS the weather, and desire makes storms. The prince's exiled half-brother, gorgeous privateer captain Leander Castellane, needs the wedding to fail — so he sets out to seduce her into a hurricane.

On the sun-drunk Aegean party island of Kythera Nera, where superyachts moor below whitewashed beach clubs, the island's hottest DJ, Ligeia Marou, is secretly a siren who has not sung in three years — her voice, locked behind a gold choker, would walk any man who hears it into the sea. When yacht heirs start washing up in the harbour smiling, a luxury mogul hires Leon Laertides, the last hunter of the Order of the Mast, whose bronze ear-cuffs forged from Odysseus's mast make him deaf to siren song — and every clue points at her.

Cast from heaven, five exiles must trust a girl with hidden power. Their path to return sparks betrayal, miracles, and a battle between worlds.

A detective enters dreams to uncover hidden truths. When memories lie and data vanishes, can he solve the case before reality slips away?

When Naharoo’s sister is blamed for a girl’s viral disappearance, his gift for detecting lies pulls him into a brutal world of online hate, fear, and buried truth.
