Derrick Stones is the kind of manager everyone despises. Feared by his employees and respected only for the results he delivers, he believes compassion is for the weak.

Three children. One fire. A lifetime of scars. Jay and Chase Hamilton grew up side by side, brothers bound by laughter and games in the courtyard of their crumbling apartment complex. Anna Rivera, their neighbor, was the sparrow who trailed them everywhere — small, stubborn, determined never to be left behind. But one careless spark changed everything. The fire tore through their home, leaving ash and silence in its wake. Their mother never returned, and with her absence came unspoken blame. Chase carried the weight of believing she died for him. Jay took the guilt of failing to protect them both. Anna disappeared under whispers and shadows, her name cursed by neighbors who swore the fire had been her fault. Twenty-five years later, the past is still burning. Chase is now CEO of the family’s printing press, driven, distant, and ruthless. Jay is a photographer abroad, still chasing moments he can never hold onto. And Anna — under another name, rebuilt and unrecognizable — has risen quietly, her fate intertwined with theirs once more. But ash does not stay buried forever. When the truth resurfaces, it will test the fragile bonds of family, loyalty, and forgiveness. Ashes of Yesterday is a sweeping story of childhood lost, of wounds carried into adulthood, and of whether broken lives can ever be pieced back together when the fire never really died.

Arcana High is known as the greatest magic academy in the Bluestar World. It is prestigious, disciplined, and supposedly safe. But when a group of ordinary teens accidentally breaks into the academy’s restricted library, they uncover something no student was ever meant to see: A living, ancient map that chooses them as its “Special Players.” From that moment on, their lives changed into a strange, game-like reality where hidden, forbidden regions appeared all around the Bluestar World. Monsters, Mutated Beasts, Zombies, and unknown monstrosities roam the world. Every basic spell evolves like a skill tree. And the map keeps issuing quests with one warning: “Level up… or die.” Forced to team up despite their clashing personalities, the teens must explore the world's hidden regions, unlock ancient magic, and complete trials that push them far beyond their limits. But the deeper they go, the more they realize: The map is just a trial ground for divine beings called the Naphil. Entities powerful enough to rewrite the structure of the Bluestar World. And now, they want to filter out the strong players from the weak. If humans can't level up fast enough, Arcana High won’t be the only thing that falls…The entire realm will.
