    Summary

    Peter Parker knows grief. He knows the feeling of the world spinning on while his floor vanished, and the exact weight of carrying that pain alone. Rebuilding his life from scratch—armed with a moldy apartment, a dead-end job, and a cheap prepaid burner—all he wants is to fade into the background.

    Until a voicemail hits his inbox.

    Maryam Darwish hates grief. More specifically, she hates the emotional bureaucracy of trying to stay functional while broken inside. Six months after her mother’s death, her life is a tightrope walk between college, two jobs, and a stubborn refusal to crumble. Her only escape is a secret habit: calling her mother’s old number in the dead of night, leaving long rants on a voicemail like a bottle thrown into the sea.

    Unknowingly, Peter begins listening to the fragments of a stranger’s life—her longing, bad days, minor victories, and everything she couldn't keep to herself. What starts as a secretly shared sanctuary soon spirals into an unexpected connection in real life, proving that sometimes, the only way to piece a shattered life back together is finding someone who knows the exact shape of your fractures.

    Summary

    Your new neighbour and Spider-Man have the same unfortunate habit of saying just enough to make you suspicious, but never enough to explain why.

    Still, coincidence is not evidence. Similarities prove nothing.

    And two plus two only equals four when you can show your work.

    Summary

    “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”

    But in Piltover and Zaun, the roles are cruelly cast.

    Detective Caitlyn Kiramman is no stranger to solving crime, but a new wave of Shimmer-related "suicides" pushes her beyond the limits of logic and endurance. Beneath her sharp intellect lies a reliance on stimulants — a crutch she refuses to name.

    Her investigation leads her deep into the shadowed depths of Zaun, where she encounters Vi: pit fighter, bouncer, and ex-con weighed down by guilt and a streak of self-destruction.

    As their cities spiral while the body count rises, Caitlyn and Vi untangle years of shared pain and vices long hidden.

    "Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, Blood and revenge are hammering in my head."

    Summary

    Summary

    He’s clever, they always said, which really meant don’t trust him. But when Claude pieced apart his walls to let someone inside they were always surprised to find that he wasn’t the snake they’d been expecting. He was ambitious, of course, but ambition in the hands of good men is a blessing, not a curse. And when he described the tenets of his vision for the future it was easy to believe that clever was simply a synonym for kind.

    He’ll betray you, they said, already sitting in his palms, but when he drew his hands into fists to crush them they still bothered to cry out, why?
