    Summary

    Go big or go home, they say.

    Go big, Milo agrees. Always go big, then go bigger. Milo has gone beyond places he dares to imagine, but at the very end of this vast world is home. He has travelled across land and sea until he stumbles upon a place where he thinks is the direction of going big, only to find that he is home, after all.

    Here he watches the way light is trapped between Kida’s every strand of hair, her lilting laugh bouncing from wall to wall until it plants itself in Milo’s heart, he wonders, where does this leave him?

    Milo Thatch and how he learns to show love in gestures that are not as grand as he's accustomed to, but significant all the same.

    Summary

    The first thing Kidagakash thought when she saw the skinny stranger with dirt-colored hair was: How did he get down here?

    Her second thought– unsuited for a warrior and stemming entirely from her insatiable curiosity of the Surface World– What does he have on his face?

    Summary

    And so she had fallen in love with fishermen and soldiers. She brought them to this secret place. She had let them feel her pulse through her skin with hands and mouths. She had let her heart be handled without care. And when it broke, she simply reminded herself that this was the cost of love. It took. It would always take.
    That was, of course, until she had met Milo.

    || Or, Kida, uncertain about Milo's feelings for her, takes him somewhere special.

    Summary

    Ne Zha never expected Ao Bing to stay. Ao Bing never thought he’d choose fire over the sea.
    But grief binds them, war stalks them, and Heaven will not forgive what they’ve become.
    Side by side, they must learn what it means to fight for more than survival—for a world where they can be more than enemies, more than weapons.

    Summary

    In the golden light of a crumbling kingdom, King Baldwin IV, the Leper King of Jerusalem, entrusts his life to a physician unlike any other—a brilliant woman from the East who bears a face he thought lost to time.
    Ten years ago, a tragedy stole her from Jerusalem—and from him. Baldwin grieved her as one mourns a ghost of childhood. Now, she returns in secret, cloaked in a healer's robes, bearing the weight of a past neither can escape.
    As political threats mount and his body falters, Baldwin must confront an impossible truth: the cure for his dying soul may be the very woman fate once stole—and now gives back.

    ‼️Disclaimer: This novel is a work of historical fiction inspired by the life of King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem. While the character may be familiar from the film Kingdom of Heaven, this story draws instead from historical chronicles, medieval sources, and scholarly interpretation—seeking to explore Baldwin's legacy as it might have truly been lived.

    Summary

    This is the second book in The Phoenix of Jerusalem series.

    At nineteen, King Baldwin IV wages war on three fronts—against the invaders beyond Jerusalem's walls, the factions fracturing his court, and the leprosy consuming him from within. Surrounded by unrest and racing against time, he leans on the one person who sees him beyond the crown or the illness: Ysolde, his brilliant physician and once-lost childhood friend, who returned for duty and found love. As the kingdom begins to fall, Baldwin and Ysolde fight to hold what remains, protect each other, and carve out the right to live on their own terms before all that they are—king, healer, city, and bond—is lost to fire and memory.

    Summary

    He does not see them sailing into Syracuse.

    Moments between wakefulness and slumber spent conjuring up orange sails among familiar cliffs and towers, night after night, for months, and he is not there to see them come. At least they have done so frequently enough in his imagination that he does not need to, he supposes.

    Or: Marina and Sinbad return to Syracuse thirteen months after leaving together, and Proteus suddenly has to navigate touches, memories and feelings.

    Summary

    Ao Bing asks for what he wants.

    Seventeen times. Nezha knows the drill now. They draw towards each other, like the shore towards the moon, lips meeting chastely, always beginning hesitantly, neither willing to hurt, both suppressing the raging beasts of hunger deep within them that roar to life whenever they find themselves alone nowadays.

    Summary

    It doesn't matter how much dragon blood flows through Ao Bing's veins - he learned early on that to survive was to be human. But Nezha is intrigued despite Ao Bing's attempts to keep his dragon form hidden, and it's not long before Ao Bing finds himself at war with his own heart.

    Nezha makes sure he isn't fighting that war alone.

    Summary

    At the dawn of time, Nezha’s hands fluttered through a constellation. There was salt on his fingers, rust in his eyes.

    His vision blurred as he looked at the horizon. The sea swelled around him, burned red and gold, night retreating reluctantly like blood from a treasured sword.

    The world came back to him in bits and pieces, and he waited, futile, for three things that would never return.

    Summer.

    The shore.

    Ao Bing.

    =

     

    “Hark! All Celestial Ministries, lend your ears!”

     

    A flurry of activity echoes around the Heavenly Court.

     

    “The Marshal of the Central Altar—slayer of chaos, vanquisher of ten thousand demons—kneels before the Jade Throne! The three realms are pacified, the broken kingdoms are unified!”

     

    “You have done well. What will you have as your prize, Vanguard General?”

    Li Nezha raised his head. A little white dragon coiled around his wrist chirps cheerfully, uncaring of the solemn nature of this ceremony.

    “The Huagai Star Official.”

    Then, as if unsure if he made himself clear, the war god stands, gaze steely. “I meant to say, his hand in marriage.”

    Summary

    Nezha learns to adjust to a number of things.

    The unexpected additional freebie—unwanted at that, which Nezha feels he should make doubly clear—that comes with a brand new body, Nezha finds, is the onslaught of never-ending thoughts, dreams, and images that rattle around in his brain akin to toddlers who have had too much sugarcane juice to drink, running amok in the fields with their grandparents shaking their fists by their makeshift mahjong tables and yelling at them to get away from the watermelons.
