THE LAST SIGNAL BEFORE DAWN

Akanji_O_Habibat
Fifty years ago, the Veyans vanished. Their ships rose as one and disappeared into the void, leaving behind ruins, fractured technology, and a world collapsing into chaos. Time itself began to break—pockets of the past bleeding into the present, moments of the future flickering and dying before they could be born. They call it the Fracture. Lyra survives by scavenging Veyan relics and trading them to the highest bidder. Hope is a luxury she abandoned long ago. Trust is a weakness she cannot afford. But when she discovers an artifact no human has ever seen, the dormant Signal Tower screams to life—and through the static, a voice speaks. His name is Solen. He is Veyan. He is dying, scattered across the broken timeline of Earth. And he believes Lyra is the only one who can save him. Bound together by the artifact, Lyra ventures into the Fracture Zones—where past and present collide, and danger waits in every shadow. As she hunts for the fragments of Solen, their connection deepens into something neither expected. A longing that bends time. A bond that defies the ruins of a dying world. But the signal has awakened something else. An ancient enemy that hunted the Veyans across the stars now turns its gaze toward Earth. The Fracture is widening. The enemy is feeding. And Lyra must make an impossible choice: save the man she is falling for, or send the last signal before dawn—a call that could heal the world, but cost her everything. A sweeping sci-fi romance. A love story across time. A final chance for a dying world.

The Dragon Heir's Secret Mother

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?
