“Chrissy has always felt like she didn’t belong, but she never expected the reason to be hidden beneath the waves. Drawn to a haunted lighthouse and a mysterious underwater cave that calls to her, she begins unraveling secrets about her past—secrets that could change everything. As she searches for the magic she knows exists, she discovers something even more impossible: she is the daughter of a mermaid. But with dark forces determined to keep the truth buried, Chrissy must uncover her destiny before the tide pulls her under for good.”

Christina Hale was born to wear silk and smile politely. She loves the gowns, the music, the glittering balls-but she also loves the quiet ink-stained hours spent alone in her father's print shop, a rare inheritance secured under strict conditions: she may indulge her "childhood fancy," but only if she maintains her family's reputation and marries well.

Men like Benedict Amherst-wealthy, refined, and ambitious-seem perfectly suited. He works alongside her brother securing shipping contracts for their Loyalist family. His interest in her isn't personal-it's transactional.

But when Ethan Tallmadge, a courier for the Continental Army, arrives asking questions about her anonymous column-how it prints tips no one outside Loyalist circles should know-Christina finds herself torn. The words she once wrote in secret for amusement have become belief. And now, she must choose: remain the object they all expect her to be... or become the turncoat no one sees coming.

In the year 4025, a cataclysmic war erupted between the world's major powers. The origins of the conflict were lost in the mists of time, though historians speculate that it was the result of a geopolitical dispute or the reckless depletion of resources. The war, brief but devastating, left the planet on the brink of collapse. Three nuclear warheads were enough to sow destruction, but their impact was merely the prelude to something even more terrifying.

By 4032, the war's collateral effects gave rise to a new threat: the Infected. These beings, the result of a dark human experiment, were misleadingly called "infected." With their emergence, the remaining societies and states were gradually wiped out, dragged down by the unstoppable wave of human decay.

Years later, in 4101, a titanic project began in South America: the construction of a wall that would span 70% of the continent. Though the idea seemed archaic, it eventually proved to be a crucial measure for humanity's survival. After 664 years of arduous work, the wall was completed, and the old nations gave way to a new order: the Seven Republics.

Amid this apocalyptic landscape, an unexpected figure emerges: Joaquín Gabriel Fernández Fausto, a young visionary who, in the midst of chaos and despair, assumes the presidency of the Seven Republics under the banner of the UUP party. With determination and a brilliant mind, Joaquín faces the monumental task of rebuilding a society on the brink of collapse. His leadership of the Seven Republics not only redefines the future of these nations but also marks a turning point in the history of humanity. Under his guidance, humanity seeks to atone for its past mistakes and build a new dawn in a devastated world.

Last year, when Mia helped get rid of a group of rival vampires wreaking havoc on the city, she thought that would be the end of it. This year, she's hoping for a chance to finally be a normal high school student. But a note wedged in her locker changes all that: someone knows what she did.

Now, instead of making plans with the boy she likes, Mia has to juggle her schedule around whatever the author of that note says. If she doesn't, she risks not only being exposed as a vampire, but being labeled as someone calculating enough to get rid of any competition. Adding to Mia's troubles are the questions about vampires from a friend who's just a little too interested, and a secret her boyfriend's keeping. There's something wrong with him - something so dark, Mia's not sure she'll survive the discovery.

Title: The Healing Within By: ABDULAZEEZ KHADIJAH OLAMIDE--- Zahra could barely lift her head off the pillow. Another morning. Another headache. Her body ached, her skin broke out often, and every doctor she visited had the same prescription: more pills. None of them worked. For months, Zahra suffered in silence, retreating further from her friends and her once-thriving catering business. Even cooking—her greatest passion—had become a chore. One rainy afternoon, while cleaning out her late grandmother’s old room, Zahra found a dusty wooden box beneath the bed. Inside lay an old, leather-bound journal titled “Nature’s Healing: Recipes of Alhaja Mariam.” Zahra opened the book. Page after page, she saw remedies using herbs like moringa, turmeric, ginger, neem, and honey. Her grandmother had always been vibrant, rarely sick, and had lived to 98. Desperate, Zahra decided to try one recipe for fatigue—a morning tonic made from warm lemon water, turmeric, and cayenne. Within a week, she noticed subtle changes. Her sleep improved. Her headaches faded. Her energy returned. She swapped out white flour for millet and sugar for dates. She added leafy greens and herbs to every meal. Zahra started documenting her journey on social media under the name “From Sick to Strong.” What began as daily posts turned into a movement. Women from across Nigeria and even abroad began sharing their healing journeys. She revived her business, this time offering healthy versions of traditional Nigerian dishes—bean cakes with coconut oil, zobo with hibiscus and ginger, and detox soups with moringa leaves. A year later, Zahra stood on stage at a wellness summit in Abuja, telling her story to hundreds. “I found healing,” she said, holding up her grandmother’s journal, “in my roots.” --- Moral: Sometimes, healing isn’t in a bottle. It’s in your kitchen. It’s in your history.

**She was the school's most cunning "airhead"—a humanities prodigy. He was the most emotionally inept "monster"—a science genius.**

On stage, they clashed.

Off stage, they tested the waters.

Two secret identities.

Two unspoken crushes.

One invisible game of tug-of-war.

She thought she'd hidden herself perfectly.

Little did she know...
