Princess Shiori made a deathbed promise to return the dragon’s pearl to its rightful owner, but keeping that promise is more dangerous than she ever imagined.
She must journey to the kingdom of dragons, navigate political intrigue among humans and dragons alike, fend off thieves who covet the pearl for themselves and will go to any lengths to get it, all while cultivating the appearance of a perfect princess to dissuade those who would see her burned at the stake for the magic that runs in her blood.
The pearl itself is no ordinary cargo; it thrums with malevolent power, jumping to Shiori’s aid one minute, and betraying her the next—threatening to shatter her family and sever the thread of fate that binds her to her true love, Takkan. It will take every ounce of strength Shiori can muster to defend the life and the love she’s fought so hard to win.
Adam and Zayneb. Perfectly matched. Painfully apart. Adam is in Doha, Qatar, making a map of the hijrah, a historic migration from Mecca to Medina and worried about where his next paycheck will come from. Zayneb is in Chicago, where school and extracurricular stresses are piling on top of a terrible frenemy situation and making her miserable.
Then a marvel occurs: Adam and Zayneb get the chance to spend Thanksgiving week on the Umrah, a pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia, tracing the hijrah in real life, together. Adam’s thrilled, and Zayneb hopes for a spiritual reset—and they can’t wait to see each other.
But the trip is nothing like what they expect, from the appearance of Adam’s ex in their traveling group to the anxiety gripping Zayneb everywhere they go. And as one wedge after another drives them apart as they make their way from one holy city to another, Adam and Zayneb start to wonder: was their meeting just an oddity after all? Or can their love transcend everything else like the greatest marvels of the world?
Once, Esta believed that she could change the fate of magic. She traveled to the past and stopped the Magician from destroying a mystical book that held the key to freeing her people from the Brink, an energy barrier that traps all Mageus who cross it.
But the Book was more than she bargained for. So was the Magician she was tasked to steal it from.
Hunted by an ancient evil, Esta and Harte have raced through time and across a continent to track down the powerful artifacts they need to bind the Book’s devastating power. They’ve lost family, betrayed friends, and done what they’d both vowed never to do: fallen in love with the one person who could truly destroy them.
Now, with only one artifact left, their search has brought them back to New York, the city where it all began. But nothing in Manhattan is as they left it. Their friends have scattered, their enemies have grown more powerful, and as the deadly Brink beckons, their time is running out.
If they can’t find a way to end the threat they’ve created, then the very heart of magic will die—and it will take the world down with it.

Does this mean we would finally get our Megamind sequel?
Two posts in one week? Who is she? Can she keep that momentum up?! Only time will tell… It seems only right that my first Fiction Friday back of my little year and a half hiatus starts off with the sequel of the last book I spotlighted on Fiction Friday! Yes, I know I was gone long enough that the sequel was published… I’m a bad blogger okay?! But let’s jump into it shall we?
I watched the Eternals today and I think it was good, but I really Don’t like what they did with Ikaris , making him the villain was a bad decision, I mean in the comics he was main Eternal, the one who always was in front on covers. And even if they had to make him a villain they didn’t have to kill him, they could leave him alive for the sequel where he could have redemption arc, but that’s problem with MCU they have to kill off their villains. Still I hope he will reborn in the sequel considering they were able to do that in the comics. Besides it would waste of a good actor such as Richard Madden

I finally got my notebook back. So here’s last week’s update. This has a connection to Liar and is the sequel to The Kiss Of Death, so please read that first.
I am a scientist.
I have been investigating a virus with no cure.
Sort of like Epilepsy.
Is called the “Truthful Virus”.
My inspiration was my daughter.
She had Epilepsy and Truthful Virus.
A very rare case.
She dies from a seizure.
I found a cure for the T-Virus.
I call it T-Virus for short.
The cure was a purple liquid I put together.
You have to take it everyday as soon as you wake up.
I found this girl with the T-Virus.
I followed her.
She looked like my daughter.
She acted like my daughter.
She had a boyfriend like my daughter.
She was wearing the same outfit that my daughter died.
She was going to the same place that my daughter died at.
