For years, you have heard the name Kylo Ren whispered across systems like a warning, an enforcer risen under Snoke, powerful and relentless, searching for something no one else seems to understand. You know what the whispers don’t say: that before him, there was you. Snoke took you as a child and turned you into a weapon. You were trained, tested, and watched. Every moment had a purpose, and that purpose was power.
You are one of the top barrel racers on the professional rodeo circuit, and Colton Callahan, one of its best bull riders, have always existed in the same world—close enough to know of each other, far enough to ignore it. When they’re forced into the same training program, that distance disappears, and something unspoken begins to build.
Y/N deals in secrets and trusts no one—until a lead draws her to Takodana and into the orbit of Poe Dameron, a pilot who refuses to play her game. What should have been a transaction becomes something far more dangerous. Pulled quickly into the Resistance and hunted by Kylo Ren for what she knows, Y/N finds her control slipping as war—and Poe—push her into unfamiliar territory. Now, she must decide who she is without secrets and whether she’s willing to risk everything for something real.
Eight years ago, you survived the Hunger Games. You learned that mercy gets people killed, trust is a luxury, and the only thing more dangerous than the arena is believing someone will save you. When President Snow announces the Third Quarter Quell, every living Victor is thrown back into the Games. For the youngest champion, survival means returning to the nightmare you escaped as a child. Surrounded by legends, liars, and killers, you’re forced into an uneasy alliance with Finnick Odair—the Capitol’s golden boy. To everyone else, he’s charming, fearless, and impossible to resist. To you, he’s everything you despise. But the arena has a way of stripping away illusions. As old wounds reopen and the rebellion begins to stir beneath Panem’s polished surface, you’ll discover that the people you judged aren’t always who they pretend to be… and neither are you. Because in the Hunger Games, survival isn’t about being the strongest. It’s about deciding what you’re willing to become to make it home.
Sent to King’s Landing as an “honored guest” from House Martell, a fiercely independent Dornish princess arrives as both a symbol of fragile peace and a quiet threat—her presence ensuring Dorne’s loyalty while reminding the court that she is not easily controlled. With sun-warmed skin, striking green eyes, and two tigers that move at her side like shadows, she becomes impossible to ignore—especially as whispers follow her through the Red Keep: a dead former betrothed, a past edged with violence, and a will that bends for no one. Though no match has been formally declared, her future is an unspoken negotiation, one that draws the attention of Valarr Targaryen, whose quiet strength and steady presence offer her something dangerously unfamiliar—trust—and Aerion Targaryen, whose volatile fascination ignites a connection as reckless as it is consuming. As court politics tighten and her father’s expectations loom from afar, she must navigate a game where she is both player and prize—and where choosing between fire and steadiness may cost her far more than her freedom.
After years of silence, Kylo Ren begins tracking a disturbance in the Force that feels less like a presence and more like an absence—something powerful that refuses to be found. His search leads him to Vaelis, his former rival from Luke Skywalker’s temple, long presumed lost after its fall. But she is not the opponent he remembers. Now moving unseen across the galaxy, Vaelis protects what she chooses and answers to no side, her power sharpened into something precise, controlled, and impossible to predict. When Kylo finds her, she does not run, fight, or submit—she simply refuses him, and in doing so, becomes the one force he cannot dominate. Drawn into a cycle of pursuit and confrontation, Kylo grows increasingly fixated on the one person who sees him clearly and refuses to justify what he has become. Vaelis, searching for the truth of her own hidden lineage, uncovers fragments of a past tied to Obi-Wan Kenobi, even as Kylo tries to pull her into his world of power and control. Their connection is not one of redemption, but of tension—two former equals shaped by different choices, now standing on opposite sides of what it means to wield the Force. As their encounters intensify, the conflict between them becomes inevitable, forcing both to confront whether identity is something inherited, or something chosen.
