Crimson Lies by Ciur

Cyra_Ciur
A prince who wants to disappear. An assassin who doesn't know she's working for him. A masquerade that hides more than just faces. The invitation arrives without a sender. Four names. No instructions. Just a time, a place, and the unshakable feeling that once they step in, there's no way out. Red has spent years perfecting the art of staying in the shadows—efficient, untraceable, and always in control. Until one reckless decision forces her into a game she didn't sign up for. The target? A missing prince. The catch? He's the one who hired her. Dalia never wanted to get involved. But when she receives an invitation wrapped in secrecy, she realizes she's already part of something much bigger. The past she buried is clawing its way back, and the people she trusted might be the ones pulling the strings. With hidden agendas, shifting alliances, and a deadly masquerade looming, nothing is as it seems. And when the masks come off, survival won't be about strength—it'll be about knowing who to trust before it's too late. The game has begun. And not everyone will make it out alive.

The Mirrorbound

In a world where reality blurs between magic and modernity, one broken mirror awakens a forgotten destiny. Liam Gray is just an ordinary young man — lonely, directionless, stuck in a mundane life where success feels like a distant dream. But everything changes when a mysterious mirror in his room cracks open… not to shatter, but to reveal another world. From that mirror steps Aeris Virelle, a fierce and secretive warrior from a magical realm on the brink of collapse. She seeks the fragments of an ancient spellbook — the Liminal Codex — a key that can restore balance… or destroy everything. As Liam is unwillingly dragged into her quest, he learns that he isn’t just a bystander. He is bound by blood, power, and fate to the shattered past of both worlds. Haunted by visions and hunted by corrupted forces, Liam joins a band of unlikely allies: Kael, a blunt but noble wind-based warrior with a soft spot for dumb jokes, Nyra, a spirited summoner whose tiny summons love stealing food and causing chaos — but whose powers are growing every day. Together, they must traverse deadly landscapes, fight cursed guardians, uncover ancient truths, and learn to trust one another. But Aeris is hiding a truth of her own — reporting to a heroine who may not be what she seems. And lurking behind every turn is a dark force, manipulating hearts and histories alike: the shadowy being that destroyed Elira’s people and tore open the world long ago. As realms collide and fragments fall into place, Liam must decide: is he a hero destined to save both worlds… or a sacrifice meant to seal them?
