    Summary

     

    To the Shirtless Prince of Hallway Loitering,

    You’re not that handsome, you know. 

    This Valentine's Week, the Shiz Gazette is running a special series: anonymous letters from a secret admirer of a certain prince with a talent for hallway loitering, rain-drenched entrances, and dramatic button loss.
    They're witty, wounding, and weirdly tender.

    No one knows who "Fae" is—only that their words have the campus obsessed, the group chats unhinged, and at least one royal heart racing as he realizes someone sees right through his carefully crafted charm.

    Summary

    Some legends are forgotten for a reason.

    When a renowned archaeologist and his son disappear on an expedition unlike any before it, fifteen-year-old Iris Lennox refuses to accept the reassurances of men who tell her to wait. Her brother always wrote. Until he didn’t.

    Tracing their path from Calderon to the sun-baked ports of Maravel and beyond, Iris teams up with two young private investigators who know what it means to survive on the margins. Together, they uncover a trail leading toward the Sun Queen — a myth woven through the ruins of lost empires, and a power believed safely entombed.

    But the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes: this expedition was never just about history.

    As ancient forces stir and watchers move in the shadows, Iris must confront the truth of what her father discovered — and what it cost him to leave her behind.

    Summary

    "Please come back – you're my daughter, I'd do anything–!"

    She stopped, hand half-raised and ready to cast a spell. "Anything?"

     

    This is the old version! I'd love it if you'd read the new version instead: The Grand Vizier of Oz (2025 edition).
