  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  In When Faith Meets Fire: Blood Ties & Broken Vows, Zula Tlholoe delivers a stirring tale of love, duty, and rebellion set in the deeply traditional village of Naledi. Amina, a young woman born into a world governed by sacred customs and ancestral expectations, finds herself at a crossroad between obedience and self-liberation. Betrothed to Kwame—a man chosen by her family and revered by her community—Amina is expected to carry the torch of tradition without question. 
  But her heart belongs to Malik, a quiet rebel with no lineage or wealth, yet full of vision and love that sets her soul ablaze. Their forbidden connection sparks a quiet storm that challenges the very foundations of what it means to honor family, faith, and self. 
  As lobola negotiations begin and wedding preparations tighten like a noose, Amina must decide if her voice, her love, and her future are worth the price of exile. With every chapter, readers are drawn deeper into a richly woven narrative of generational pressure, silent rebellions, and the cost of choosing oneself. 
  Blending lyrical storytelling with cultural nuance, When Faith Meets Fire is a powerful family saga that asks: What do we owe to tradition, and what do we owe to ourselves?

  Circulus Veneficae - Daughter of...

  Circulus Veneficae is not just a story—it is a manifesto whispered in the dark. At its heart lies Lilith, the outcast who refuses submission, reborn in the voice of a young woman who has grown tired of smiling while bleeding. From whispered confessions in a warehouse to rituals painted in lipstick and fire, the circle grows: Mira, Selina, Noor, Alma—each scarred, each burning with hunger, each carrying a secret that demands release. 
  Their revenge begins with symbols—mirrors, words, small acts of rebellion—but soon escalates into a dangerous game of seduction and exposure. Men who believed themselves untouchable find themselves reflected in a mirror they can no longer bear to face. But in every act of resistance lies a question: how far can you go before you lose yourself? 
  Mixing sensual prose with raw emotion, Circulus Veneficae blurs the line between vengeance and salvation, between poison and prayer. It is a story of women who catch fire and refuse to be extinguished. Dark, intoxicating, and painfully human, it is an ode to survival, sisterhood, and the dangerous beauty of female rage.
