WarmIcecream
Kai Albrecht was never meant to have a legacy. Born the bastard son of Austin Albrecht, the spoiled heir of a billionaire empire, and a forgotten maid, Kai grew up with nothing but hunger in his gut and fire in his veins. Cast aside by the Albrecht family and left to rot in poverty, no one ever imagined he would be anything more than a shadow of shame. But everything changes the day a mysterious attorney appears at his crumbling doorstep. His grandfather, Bernard Albrecht, once a penniless fisherman turned one of the richest men in the world—has died. And against all odds, he left everything that truly mattered not to his children… but to Kai: an uncharted island cloaked in secrets, and a hidden system that holds the power to create unimaginable wealth. Now, with nothing to lose and everything to gain, Kai steps onto the Island of Treasure—a place that responds only to blood, hunger, and willpower. He was never wanted. But now… he’s about to become unstoppable.

In Eldermire—a town ruled by the iron grip of the Council of Purity—being different is dangerous, and some kinds of love are a crime that can cost you everything. Orphaned young and raised under the council’s suffocating laws, Asher has learned that survival means keeping his head down. By day, he works as a waiter at The Gilded Spoon, an elite café where the town’s powerful gather. By night, he dreams of a life where he doesn’t have to pretend. Then there’s Malcolm Hayes—the mayor’s son. Wealthy, charming, and engaged to the daughter of a high-ranking council member, he is everything Asher can never have.

One moment, they were just two men living separate lives. The next, they are fugitives.
