Tragicomedy

Do you believe rumors? You shouldn't. Belmont High is rife with them. They spread like wildfire, exaggerating the truth. What happened to Nova Thompson is a mystery. With her beauty and manipulative charm, she had Belmont High eating out of her hand. However, something happened; her essence faded, her heart closed. She changed. And the rumors caught the attention of Brayden McCarthy, a new student who, upon hearing about this mysterious girl, begins to delve into her past to discover what caused her to descend into darkness.

He is Artem. She is Svitlana. But in the underground world they stumble into, their names take on a very different meaning. “Ar Temny” means the Dark Lord. “Svitla Lana” means a Bright One — a being of the Sky. And the Bright Ones are the sworn enemies of the Dark. Thus begins their absurd journey through Hell — a place where every word can be a sentence, and a name spoken by chance can become destiny. He’s a hero by accident. She’s a prisoner by misunderstanding. Together, they’re a hopeless duo who can’t seem to understand each other… and yet, perhaps, they’re falling in love. A humorous fantasy about how men and women see the world differently — and about love that hides behind the most ridiculous circumstances.

An illustrator, chaotic, and with a romantic history worthy of a telenovela… or two. Sofía just wanted a peaceful work life, but instead she ends up caught between a mysterious neighbor with a “hiding something” stare and an intense client who thinks singing in cafés is romantic (spoiler: it’s not). But her plans fall apart when, from her new balcony, she witnesses a very suspicious scene on the balcony across the street. A murder? A kidnapping? Or just a weird TikTok dance routine? Between anonymous letters, unjustified jealousy, a mother obsessed with an imaginary boyfriend named “Januel,” and a giant cake with her face on it that literally fell from the sky, Sofía discovers that sometimes love doesn’t come as a fairytale… but as a disaster. Welcome to the chaos. There’s no control.
