This is not a love story. This is a story of a kidnapping, of holding someone against their will in a glass tower. There is a prince: handsome, bad-tempered, arrogant. Untouchable, safe within his magic and his glass tower. Daniel Everwood has everything he could ever need -- power, control, a tower of shimmering glass, even a friend. The fact that he cannot touch people has never truly mattered.Until he meets Eren.For the first time in his life, Daniel can touch someone. Simple contact becomes obsession. And obsession becomes a crime.Eren never asked to be special. To him, his difference is a curse. The last thing he ever wants is to wake up imprisoned in a glass tower, the captive of a man with too much power and too many secrets. He has a life waiting for him -- a mother, a girlfriend, a future he refuses to lose.Escaping should be simple. Except the closer Eren gets to freedom, the harder it becomes to ignore the unsettling truth: maybe Daniel isnt just the villain hes supposed to be. Maybe he is a victim, too, his heart as fragile as the glass magic he wields.And maybe, just maybe, neither of them will leave unchanged.

And the courtthick with betrayalbegins to close in.Every choice I make could spark rebellion or start a war that burns the realm to the ground.Loving my enemy may cost me my crown.Refusing him may cost us all our lives.

Bacolod is often promoted as a friendly, lowstress "easy city" but the real experience for foreigners is far more complex. Bacolod Without the Hype explains the parts most expat vloggers skip: the slow pace that can feel relaxing or frustrating depending on your personality, the limits of the infrastructure once youre living there fulltime, the social adjustment curve that surprises many newcomers, and the quiet challenges that shape everyday life far more than the touristfriendly marketing suggests.This isnt a complaint book or a sugarcoated travel guide. Its a straight, realistic breakdown of what foreigners actually encounter when they move to Bacolod written in everyday language, without exaggeration or drama. Youll learn what daily routines really look like, how transportation works when youre not just visiting for a week, what to expect from local services, and how the citys famously friendly culture feels once youre navigating it as a longterm resident rather than a guest.The guide also explores the subtler realities: the slower bureaucratic processes, the differences in communication style, the expectations around community and privacy, and the practical considerations that determine whether Bacolod fits your lifestyle or clashes with it. Cost of living, medical access, safety, and neighborhood dynamics are all covered with the same nononsense clarity.If youre considering Bacolod for retirement or longterm living, this book helps you avoid the common assumptions and understand the city as it truly is not the version polished for social media. Whether Bacolod becomes your ideal home or a place you decide to cross off your list, youll walk away informed, prepared, and confident in your decision.

Cities across the developed world are no longer producing children at replacement levelsand no policy has been able to reverse the trend. Cities Without Children argues that this is not a temporary disruption, cultural phase, or political failure, but a structural outcome of how modern cities function.Through clear analysis of housing markets, labor specialization, credential timelines, partner markets, and childcare economics, this book shows how density, competition, and network effects quietly make family formation irrational for most urban residents. The same forces that generate wealth, innovation, and opportunity simultaneously suppress fertility through cost, time pressure, instability, and social fragmentation.This book does not offer optimism or solutions. Instead, it provides a precise diagnosis of why every advanced city is converging on the same outcomeand why fertility decline may be irreversible without dismantling the economic logic that makes cities successful in the first place. For readers interested in demographics, urban futures, economics, and long-term societal risk, this book explains what is happening, why it is happening everywhere, and what kind of world follows.
