Gyeongseong Love Song

Some marriages are arranged. Some hearts are not. Gyeongseong, 1934. In a city where reputation is everything and a woman’s future can be decided over a cup of tea, Yoon Hae-won has always known that one day, she will be expected to marry well. She simply never imagined that her future husband would be a man she barely knows. Seo Tae-gyeom is everything a respectable husband should be: wealthy, composed, and impossible to read. He offers her a beautiful home, a name that commands respect, and a marriage built on an agreement neither of them had the freedom to refuse. He does not ask for her love. She does not offer it. But behind the polished doors of the Seo household lie unspoken histories, carefully guarded secrets, and a past her husband seems determined to keep buried. As Gyeongseong moves to the rhythm of jazz records, whispered scandals, and changing times, Hae-won begins to discover that the man she married may be far more complicated than the stranger she first met. And somewhere between formal dinners, midnight conversations, and the quiet intimacy of two lives learning to share a home, the boundaries of their arrangement begin to blur. Yet in a world where family duty outweighs personal desire and appearances can conceal almost anything, falling in love may be the easiest part of their story. Because what happens when a marriage arranged by others becomes a choice of their own? In Gyeongseong, every heart has a secret, every promise has a price, and the most beautiful love songs are sometimes the ones no one dares to sing.

The Red Hunt

In a nation divided between the wealthy Spires and the struggling Sinks, one hundred citizens are sent to Blackwake to compete in the Red Hunt, a televised game where only the strongest are expected to win a prize and residency in the Spires. The hunters are divided into teams of four called Quadrangles. Each Quadrangle is made up of four classes: the Tactician, who leads the team through strategy and decision-making; the Scout, who moves ahead to gather information and navigate danger; the Fighter, who handles combat and protects the team; and the Lifeline, who keeps injured teammates alive and provides medical support. Among them is Elowen Bradshaw, a teenage girl from the Sinks who enters the Hunt expecting nothing more than a way to help her dying aunt. But Blackwake is not the arena the government claims it to be. As mysteries pile up and the island reveals secrets buried beneath its surface, Elowen begins to realize that someone has been watching and manipulating the game from the shadows. The deeper Elowen goes, the more the Red Hunt stops looking like a competition and starts looking like something far more terrifying. Because the Hunters were never chosen at random. The Red Hunt was never about finding a winner. It was about deciding who deserved to be erased, then convincing an entire nation to watch. ~•~ "May the worthy endure. May the Spires remain eternal. Let the Red Hunt commence." ~•~ This novel contains some graphic content including violence & blood. Reader discretion is advised. Copyright © 2026 Eugene John Lubaton All Rights Reserved.
