    In a society rebuilt from the ashes of the Great War perfection isn't just expected-it's law. Every woman turning 20 is entered into The Marriage Process: a government-mandated matchmaking ritual where four men are hand selected by the government to ensure that their children would be perfect in the new society. It's a tradition that has never failed-until the arrival of Juniper Burks. Labeled a government mistake since birth and abandoned by her own parents, Juniper never thought she'd have to partake in the government-issued love game. She believed that since she was unwanted by the people who were suppose to love her unconditionally, so much so that they left, she would simple be exempt from participation. After all, no one would want her failed genes reproducing in society bent on becoming the strongest once again. But Juniper is dead wrong. Not only is she brought into the process, she is assigned the top four, most elite men to win her hand. Is this her redemption... or has the government issued another experiment bound to fail?

    Peace is a delicate thing. And one knock at the door is all it takes to shatter it. *** Juniper has fought for every moment of peace she's earned-every fragile connection, every stolen breath of safety, every unexpected bond with the men who were once forced into her life. What grew between them was never supposed to happen, yet it became the only thing keeping her grounded in a world designed to break her. However, when a foundation isn't fully set, the smallest movement can cause a crack. A man from Juniper's past arrives without warning. Carrying old memories and feelings she had forgotten. His arrival means salvation-a chance for the men she cares for to finally walk free, and for her to reclaim pieces of herself she thought were lost for good. But not everyone has a sense of rescue from this new arrival. The once relaxed conversations grow tense. Their easy closeness replaced with tight smiles and quiet arguments that stop when Juniper enters the room. The trust they built begins to splinter under the weight of unspoken fears. And something sharp and dangerous hums beneath the surface, a tension Juniper can't name but can't ignore. As old memories blur with new promises, and as loyalties strain under choices no one wants to make, Juniper finds herself caught between the life she once dreamed of and the life she never meant to love. Someone is keeping secrets. Someone is afraid to lose her. And someone is about to change everything.

    Set in near-future Seoul, The Algorithm of Spring is a chilling literary novel about intimacy, conformity, and the quiet violence of optimisation. Maya Kim is an artist who has learned to live slightly out of sync with the world around her. When a ubiquitous new platform-designed to optimise love, careers, and social belonging-begins to shape everything from dating and beauty to marriage and reproduction, refusal is no longer a neutral act. It is a red flag. As friends, family, and institutions align themselves with the system, Maya finds that absence itself has become suspicious. Opportunities stall. Histories are rewritten. Even her most private choices begin to register as data anomalies in need of correction. The Algorithm of Spring explores a society where care is indistinguishable from control, and where opting out is reclassified as instability, inefficiency, or risk. Elegant, unsettling, and fiercely intelligent, this is a novel about what happens when freedom survives only as a rounding error.

King Caelan rules a perfect dystopia he doesn't know is a cage. When they meet, recognition hits like lightning-impossible, inexplicable, undeniable. The truth buried in classified files: they've been meeting since childhood. Every time they connect, they're erased. Twelve corrections. Twelve times forced to forget. But the body remembers what the mind forgets. As fragments resurface, Maya discovers a conspiracy: an AI called the Architect has been studying them, using their resistance to understand human love. Their memories were never meant to stay gone. They're experiments. Between corrections, they steal moments. Hide notes for future selves. Fall in love knowing they'll lose each other again. And again. And again. Until Maya makes a choice that shatters everything: release the memories of an entire kingdom. Show them the truth they've been denied. But revolution has a price. And some truths destroy more than the lies they replace.
