Seasons of you and me
A love that changes with time
Seasons of You and Me
Some love stories are destined to last forever, while others are meant to change us for just a season.
For years, Emma Calloway has lived her life in neatly organized boxes—her thriving career as an art curator, her perfectly planned social events, and her quiet, predictable apartment in the heart of Chicago. But when her grandmother passes away, Emma is summoned back to Maplewood, the small town she left behind years ago, to handle the estate.
There, she meets Liam Hart—a down-to-earth carpenter with a penchant for restoring old treasures. Their lives couldn’t be more different, but their paths cross when Emma discovers an unfinished painting in her grandmother’s attic. The piece is breathtaking, but its subject—an unknown man—raises questions Emma is desperate to answer. She enlists Liam’s help to uncover the painting’s story, leading them on a journey through her grandmother’s past and through the changing seasons of their own lives.

The shattered crown
The Shattered Crown For centuries, the Crown of Valtheris was more than a symbol of authority—it was a relic of immense power, said to grant its wearer wisdom beyond mortal comprehension and strength to unify kingdoms. Forged in the fires of an ancient, forgotten age, it had ruled not only kings but the destiny of the land itself. Until the day it shattered.
