World Palace - Paperback

High school senior Artiman has a gift for baking, but he's always viewed it as just a hobby. That all changes one fateful day at Gold City Mall, where he stumbles upon a mysterious store and finds himself transported to World Palace-a realm of magic, wonder, and endless possibilities. Lost and bewildered, he meets Matrice, an elderly woman who becomes his baking mentor, showing him that his skills might just be his ticket to a life he never dared to dream.

As Artiman gains recognition in this otherworldly domain, word of his baking prowess reaches Tafina, the soon-to-be heiress of World Palace. Curiosity piqued, Tafina makes it a point to visit Artiman's bakery. Their eyes meet, and sparks fly-setting off a whirlwind romance and pulling Artiman deeper into the intrigues and responsibilities of this new world.

As both of them learn to navigate love, leadership, and their unique gifts, they must make choices that could change the fate of World Palace forever. Will Artiman embrace his baking gift to create a life worth living? Can Tafina find the courage to lead her people while navigating the maze of young love?

World Palace is a spellbinding blend of coming-of-age romance and high-stakes fantasy, reminding us that the road to self-discovery is never a straightforward one-but always worth the journey.
