Varian Morris is an average teen with an average girlfriend and a set of average friends. Against the backdrop of 2003, a camping trip turns into a horror game between Varian and two of his friends, Kacey and Padriac. Things turn for the worse when Varian falls down a hill and blacks out only to awaken in an unknown room. Trapped, he's taunted and forced to obey the commands of the person behind a mechanical voice. He's put through trauma, forced to eat the fingers of a dead girl resembling his girlfriend, before he's returned home. While his family are adamant to get him help, his friends Kacey, Padriac, and Mary seemed unbothered by the mental trauma he's gone through. They act strange and his girlfriend has been picking up on it for years. Only now, she's accusing Kacey of being his kidnapper. Varian is horrified and swears it couldn't be true. While trying to piece his life back together, he grapples with the influx of twisted fantasies and desires unleashed by his hellish nights of imprisonment. His relationships begin to fall apart and when he's just starting to get help, he's kidnapped again. [Potential Spoilers] All characters are 18. Puppet stands on its own, but it is the first in a series with an interconnected universe.

[!Read Puppet first!] Kacey always knew he was different. He liked pain, screams, and blood way more than a normal 13-year-old should. And when he meets Padriac, he finds not just a cure for boredom in torture, but also an addiction he can't escape.

ꜱᴇᴛʜ'ꜱ ꜰɪɴᴀʟʟʏ ɢᴏᴛᴛᴇɴ ʀᴇᴠᴇɴɢᴇ ᴏɴ ʜɪꜱ ʙᴜʟʟʏ. ᴏʀ ʜᴀꜱ ʜᴇ? Ten years ago, Seth Deere was kidnapped. Therapy can't stop the nightmares or the dark thoughts he has. Nor can it stop him from sleepwalking to random locations in the middle of the night. As his forms of self-healing become more self-destructive, the bullying at school become worse as well. The main perpetrator? Jaxon Mosey. But when Seth catches Jaxon sleeping with their teacher, Seth blackmails Jaxon into becoming his own personal slave. However, as Seth is wrapped up in Jaxon's terrifyingly dark world, he can't tell who is pulling the strings anymore. Is Jaxon the slave or has Seth's hands been tied since the beginning? [While Slave can be read on its own, it's recommended to read Puppet first.]

Two years have passed since Seth made Ash promise to keep a horrible secret. Now, Seth is miles away, living with Jaxon who is now his boyfriend. After falling out of contact, Ash was ready to move on-until Seth moved back to town. When Ash's home-life is turned upside, Seth offers them a place to stay. Neither Jaxon or Ash are happy to be sharing a space together-especially with what Ash knows about him-but with nowhere to go, Ash has to suck it up. Animosity is strong between the two of them and Seth seems fed up with both of them. However, things start to change when Ash witnesses how deep Jaxon's claws have sunk into Seth. Jaxon has a hold over Seth like a master over a puppet. And Ash doesn't know if they want to cut the strings or help maintain them. ["Pupil" is the sequel to "Slave". It's recommended to read to completely understand.]

He woke up in a different year, a different place, and he held onto every memory. But when he's murdered by teenage serial killers, he ends up returning to the last place he wanted-his own time period. Once a court jester, he'd wronged the crown on the night he died the first time. And waiting for him, like time hadn't passed at all, was the person he'd been running away from, Esmond.
