Our tale unfolds in Vatix, a sprawling metropolis born from what its people call the Blue Light-or the Blue Moev-a mysterious force that once granted them extraordinary abilities. At the heart of this city's past stood the Aions, masters of the Blue Moev, who brought order and harmony to Vatix. But their reign ended in blood when Lord Medov seized power, leaving the city under his oppressive rule. Under Lord Medov's iron grip, the once-flourishing Vatix became a shadow of its former self, a bleak and fearsome place. A rebellion stirred in the form of the Modalfs, a brave band of insurgents determined to reclaim their city and restore the balance the Aions had once upheld. Yet, their resistance has been marred by loss, bloodshed, and despair. Amidst this darkness, a glimmer of hope emerges: a young girl, the last surviving Aion, whose destiny intertwines with the fate of Vatix. As she steps into her newfound role, she must help the Modalfs battle Lord Medov's forces, while uncovering the truth of her own identity. Secrets, powers, and untold adventures lie ahead, shaping the fate of her world-and her own.

Camila is different, and only her ghost friend, Pedro, seems to understand. Not only is she a Puerto Rican in an unfamiliar setting, but she is also deaf, and only her mother and aunt take the time to learn sign language. Camila's disengagement may further also stem from supernatural abilities: she is telepathic. Her powers grow whenever she is upset, and the presence of Pedro seems to quantify the often gory results. Camila is a child living in the aftermath of World War II in New York City. For a period of roughly thirty years, the narrative traces the ups and downs of her life, and the lives of her family members. At two points in her life, the deaths of matriarchs force cyclical migration to the island of Puerto Rico, and back to New York City. Through Camila and other character viewpoints, the feeling of being an outsider in two worlds (as an American and as a Puerto Rican), is intensified by a family ghost named Pedro. He influences the characters into supposed liberation of self (though ultimately immoral decisions), and to underscore the anxiety of dual-identity experienced by Puerto Ricans. Camila is never sure where her home is, as she feels out of place in New York and in Puerto Rico, even as she struggles to find happiness in either place.

[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and they can be reawoken. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. In an empty town, there's not much to do except innovate new survival methods. Meg's crush is the one to discover that Morse Code, like writing, is a safe means of communication. That's all fine and good until the nightly rain begins. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.
