When a group of teens sneaks out of detention and into the woods on a dare, they expect a thrill-maybe even a secret to uncover. What they find is something ancient, sentient, and watching. The forest twists itself around their fears, unearths their secrets, and offers them impossible powers... but nothing comes for free. As reality warps and loyalties crack, the path forward is unclear, and the only way out might be through each other-or through sacrifice. The Unseen Path is a supernatural tale about guilt, trust, and what's left when you're forced to meet the worst parts of yourself.

The aliens kill every human they catch, or in rare cases, put trackers on them to discover their hidden villages. When Natalie is caught in an ambush, she is unexpectedly released. But there is no tracker. The Saursunes have an entirely different motive this time. *** Run. Don't look back. When Natalie is trapped in an alien ambush, she is unexpectedly released. The first human to ever be let go. The Saursunes invaded centuries ago, and everyone knows that getting caught is certain death. Natalie is confused but grateful to be alive. As a porter, one of the few humans with the rare ability to teleport between special crystal formations, she must leave the safety of her desert village every day to help gather food. When other villages increase their raids on the Saursunes' farms, the aliens retaliate by hunting down every human they can find - except Natalie's group. Instead of trying to kill her and those helping her, they bring them food instead. Is it a trap? Or something else? Natalie isn't sure, but one thing is certain: the Saursunes aren't done with her yet.

In a world where power is dictated by the color of your eyes, survival means knowing your place in the system. Jun Iñigo Halvane is an ordinary man-until everything he knows about himself shatters. Time bends, memory distorts, and his existence is thrust into chaos. He's no longer just a worker in a corporate factory; he's something far more dangerous-and he doesn't even know it. Elara Veyne, codename Vigil-9, is Everreach Solutions' enforcer. She's the corporate blade, cutting down anyone who threatens the delicate order she's sworn to uphold. When an unregistered powered individual-an aberrant-slips through the cracks, Elara doesn't hesitate. It's not personal. It's survival. The system she's bound to can't afford a single crack. As Jun's reality unravels, Elara is sent to silence him before the chaos he's unleashed can destroy everything. But in the end, the greatest threat may not be the aberrants. It's the dark truth about what they've all become-and the ruthless machine keeping them in line. You can't outrun what they made you to be.

Thirty seven years after the Baltic Fallout, an unplanned and unsanctioned extension goes awry for Pardus Caterva. Terminating Dessies, disease-riddled ex-citizens, is always risky business, so Pardus shrug it off as unusual and nothing more. Until a fright in the medic wing of Fyddin Seminary. Add into the mix the mad rantings of an escaped target, and the Caterva are left rightly suspicious. Pardus come to terms with the cards they have been dealt with, and despite their programming to serve Sentry and fulfil their duty to Crux, they find themselves in agreement: to do the right thing. Juniper Wolff has never been a fan of cliches, and finds herself impossibly less so when it's her own fingers burnt from playing with the fire. Because sometimes, doing the right thing simply isn't enough. Note: contains depictions of violence, "monsters" and muted language. All Rights Reserved. A Grace | Abbey Grace.

A story of fractured timelines, uncertain truths, and the collision of myth and science. What if the blue skin of Hindu gods wasn't just symbolism, but the echo of a physical phenomenon, like the Doppler Effect, glimpsed and misunderstood across centuries? The Skin of Time follows scattered lives entangled by a rupture in space-time: a crack in reality torn open by an experimental gravitational weapon that unveils the fabric between worlds and the beings in it. In 1990s India, a child turns blue, and his family, aided by strange and supernatural allies, must flee a breach that seems to follow them through time. Elsewhere, bodies drift in orbit, fresh yet frozen for millennia. Clone soldiers melt in agony, and the family unravel under the weight of inexplicable loss. In 1938 Manchukuo, a Japanese teenager erupts in black fire, killing prisoners, guards, and even his father. Gifted to a secret Nazi expedition to Tibet, he becomes something more than human. A weapon and a prophecy. Told through multiple voices and shifting timelines, this novel blends science fiction, magical realism, and cosmic horror to suggest that our oldest stories may not be relics of the past, but fragments of something still unfolding.
