This was supposed to be a new start for them; Astra had made that clear. If she looked back on it all now it would tear her apart. A fresh start meant no more wounds. It meant new friends, and distance from endless hospital visits and a potential criminal record. She was ready to leave him behind her.

Set against the gritty pulse of late-90s counterculture in Baton Rouge, Below the Signal follows four misfits employed by a company known as Harper-Kline Investigations. Founded in 1948, Harper-Kline officially hunts, archives, and eliminates supernatural dangers that poses a threat to humanity. Unofficially, however, the company recruits rejects, former criminals, and psychopathic misfits as a way to rehabilitate troubled minds. Take these losers, for example: Tessa Beauvais: A debt-ridden witch more concerned with finances than the supernatural. Elias Nilssen: A desk-napping third-generation monster hunter who couldn't care less about the family business. Rafe: A contract-bound rogue whose unpredictability makes him dangerous to allies and enemies alike. Shailene Inoue: A bored oracle whose hunger for adrenaline led her to escape a conversion camp. Fortunately, under the eye of their supervisor, Dr. Lucien Briar, the quartet is assigned with appears to be a routine child-abduction investigation after it dominates national headlines. The strange detail: a missing mother of two was last seen obsessed with Mirthwood Hollow, a forgotten 1980s children's TV program filled with life lessons, quaint folklore, and unsettling symbolism. As the team investigates, the case grows stranger by the hour. Footage of Mirthwood Hollow is unstable as parents who watch it decades ago recall episodes no one else does. Symbols embedded in the show's set design match occult signatures Harper-Kline has long classified as extinct. Witness timelines warp, interviews contradict themselves, and the investigation begins to behave like a trap set decades earlier. With the Baton Rouge Police Department refusing to interfere further, the quartet must figure out who - or what - created Mirthwood Hollow, why the missing parents were targeted, and how a seemingly innocent TV show became a conduit for something that has finally resurfaced.

He is a devil with charm. ˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ Alec Donovan is the kind of boy you cross the street to avoid. Bruised knuckles. Leather jacket. Eyes like warnings. Everyone calls him dangerous. I called him Angel. Once. As a joke. Because he showed up when he shouldn't have- ruined my night, saved my life, and looked at me like he regretted both. Now the nickname won't die. Not when he kisses me just to shut me up. Not when he punches the boy who touched me wrong. Not when he looks at me like I'm the only good thing he's ever seen. I'm supposed to be perfect. Future designer. Top student. A planned-out life. My father calls boys "distractions." Alec Donovan is the biggest distraction I've ever met. The kind that ruins your lipstick-and your destiny. But when the world gets loud, when my past catches up, when my father gets cruel, when everyone expects me to break- he shows up. Silent. Breathing hard. Eyes full of something he refuses to name. He's the only boy who's ever protected me. The only one who scares me. The only one who truly sees me. He Is My Angel... even if he looks like the devil. ˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ "At least I'm not hiding behind anger!" He moved before I could breathe. One moment across the table, the next-right in front of me, his hand braced against the wall beside my head. His other hand slid into his pocket, casual and tense all at once. "Careful," he said, voice low enough to vibrate in my chest. "You're saying a lot of things you don't mean." ˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

Fourteen years after surviving the night her kingdom fell, Madeline lives quietly as a village teacher-unaware that her past is slowly walking back into her life. When she meets a charming stranger with ocean-blue eyes, fate begins pulling them together... and towards secrets buried in blood, betrayal, and a stolen throne. As forgotten memories resurface and enemies draw near, Madeline must face a truth that could destroy the only person she has learned to trust. Some bonds heal. Some break. But some... were never meant to exist.

In the quiet town of Paradise, Lyra has spent her life hiding in plain sight-haunted by dreams that feel like memories, chased by whispers no one else can hear. She tells herself she's ordinary... until the day a stranger walks into her café and everything tilts. Alastor Morningstar is no ordinary man. Son of Lucifer. Heir to the Shadow Realm. Executioner of angels. A creature who vowed never to love-and has never once broken a vow. Until Lyra. Because Lyra isn't merely a girl with gentle smiles and soft laughter. She is the Hollow-born-an omen Heaven wants erased and Hell wants claimed. Angels hunt her. Demons circle her. And in the corners of her dreams, something ancient watches, waiting for her to remember its name. As the realms slide toward war, Alastor is torn between desire and duty, loyalty and damnation. And Lyra must face what she is becoming-power forged of ash and flame, destined either to restore balance... or end creation. Love can be salvation. Love can be ruin. And in a world where vows demand blood, devotion becomes a weapon. Heaven says destroy her. Hell says bind her. He says-mine.
