In a world where five cities are shaped by fire, water, shadow, ash, and thought, five young outcasts awaken impossible powers and an even more impossible destiny. Drawn together by a force they cannot name, they form The Incredulous, a roaming, enchanted circus that moves between worlds.

Vows of the Stranger is a romance-drama that follows Czarina Maurice Vielle Tuazon, a determined architect shadowed by her family's troubled past, and Atty. Thyrone Vinn Arryl Montefalco, a brilliant yet emotionally guarded lawyer bound by the weight of familial duty. When a decades-old agreement between their powerful families forces them into an arranged marriage, they find themselves navigating a union built on obligation rather than affection. As long-buried secrets and betrayals come to light, both must confront the legacies that bind them and decide whether to honor the vow imposed upon them or break free in pursuit of a love they never anticipated. Can two strangers, tied by a vow, discover something real amid the lies, the pain, and the legacy?

Alex was born into privilege, James into questions, yet their lives have always been intertwined. Between the polished halls of Boston and the sun-bleached ruins of a forgotten island, they will stumble into secrets far older than themselves, and emotions far more dangerous than they can admit. But prophecy is never simple. Someone is coming. Someone who will turn friendship into fire, test loyalty until it breaks, and shatter everything Alex and James thought they knew about love, history, and themselves. This is not just a story of two teenagers on the edge of discovery. It is the beginning of a journey that will follow them as they grow, stumble, and rise, until the choices of youth shape the destiny of adults. Some mysteries can rewrite the past. Others decide the future. Author's Disclaimer She of the Blue and Gold is an original work of fiction inspired by the public-domain legends and elements of ancient Greek mythology.

Rosette Jordan's life has always been ordinary - quiet days in a small bookshop, surrounded by stories she'll never live. That all changes the moment a mysterious, untitled book arrives. Drawn by curiosity, she opens it... and falls into a world twisted by a curse called the Withering. Forests bleed ash. Creatures move like nightmares. The land itself seems alive, watching, remembering. In this world of danger and shadows, Rosette meets Prince James - someone marked by secrets, scars, and magic that comes at a cost. Together, they must navigate a kingdom on the brink of collapse, where trust is fragile, every choice carries consequences, and even friendship could be deadly. But the deeper Rosette ventures, the more she realizes the truth: she may have been brought here for a purpose she doesn't want - and surviving may mean losing everything she thought she knew about life, loyalty, and herself.
