19 year old Asher is excited to start his summer vacation at the beach with his friends. Away from the stress of college. Close to the beach he is in a terrible accident. Asher wakes up in the hospital, disoriented. His mother tells him that the driver of the car that drove into his lane had a heart attack, causing his motorcycle to veer off the road. He's upset but tries to keep his spirit high. While recovering he comes across another patient named Kale. Kale is quiet at first but opens up to Asher. When they get closer, he reveals to Asher why he is a long term patient at the hospital. Asher takes it upon himself to bring more sunshine into Kale's life and over time they naturally got closer...maybe a little too close. They both feel it, but neither of them name it, both scared. One day Kale tells Asher that his mother decided to move to a different city. The treatment seemed better, she told him. "Will I see you again?" Asher asks hopeful. "Maybe not in this lifetime, but I hope in the next. You pinky promised to show me the ocean after all. And pinky promises are always kept." Kale replies with a sad smile. And that's how Asher's summer love came to an end. Or is it?

Sebastian, a 16-year-old mortal boy, has just lost his only family - his mother, to cancer. Seeking refuge in his friend's house, he unexpectedly crosses paths with a knight from Inferia, a realm of fire. The knight takes Sebastian under his wing, teaching him the ways of the sword - a skill Sebastian struggles to master - while also revealing the ancient legends of the Crown Kingdom. As the knight shares the turbulent history of Inferia, Sebastian learns of the looming war between Inferia and Glaciana, a war tied to the fate of the youngest royal son, Prince Darian. Darian is promised to marry Princess Cecilia of Glaciana to prevent the war, but his elder twin brothers, Kael and Ellion, are already married to the Princesses of Wind and Earth to unite the realms under the rule of the All-Mighty King of Inferia. However, when the king dies, chaos ensues. Lesser houses begin to vie for the throne. Will the reckless and arrogant Darian ascend the throne, or will one of his brothers return to restore peace?

[Wattys 2024 Winner | Biggest Twist Award] From the slit-mouthed woman to cursed dolls and the Boogeyman, chilling urban legends have sprung to life in the idyllic Westwood City and shattered the peace that once graced its streets. But how did all these frightening tales come to be? Enter the Sagrado Family, keepers of a century-old secret. They are Bibliokinetics, a rare group of psychics with the uncanny ability to manipulate books and literary works. The family is headed by Levi Sagrado, also known as "the Librarian," who runs the Sagrado Library together with his three daughters. The eldest, Keena, a successful author with a fiery temper, is dubbed "the Writer." The youngest, Tavleen, a bubbly high school student, is "the Reader." While Alohi, the middle child, compensates for her lack of bibliokinetic powers with her inhuman strength and regenerative abilities, making her "the Gatekeeper." When the Monsters Playbook, one of the Library's most dangerous works, is stolen by a powerful and mysterious Book Thief, the Sagrados must use their powers and work together to seal the urban legends back. The family must balance this dangerous mission with their daily struggles, drama, and budding romances, all while ensuring the city's peace and safety.
