Atrix wakes up in the depths of a frozen cave, his body no longer his own. Scales, wings, claws-he's become a dragon, a creature of myth and legend. But his memories are gone. Who was he before this? Why is he a beast? And why does the void he escaped from haunt him like a shadow? As Atrix navigates the treacherous labyrinth of the Blizzardelle Mountains, he discovers that the cave is more than a prison-it's a gateway to ancient secrets, fulfilled prophecies that hint at a past life he can't remember. From monstrous snow-dune worms to sentient crystals whispering cryptic warnings, every step brings him closer to the truth... and closer to danger. Meanwhile, in the sunlit village of Amberhaven, Colleen, a sharp-witted healer with a knack for trouble, finds herself drawn to the mountains by a strange illness and the haunting whistle of the wind. She thinks the cure for the disease are hinted at in old legends. But Colleen isn't one to believe in legends either, and she has to decide which way to take it. As their paths collide, Atrix and Colleen must unravel the mysteries of the Blizzardelle Mountains and their dark history. But the deeper they dig, the more they realize that some truths are better left buried. And some feelings- like the growing bond between a dragon and a half-human- are too dangerous to ignore.

Each part a single story. Each part with new characters. People say mental health isn't talked about. But that's not true. It is talked about all the time. What isn't talked about is our inability to grow. It is so difficult to talk about mental health, but even once we do sometimes we find it hard to keep going and grow. To change our mindsets. I'm not saying it's easy, because it's one of the hardest things to do honestly. But no matter who you are. No matter what you've done. You are deserving of love and growth. You deserve to be happy! Please, follow me through the story of 'Motion', A mental health anthology that explores themes of self improvement. We all can improve when we receive external love and support, so how can we be held at fault when we don't? Though we need external love and support, don't forget! Show up for yourself! Healing and improvement start with you, and if you don't love yourself it will be hard for others to as well. Just keep going everyone! You got this!! You can do it! And just like us all, the characters in this novel are going through the motions.

Rex wakes up in a familiar, but strangely different world than his own. He has no memory of arriving in this place, and has the incessant feeling he must escape, or he'll be trapped in this unsettling world forever. Combined with the blood found on the ceiling in the spot where he woke up, the strange creatures that stalk him anywhere he goes, and the new girl he's met with extensive knowledge on where they are and what the creatures are, Rex knows that this place is unlike anywhere he has ever been before, and he must traverse it to escape it - which may be the death of him.

In a place built to erase them, they find something neither was ever meant to have. Each other. "I can feel it in my bones, in the way his heart stutters, the way it picks up speed when he thinks he hears something close. It's not the steady, indifferent rhythm of the others-the guards whose pulses thump in slow, practiced beats, weighted with boredom and routine. His is different. His is wrong. And I crave it." "The more I passed her room the more time I took to look at her, and the more time she took to study me. Her red eyes studied me in a smileless curiosity. She'd tilt her head and look at me upside down from the back wall. She'd always clench her fists to keep her fingers from twitching in my direction. She looked at me as if I was a light in a bottomless pit. Utterly, fascinating. Impossible to ignore. She's a mystery I'll likely never get to unravel." Rosie has been alone for as long as she can remember. No memories. No family. No name-at least, not one that belongs to her anymore. Only the hum of fluorescent lights, the sharp sting of needles, and the cold hands of doctors who carve her open and call it research. She's not a girl to them. She's an experiment. A monster in a cage. And over time, Rosie starts to believe it. Until one day... someone new looks back at her. Not a scientist. Not another test. A guard. A stranger cloaked in black, with storm-lit eyes and a heart that beats with the weight of thousdands of stolen risks. He isn't supposed to be here He carries secrets that could tear the world in two. She's the one they'll kill to keep hidden.
