The world has been frozen for thousands of years. No spring. No warmth. No end. No one remembers what it was like before. But Rhiannon was never meant to be like everyone else. Beneath her touch... the frost breaks. the earth breathes. and life returns where it shouldn't. It's a secret she was taught to bury. A power no one must ever see. Because in a world where magic has failed... something like her should not exist. Until one winter day, she's taken from the only place she's ever called home. And if she wants answers- if she wants to understand what's happening to the world around her- she has no choice but to work alongside the two men who took her in the first place. One watches her with quiet, lingering intensity. The other speaks in half truths, answering just enough to keep her from leaving. The more time she spends with them... the more the world begins to change. The stillness cracks. Ancient magic stirs. And things long buried beneath the snow begin to rise. Because the winter was never just a season. It was a consequence. And whatever caused it... isn't finished yet. Now Rhiannon is caught between the life she's always known and a truth she was never meant to uncover. Because the deeper she's pulled into their world- the more she begins to realize something far more dangerous: This power she tried so hard to hide... might be the very thing the world has been waiting for. ❄️ And if it finds her first... ❄️ there may be nothing left to save.

Centuries ago, the Veil split the world in half - a living scar that tore across the continent, poisioning the land caught in between. To contain it, six Pillars were raised, anchoring the Veil in place and keeping it from spreading. For generations, the world believed the system was stable. They were wrong. Those born on the night the Veil tore open were called Veilborn-and they were purged by the Drakovarre Highbloods. Every last one was hunted down and killed. All but one. Her name is Serai Elen Ashryn. Now, she survives in Lumeris as an assassin, taking contracts, keeping her head down, and never using the power that once marked her for death. Survival is all that matters - until Lumeris' Pillar fractures. And Serai realises the truth. These aren't minor cracks. The Pillars are starting to fail. If they collapse, the Veil won't disappear. It will expand - consuming cities, twisting reality, and tearing the Continent apart piece by piece. And the first man to arrive to repair it is the last one she ever wanted to see. Kaelen Drakovarre. Heir to the Highbloods. Son of the man who ordered the purge that killed her parents-and everyone like her. Kaelen wants the Veil destroyed. So does Serai. But working together means standing beside the legacy of the family that ruined her life-and trusting a man raised by the very system she wants to burn down. As the Pilalrs start to collapse and the Veil begins to spread, an ancient presence trapped within it starts whispering Serai's name. But every step closer to the Veil pulls her further from the girl she once was. Because Serai isn't breaking the world. She's the only thing holding it together. Veilbreaker is a dark fantasy filled with forbidden magic, slow-burn tension, ancient lies, and a girl standing at the edge of something far worse than darkness.

(Artwork by Smiscee) (PRIMARILY FOR NEW ADULTS [18+]) (YOUNG ADULTS [13-17] MUST READ WITH VIEWER DISCRETION) "Before the stars had names, there was a single, dangerous question: What is it to be?" Genesia, the life-giving Bestower, believes she has found the answer. Her vision: mortals. Beings of fleeting beauty, brittle bones, and boundless potential. But in the hallowed halls of the Novaen Reserti, her dream is viewed as a cosmic heresy. When the pantheon finally relents, the first man is born; Corsma. A "son of sons" forged from stardust who inadvertently binds the vibrant, hopeful Genesia to the brooding, solemn Armagen, the Harbinger of Endings. Together, they form an impossible family that defies the ancient laws of the gods. But as Corsma begins to walk the divine realms, he discovers that heaven is already rotting. A cancerous force of un-creation has awakened, and it is hunting the boy. To survive, the fledgling family must unite their opposing powers. But their true weapon isn't divine might, it's a power no god foresaw: the ability to weave meaning out of chaos. The first cracks in heaven have appeared. The First Canticle out of Seven has been released.
