When Death is punished for saving a teen pop star's life rather than taking it, he gets stuck on Earth for much longer than intended. ******* Vance Johnson didn't expect to be saved by Death just moments before being paired with him on Magix, an app that takes the world by storm by pairing a FairFolk and human.

Perhaps all those flaming sparks of hatred between Vance and James could be something else but would Vance risk it to meet his goals? After all, playing with Death might not be the wisest choice of all. **** Trigger warning: contains anxiety, mild violence,

Eighteen-year-old cadet Lara Lorensky has one goal: to win the Selection, the only way people on Earth can ascend to NovaTopia, a utopia-like space shuttle orbiting the planet. Unfortunately, her longtime rival, Morgan Sánchez, also has the same goal--and their almost undefeated record in practices is Lara's biggest obstacle to victory. When an unexpected terrorist attack destroys Morgan's cyber arm, Lara's chances to win are significantly increased. But... what is the point of winning if her rival is not in their top condition? Plagued by guilt and a feeling she does not quite understand yet, Lara decides to help Morgan find a cyberlimb mechanic. As she ventures outside her sheltered bubble, Lara realizes that everything she was taught was a lie, including her identity. Perhaps the utopia she was fighting for all her life was also an illusion. Together, Lara and Morgan have a new goal: to find out the truth of Lara's identity--and the truth behind NovaTopia. {Part I COMPLETED!

When life turns into horror, will you pray or will you prey? After five years of him asking, Karoliina Hautamäki relents and brings her boyfriend to Iron Lake, her deeply religious hometown in Finland's arctic circle. The midsummer visit is marred when her father passes from Covid, though it is the inexplicable deaths that follow that truly throw life off its path. A virus is what most consider it, but in Iron Lake, it is understood as the Sin. The only cure-confession. Karoliina's brother Aatami is heralded as their saviour, the one who has prayed people back from the edge of death. The internet crashes, phone service dies, society collapses. The government attempts to control the contamination by enforcing military quarantines across the country. What was intended as a brief visit turns into a year and a half with no end in sight. When Karoliina's childhood best friend asks for her help to discover the true cause of the deaths, Karoliina rejects it without consideration. But with her brother's glory grating on her, she might desire her own moment of recognition, even if it comes with the risk of all that is Isolde. In the vengeance of mid-winter, Iron Lake is crueller than ever. And amongst prayers is where predators most easily hide.

[UNDER EDITING] The princess. A role more symbolic than powerful, a position more caging than liberating. A life more dreadful than joyous. It's a wonder to the people why Princess Lantana ran from her position. Yet, free in the forest, Lantana never felt more jubilant. The General. A man of stoic brutality, his name laced with fear tied to the battlefield. A man who's surprisingly level-headed for a man of war, yet wholly devoted to the crown. When the General returns Lantana to her gilded lifestyle, she's swept into a world of ballgowns and delicacies, yet tension is simmering beneath the golden folds of her dresses or the foundations of the castle. Tension pulled from the deepest roots of the world, pressure waiting to explode. For the King made a dreadful bargain, one with divine consequences. *** TW: Descriptions of violence, war, death, mild swearing.
