Odessa Solavita dreams of eclipses she's never seen and a love that feels more like a curse. Beneath her mortal skin lies the soul of Selira, one of the Five Veiled Moons-a coven of celestial witches born under darkness and flame. Once, they wielded beauty and ruin in equal measure until Selira was stolen by a demon who swore he'd love her beyond death. That love shattered the coven. It damned them all. Centuries later, Odessa crosses paths with Kane Hendrix, the haunting lead singer of Crimson Hymns-a man whose voice drips with sin and sorrow, whose touch burns with something ancient and wrong. He is the very demon who broke the world for her once before. As Odessa's dormant magic begins to awaken, so do the memories she was never meant to recall. Love becomes a haunting melody, pulling her toward the truth-and toward the monster who would burn eternity just to have her again. But awakening her magic comes at a cost. The forces that once tore them apart are stirring, and the other Veiled Moons are not as lost as history would have her believe. The line between salvation and damnation blurs, until only one question remains: Is love still love when it was forged in ruin? In a world where magic is memory and music is a curse, "Crimson Hymns" is a darkly sensual tale of reincarnation, forbidden devotion, and the relentless gravity of souls that were never meant to part.

Months after the Descent, humanity learns the Ridge isn't a sanctuary-it's a network of sleeping vaults, each holding a version of the world that might have been. When one vault wakes too early, entire cities begin to duplicate and collapse in mirror patterns aboveground. Elias Monroe, Maya Ruiz, and Lyra Sol must navigate rival underworld factions-engineers, soldiers, and prophets-who all claim ownership of the Core's new voice: The Vault Mind. The war isn't for territory. It's for which memory becomes real.

Echoes of Atherion: The Riftborn Book I of the Echoes of Atherion Saga When six strangers from Earth are pulled through a fracture in reality, they awaken in a living world called Atherion-a realm that breathes, remembers, and judges. Each carries a mark that burns with an ancient element: Fire, Water, Wind, Stone, Spirit, and Void. Together, they are the Riftborn-chosen not by prophecy, but by the realm's desperate will to survive. Across the shattered continents of Atherion, a tyrannical force known as the Quiet Citadel is building a machine to rewrite creation itself: the False Song Engine. It feeds on the world's heartbeat, turning breath into obedience, life into silence. Guided only by the echoes of a long-dead queen whose messages come in fragments and riddles, the Riftborn must learn to master powers that answer more to fear than command-and face the truth that their arrival may have come too soon. As the Citadel's armies rise and the world itself begins to wake, Atherion's fate hinges on their unity. But every gift in this world demands a price, and every heartbeat counts toward a debt that someone must pay.
