As Ophelia journeys down the darkest corridors of her subconscious, she uncovers secrets best left buried. With every line crossed, the phantom gaze tightens its grip.

The sky broke centuries ago, and the world has never truly healed. When the Veil separating the realms shattered during the Sundering, it left behind a wound known as the Veilscar. Beyond its borders, corruption twists the land and warps magic into something feared as much as it is revered. Though kingdoms endure beneath the watch of angels and ancient faith, the fragile peace they have built is beginning to crack. Seraphina has spent her life believing the Veil must be protected at any cost. Raised to serve the Crown and obey the truths she was taught, she has never questioned her purpose. Until a mission into the scarlands changes everything. After surviving an encounter that should have killed her, Seraphina begins to experience impossible visions and awaken powers tied to the very force she has spent her life fearing. As long-buried secrets rise to the surface, she finds herself caught between Prince Leo, the future king she has sworn to follow, and Kael, a mysterious stranger who seems to know more about her than she does herself. The deeper Seraphina searches for answers, the more she uncovers a history built on lies. Ancient sanctuaries are awakening. Forgotten powers are stirring. And something beyond the Veilscar has been waiting for her. Because the truth about the Sundering could reshape everything the realms believe about their history, their faith, and their future. And before it is over, Seraphina may have to decide whether the world is worth saving as it is-or whether it was always meant to become something new.

Sequel to Moving world's but can be read as stand alone It is the best feeling ever, so great that you can't truly describe it. It's something otherworldly, a deep connection that consumes you. When I had met him it was like I had a tumour, it had started in my heart. Before metastasising, spreading to every depth of my body. A disease that doesn't need treatment, an illness that becomes the only thing keeping you going. He saved me and cursed me at the same time, a curse that leaves me eternally his." Zephaniah softly told him, her eyes distant, her feelings resurfacing.

The clerical cloak given to him to confine him to the ways of The Moon God instead let Festor stay invisible as he quietly grew his rebellion. Festor's hidden alliance - called L'Sunder - seeks to mix both the cultures and divine magics of the world's major cosmic deities. The time has come for him to start pushing his initiative publicly, an effort for unity he hopes will change the world for the better. Or, in the eyes of the current head of a priestly bloodline deemed near-royalty, Half-Moon Davodson Lunik the Fifth, shatter the universe's stability entirely. Influential, wealthy, and relentlessly devout, Lunik is Festor's biggest threat. Conference after conference seems to bring the two rivals much too close for comfort, threatening to expose L'Sunder out from under the radar. Much as they want to believe it, neither party is wholly virtuous nor villainous, each finding the game - and their adversary - growing more complicated the more cards they play. Festor just hopes he'll make it out with the upper hand. I'm writing this story as a teaser for my visual novel Project Grandfather Clock - demo coming this winter.
