He left Hollow Creek chasing the spotlight. She stayed-and survived the dark. When Nathan West, a rising Hollywood star, returns to his small Pennsylvania hometown just days after Christmas, everyone assumes he's home for the holidays. No one knows the truth: fame cost him everything he loved. Hannah Collins never planned to see him again. Now twenty-six, living with her parents, and raising her one-year-old daughter, she's rebuilding a life shattered by a past no one knows about. Not the town. Not her friends. And definitely not the boy who once promised her forever. As snow falls and old memories resurface, Nathan is forced to face the life he missed-and the woman who became stronger without him. But some wounds run deeper than regret, and love doesn't erase the scars of survival. © 2025 V. Noire. All rights reserved. This is a work of fiction created by the author.

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.
