Nyla has spent years keeping her head down in the Hollow, healing the wounded, raising her young assistant, and staying invisible to the Empire that rules beyond the valley. That illusion ends the night an Imperial prince rides through her village with his feared entourage, hunting a fugitive. By dawn, the prince is found broken and bleeding in the snow. Nyla never intends to save him. Her oath leaves her no choice. Barius wakes stripped of title and memory, bound only to the healer who kept him alive. But when his past begins to surface, so does the truth: he is not a man the Hollow can afford to shelter and Nyla is not a woman the Empire will allow to remain untouched. As power closes in and loyalties fracture, Nyla is forced into the heart of Imperial politics, while Barius must choose between the man he was bred to be and the one he has become. In a world where mercy is dangerous and love is leverage, trust may prove the deadliest choice of all.

I'm a Regulator-a law-enforcement agent who monitors the creatures of the Netherworld to keep them from wreaking havoc in the mortal world. When a dark-arts warlock is murdered and I was the last person to see him alive, I've got two choices. Either figure out whodunnit before I'm deported back to the Netherworld, or before I become the next victim. So, yeah, it's really more like I've got one choice. Enter Knight Vander, a cocky investigator sent from the Netherworld to work the case with me. Knight is what's called a Loki and he's the first of his kind I've ever come across. He was created by Hades, in Hades' own image and can I just say that Hades must have been pretty hot... Yeah, Knight is the sexiest guy I've ever seen but he's also bossy, demanding, and way too convinced of his own self-importance. As the body count increases, I find myself having to keep a sadistic demon in check all the while fending off the advances of a super powerful vampire, Bram. And dealing with Knight isn't exactly a walk in the park. Sometimes working law enforcement for the Netherworld is a real...

Henry, a seasoned ice scout, is tasked with hunting down Tarina, a rogue scout who's been siphoning energy from anchored ice balls, rendering them useless for the bridge to Proxima Centauri. Each theft delays the mission, threatening the slow behemoths-massive ships carrying humanity's remnants-that rely on these resources. But when Henry finds Tarina, he discovers the thief isn't hoarding for greed. She is creating a fragile sanctuary since she won't sacrifice herself for a centuries-long doomed plan. Tarina's defiance forces Henry to question his own loyalty, culminating in a choice that could redefine his purpose-or end it.

SUMMARY: Time is running out for Colleen Carlyle, a young political aide blessed with extraordinary power by a rift in reality; The Fracture. In a desperate attempt to curry favor with her boss, Senator Simon Hendrix, and use his influence to protect her kind, the unbound, she all but seals their extinction. Hope remains as Colleen's father, The Shaper himself created a time machine, split into four shards each protected by veterans of a war fought between humanity and the unbound. Now, pursued by Ozzy Madson, an aged jazz musician and deadly assassin, Colleen and her boyfriend Raf must collect the shards of The Shaper's Timepiece with the hopes of undoing her catastrophic mistake. But power has its price, and the price to control fate is far steeper than Colleen bargained for. SIMILAR FEEL TO: Arcane, Twin Peaks, Succession AUDIENCE: Ages 18-45, Millennials and Gen Z who want a slow burning, emotionally charged adventure that speaks on themes of empathy, failure, generational trauma, and political power dynamics. NOT FOR: Readers who are looking for easy answers to complex problems, a beach read, action every other chapter, melodrama, despite the opening two chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 are designed to show you "what could be," and that needs to be seen first. As I will always say, I am willing to lose readers over this tonal shift. SENSITIVITY: Graphic Violence, Language, Light Surreal-Horror, Mental Health struggles and conversations. Sexuality is limited to a "Friendship/partnership relationship." rather than steamy male/female gaze, with the occasional compliment, passionate kiss and cuddle. I try to treat this subject with healthy respect. ZERO Explicit material or "taboo" subjects related to sexuality.
