In the drowned shadows of the Louisiana bayou, a starving wolf follows an impossible scent to a flower that should not exist, and becomes a man who should not return. Declan Laroux awakens from instinct into memory, from beast into alchemist, with only fragments of his past and a single certainty: his forgotten hometown of Vieux Marais is in grave danger. The town festers in secrecy, its people warped by unseen corruption, its church ruled by a predator in a priest's collar, and its streets haunted by sins that remember his name. Though he does not yet recall what he once did there, everyone else does-and they fear him for it. As Declan digs deeper, old alliances coil back to life: a snooping journalist who learns too much, a dangerous woman bound to a demon, a shadow-loyal servant with a taste for blood, and something ancient and nameless squeezing against the town's borders like a malignant hand. Armed with forbidden potions and a will sharpened by reckless pride, Declan vows to cleanse Vieux Marais. But the deeper he descends into its rot, the clearer one truth becomes: the greatest evil in the town may not be what waits for him in the dark... but what waits for him in his own heart.

How many lives must be ruined to create a "hero"? Empress Calypso Berenice lived and died as an unwritten footnote, the forgotten wife of the male lead, executed by a villain to further a plot she didn't even know she was in. But when a near-death experience in a frozen lake shatters her reality, she awakens with the memories of Park Hanbyeol, a modern-day music producer who once read Calypso's life as a tragic novel and hated every word of it. The world has reset, and the main characters have returned with their memories intact, ready to resume their bloody path to glory. But there's a glitch in the narrative: the "extra" has come back, too. Calypso was never meant to be part of the story, let alone remember it. Now, armed with the knowledge of a future that discarded her, she must navigate a court of vengeful protagonists and power-hungry leads. If the story demands her ruin to make the heroes shine, Calypso is ready to tear out the pages and write a masterpiece of her own. *** Featured in: @WattpadDarkFantasy @WattpadTimeTravel @WattpadAlternateUniverse @anime @WattpadAsianFantasy @StoriesUndiscovered @WattpadHistoricalRomance @Fantasy @lowfantasy @HistoricalFiction *** WARNING: This story is mature due to the heavy topic such as mental health, trauma, etc, so please read with caution.

When mechanized humans, known as "augs" fell prey to a whole new set of viruses aimed at controlling them, they were imprisoned out of fear. Anyone caught with any robotic implants were sent to the Helion prison complex, and purged from normal society. Even those who used to serve humanity. One such aug, Red, imprisoned for seven years in Helion dreams of escape. Initially recalled and stripped of his command of Aphelion, he dreams of escape which begins to shape into a reality when a new augment is dropped into the facility. One whose very identity would mean death from either side of the conflict. But one whose abilities could lead Red to New Elysium, freedom and the ability to take back what was stolen from him. 1st Place in the 2017 Crowning Gem Awards Science Fiction Category 3rd place in the 2017 Reach for the StarsScience Fiction winner! 3rd Place in the 2017 TickTock Awards Sci-Fi Category! 3rd place in the 2017 Zombie Awards Science Fiction Category!
