[AMBYS WINNER 2024] Eccentric, troubled and undesirable, the Hargreaves twins Noah and Luna are often referred to as a curse upon mankind by the society of South Kerilia. And society is right. *** Luna Hargreaves is as unapproachable as they come, armed with poor manners, an uncanny interest in the occult and a fearsome bodyguard. All of them necessary according to her as she struggles to fend off the endless amounts of otherworldly horrors following her every footstep, as well as the threat of an unwanted fiancé. Ghostly adventures and unfortunate engagements are one thing, but when Luna and her brother's previously unknown origins begin unravelling in front of them, they soon find themselves with more knowledge than they would've preferred, and their identities crumbling before their eyes. Despite their best efforts to deny the fate designed for them and go about their lives, past drama creeps ever closer, and when a dire situation threatens the safety of their loved ones the twins come to realize they may need to embrace their nature in order to fight it.

PREQUEL TO PUPPET Tobias Florian had no place in the society of the old world, his life truly began when the world itself ended. Finally, with a purpose, a reason, he takes what he's learned through the years and builds up a military of surprising power. One of the only blockades to hold back the new government, he needs to be stopped, and the one they send is none other than Carter Abbott. Carter is a part of the "new government" that seeks to gain ultimate supremacy against those few left from the wars. He's tied up and chained to a world he wants no part of, his very identity at stake; all he knows is darkness in a world that used to shower in so much light. Carter is meant to infiltrate and return with information necessary to taking down Tobias and the military he had created, but what he finds there in Austria isn't at all what he expected, and he finds himself in a free fall he never thought could be possible. "When it starts it's all fire and sand, and when it's over it's all glass, and it's breakable and dangerous, and exactly what I have always wanted." ((rated M, will contain explicit content, sexual themes, self-harm, talk of suicide, blood, violence, & mature language.)) **cover art by crystalizedraine on INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/crystalizedraine/**
