In every perfect world, there's one imperfect town. In this one, it's Phoenix Drop-birthplace of miracles, magic, and mysteries best left untouched. Long ago, Saintess Irene battled her corrupted lover Shad in a clash that shaped history. Her relics now lie buried beneath Phoenix Drop, radiating the remnants of her divine power. Her blessing scattered across the land, giving rise to werewolves, meifas, witches, and warlocks. And in the shadows, a cult has spent generations trying to bring Shad back. Their attempts always begin the same way: with murder. When a fresh wave of killings interrupts what should've been a normal senior year, two students refuse to pretend everything is fine. Andromeda Thorne-a ghost-talker with a sketchbook full of death scenes she didn't witness. Aaron Lycan-equal parts reluctant guardian and chaos-enabler, who protects Andromeda from everything except herself. The murders circle around a wide-eyed freshman girl, and the case is officially labeled unsolvable. But Andromeda and Aaron are anything but official, and they're definitely not stopping. As they unravel a conspiracy entwined with centuries-old divine warfare, the truth becomes clear: Phoenix Drop's darkest story is happening again. And this time, the heroes investigating it might not survive long enough to solve it. Their hunt will follow them beyond graduation, all the way to Falconclaw College-because some mysteries refuse to stay dead. (A Phoenix Drop High fanfiction inspired by Aphmau's universe.)

E SE O SEU FILHO NÃO NASCESSE APENAS COM UMA ALMA, MAS TAMBÉM COM UMA ENTIDADE PERTURBANDO POR DENTRO? Esqueça tudo o que você sabe sobre o mal. No universo de Pequenos Demônios, o maior tabu da humanidade virou uma regra de sobrevivência biológica: desde o "Primeiro Choro", cada bebê que nasce é obrigado a receber um demônio no peito para servir de "âncora". Sem essa simbiose maldita, a alma humana simplesmente colapsa e some no vazio. O amor paterno virou vigilância armada, e a sociedade aprendeu a chamar a possessão de "normalidade". Tudo muda na Creche São Cipriano com a chegada de Miguel. Ele não é um caso médico ou um garoto negligenciado. Ele é algo infinitamente mais aterrorizante: um ser humano puro. O espécime original. Uma anomalia genética e espiritual tão violenta que sua mera presença funciona como um solvente universal. O sistema imunológico da realidade entrou em colapso. O coral do ginásio virou um matadouro onde as leis da física se dobram como papel molhado e o chão engole os culpados. O que acontece quando a mentira cósmica de 300 anos é estilhaçada pela inocência letal de uma criança de quatro anos? Prepare-se para o terror estético mais visceral, explícito e perturbador que você já leu. Quanto tempo você aguenta olhar para o vazio quando ele começar a apagar a tua existência?
