Set in the distant future in an alternate world, where the privileged are all powerful and the disadvantaged struggle to survive, seventeen year old Allie will do anything to save her brother from a fate worse than death. Allie did something wrong, she defied the laws of the Govern but now her brother must suffer the punishment that was meant for her - Bleaching and being transported to the Colony in the Other World. Unable to face the cruelty of his sentence and her part in it, Allie decides to save him.

In the glittering chaos of the city's elite, Sienna Thorne doesn't play games-she wins them. Fierce, untouchable, and brilliant, she's built her career by keeping her emotions locked behind stilettos and sarcasm. But when she's forced to work with Rein Caldor, the arrogant, sharp-tongued heir to an empire of shadows, her control begins to unravel. He's everything she hates: smug, dominant, and devastatingly magnetic. Their meetings spark like lightning-tempers flare, insults fly, and tension crackles just beneath the surface. But behind Rein's cold exterior lies a past laced with secrets, and behind Sienna's fire is a heart aching to be touched. Enemies by fate. Partners by force. Temptation by accident. What starts as war turns into something they can't name-something of the heart.

When Axel's favourite game, Oath of Eternum, glitches mid-battle, he's pulled into its world, not as the hero he's mastered, but as the game's feared villain. With years of gameplay knowledge but trapped in the villain's armour, Axel must survive encounters with the legendary hero while resisting the role the world demands he play. Every choice twists the game's reality, and the line between scripted enemies and living, breathing people is fuzzy. But the deeper Axel fights against the game, the more the world itself begins to tear apart. And when a hooded figure steps out of the shadows claiming to be himself, but older, crueler, and long lost to the game, Axel realises escape might come at the cost of becoming the very monster he swore he wasn't.

Alexis Machine is a bad guy... or is he? Well, Yes... yes he is, but just because someone is bad does not mean they deserve to be treated like an animal. Revenge is best served raw.

I write this only as an homage to the master, without permission. If he wants me to remove it, I will right away. But I hope not... it's fun to let your dark half out once in a while.
