In a fictional world where people rely on power and survival, Two siblings grow up in a world with no parents.

By day, Elias Thorne was an Architect of Infrastructure, a man whose wealth came not from flash, but from deep, strategic investments in logistics and secure data networks. He managed his empire from a minimalist office suite overlooking the financial district, projecting an image of quiet competence, almost boredom. He was a master of routine: bespoke tailoring, a specific high-quality dark roast coffee, and meetings that ran exactly on time. This persona was his camouflage-the perfect, unremarkable surface that hid the terrifying function beneath. He had perfected the art of observing the world without ever truly engaging with it, making him an invisible, highly effective predator. Until he met her.

The worst fears of a modernised, ingenious world come to life. Militarised police trudged through streets polluted with fear and those who tried to run. The first moment it came to light was when I was in school. I got asked out by a boy, and that boy turned out to be Robbie Nelson. The disease wasn't just one thing; the very thing they wanted to destroy was democracy and opinion, freedom and complete liberty. This world was governed by people under an authoritarian rule, and was the very reason why those who survived in cities and not under mountains of rock had to breathe under orange skies and soul-crushing rules. This was what the world turned into in a matter of days, and who or what made it happen...I knew. I knew everything. And that was all because of Robbie Nelson.

In a nation ruled by surveillance, obedience, and the iron grip of the Burnham dynasty, seventeen-year-old Parker Stephens never imagined he'd become a fugitive-or that his own government would try to kill him. When the country's flawless tracking system, *Version 56*, begins to fail for the first time in history, panic ripples through the nation. Citizens vanish. Borders shift. And anyone who steps out of line is thrown into rehabilitation... or worse. Demetria Hargrove, a top academy graduate destined to marry into the Burnham family, is dragged into the investigation. But when she uncovers corruption far darker than she ever imagined, she chooses to run-straight into the paths of two criminals the government wants erased. Now bound together by survival, Parker, Amber, Mateo, and Demetria race through abandoned towns and fractured loyalties as the system collapses around them. Trust is fragile. Secrets are deadly. And every flicker of a watch screen could mean discovery... or death. As rebellion sparks across the country and the Burnham legacy begins to crumble, these four unlikely allies must decide what-and who-is worth saving before their world disappears for good.

Tasked with the mundane duty of tax collection, Sol stumbles upon a labyrinth of dark truths that threaten to shatter the country's tentative tranquility after the end of the Great War. As he grapples with his newfound knowledge, he faces a daunting choice: to expose the secrets to the powers that be, risking his own safety at the hands of the sinister Cult of Lilith, or to remain silent and watch as darkness consumes his homeland. In a tale of intrigue and deception, Sol must navigate treacherous waters where allegiances shift like the sands of time, and the fate of Myca hangs in the balance.

"Man, I miss when being the chosen one just meant the threat of being blown up by an evil wizard." Astral Smith - a stoic autistic teenager - just existed. It wasn't so good in that little corner of england sometimes, but she saw no reason to complain. That is until some weirdos burn down her house and drag her through a rip in the universe into a pretty little magical kingdom. That's an experience to begin with, but she soon discovers that the king wakes up to daily assassinations, the country council really doesn't want to be here and bizzare things go on in the name of religion. Anyway, she's apparently the final hero in a team picked by a disowned family of prophets who have an obsession with fashion design. Whichever one of them came up with that idea should really be disowned themselves, because who'd seriously put a snotty wannabe princess, the doctor's overworked son, a cherubic girl who could make the world drop dead with the click of her fingers, and the world's most cowardly lord of darkness and cold under Astral's rule? That's what she would ask the ancestors - hero-worshipped supreme creators of the universe - if it weren't for the fact that the lead ancestor vanished into midair on a random Tuesday and the sparkly bird taking their place is not your average magical mentor. In fact, he really should be fired. Armed with the misguided support of a faithless kingdom, an incomprehensible and disastrous magical quest, really-quite-nice-when-you-get-used-to-them new family and friends and a double life, Stellarvoice focuses on themes of making the best of new chapters, standing up for what's right even if nobody else seems to know or care what that means, and love of all kinds - from family, to friends, to romance, lead by a defiant chosen one who is much more than a prophet's words..

When lies and secrets begin to unfurl, will we still have a shot at peace and happiness? Or will it disappear right before our eyes.
