Mythandmemory Stories

​In Harbor City, California, the truth is hidden beneath the surface. ​It's a place where the houses slide into the marsh, neighbors spy from behind their barbecues, and an unnamed alligator haunts the local lake. Everyone is desperately trying to be someone they aren't-except for one girl. ​Born into a hospital ward of fifty identical women all named Dora, Jessica was never meant to be. Saved by a grandmother's quick hand and a gust of salt air, she broke the cycle before she even took her first breath. ​This is the magical, slightly sinking story of growing up in the "Backbone" of the harbor-a world of Street Soldiers, Starches, and Fauxs-where the only way to keep from drowning is to find your own name.

A lamp buried for centuries. Three wishes bound by an ancient rule. And a story passed quietly from one generation to the next. When eighteen-year-old Bruno Silva stumbles upon a mysterious lamp on a storm-washed beach, he unleashes a power older than myth itself-a genie named Destiny Hope, bound by the Rule of Three. What begins as wonder soon becomes a lesson in consequence, restraint, and responsibility. Years later, the lamp passes to Bruno's son, Rowan, who learns that even mercy can disrupt the balance of the world. And generations after that, Lucia Clara Silva inherits what remains of the relic-long after magic has faded into half-remembered family stories. As Destiny awakens one final time, the Rule of Three reaches its end-not through greed or defiance, but through compassion, sacrifice, and choice. The Rule of Three is a modern myth about power learning restraint, mercy choosing cost, and the quiet truth that some magic does not grant wishes-it teaches us how to live without them.

Seventeen-year-old Rei Asano hears war drums in his chest when he's angry, and lately, they're always beating. Ever since a lightning storm cracked open the Tokyo skyline and nearly leveled his school, Rei's life has been unraveling: blackouts, hallucinations, bursts of electrical force he can't control. The truth? He's become the vessel of Raijin, the ancient Japanese god of thunder and destruction. And Raijin isn't just waking up. He's taking over. Then there's Kaori Tsukimura: sharp-tongued, tightly guarded, and hiding a quiet grief that runs deeper than anyone knows. She keeps her emotions locked away, until a whisper in the dark calls her by a name no one remembers-Inome, the goddess of love... and vengeance, erased from the divine pantheon centuries ago. When their paths collide, Rei and Kaori discover that their bond is more than coincidence-it's myth repeating itself. Raijin and Inome were once divine opposites: passion and restraint, war and yearning. Now, as their hosts grow closer, those ancient desires threaten to reignite with catastrophic force. Across the city, other teens are awakening as hosts to gods: some long-forgotten, some desperate to remain in control. Factions rise-one fighting to resurrect the erased, another determined to destroy them before the world tears open. With divine war on the horizon, Rei and Kaori must decide what's more dangerous: the gods within them, or the feelings pulling them together. But every time they touch, the Veil thins. Memories blur. The line between self and god fractures. And love, if it still belongs to them at all, might be the thing that ends everything.
