"How fitting that a storyteller should find a library, or a rooftop woven with words."

A land plagued by roses. A city of red and gold. The question of how a secret becomes a story or if it was a simple fable all along. For Lena Manfred, moving to a new home began as a simple choice; an appropriate place for a fairy-tale to begin (but one that naturally changed its course, as all stories do).

In the city of Ineffable, none of the books are so black and white, and instead there are libraries filled with contradictions much like the people that inhabit their spaces. Tightly bound together like the printed pages, everyone in the city has sometimes found themselves lost in the clouds. But when the weather turns less magical and those who can't stand to watch it burn have fled, Lena's story writes itself into survival. A story about the dangers of the warped mind, and unsticking the line between logic and imagination.

Elyra: Legend Reborn by AoNoNgao
11 parts Ongoing
There is a force older than time itself, flowing unseen through the land, the skies, and the souls of those who walk this world. Some call it magic. Others, destiny. But in Elyra, power is not merely taken-it is earned, stolen, fought for, and sometimes... cursed upon the unworthy. The continent stretches endlessly, its lands carved by ancient wars and civilizations lost to history. Ruined cities stand as silent witnesses to battles long forgotten, their stone walls whispering secrets only the daring seek to uncover. Deep within the mountains, martial artists forge their bodies into weapons beyond human comprehension, their strikes capable of shattering steel. In the grand halls of scholars, mages bend the laws of reality, weaving spells that twist the very fabric of existence. Some claim magic is boundless, limitless in potential... but those who reach too far often find themselves consumed by forces they cannot control. But for every force that builds, another seeks to destroy. Beneath the surface, fire rages in an endless inferno, a realm where even the bravest fear to tread. High above, unseen hands pull at the strings of fate, shifting the balance of the world with every whisper. And hidden within sealed chambers, beings older than the stars slumber, their names long erased from mortal tongues. Legends speak of a kingdom that once ruled everything, a kingdom that no longer exists. Some say it was consumed by its own greed, others whisper of a power too great for the world to bear. Yet remnants remain-artifacts, symbols, fractured pieces of a puzzle scattered across the land, waiting for those foolish or ambitious enough to seek them. The air is shifting. The world stirs. Something is waking up. And when it does, Elyra will never be the same.

Icebound

5 parts Ongoing Mature

For 250 years, the world has been buried beneath ice and shadow. The Shroud swallowed the sky, putting the planet into an endless winter. The sun is nothing but a myth, and the last of humanity clings to survival in the underground cities. So does Odette Voss until the fall of Aetheris. Odette barely escapes, forced onto the frozen surface she's only heard horror stories about. The cold is brutal. The ruins are haunted by creatures that should not exist. And the few survivors left will do anything to stay alive but so will she. The only things keeping her going are the thoughs about her brother and the safe haven, Aurelia. If Kieran survived, she'll find him. If Aurelia is real, she'll reach it. And no matter what lurks in the ice, she'll be ready.
