In the last inhabited town on earth, on a misty island, in a black ocean lives a boy named Rafael. Rafael lost his first and only love to the sea, and now is apprenticed to her father, an alcoholic ex-sea captain, haunted by an unquenchable conviction and an undying grief.
When a prophetic hermit meets an uncanny death, Rafael and his friends begin to suspect the world they had been taught to accept is not the true world. Their reality begins to turn inside out as they discover what's really been going on in the woods, and behind the closed doors of the College. As the voice of a ghost begins to guide Rafael, he begins to wonder why he recognizes her voice; and what could she mean by the "Helm of Nations"?
Rafael has no choice but to open his eyes to reality, and the real world is nothing like he'd ever imagined.

ALL THAT WAS LEFT BEHIND
Imagine a box. Any box you want. It could be a vintage chestnut chest imported from France, or a simple moldy cardboard box. Either way, it serves the same purpose, being shoved away in the corners of your dusty attic, with a variety of miscellaneous forgotten treasures. You never realise it's up there, abandoned in the thick coating of dust and neglect, until one day, it's all gone. It's always gone just when you discover that its contents may have been key to uncovering the troubled past of that box. But how much would it matter? How far would you go to retrieve the lost broken reveries? My name is Sea. It's a strange name, I know, especially since I can't recall ever being near a sea, but my folks have always been rather strange people. At least, from what I can remember. I've never really known them, but my whole life has been formed around their existence. The things I have learned from them could be looked at as troubled lessons of the world I lived in, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, accepting that fact could only be the beginning. This is all that I had gained from my life, and everything my parents gave me. This is all that they had left behind.Lengkap
THE RECKONING: RISE OF THE FORGOTTEN
When archaeologist Anna Caldwell returns to the coastal town of Blackwater Cove following her grandfather Richard's mysterious death, she uncovers dark secrets buried for generations. A cryptic voicemail, strange markings throughout town, and a hidden journal lead her to investigate an abandoned well where something ancient was imprisoned thirty years ago. Alongside Deputy Mark Morton, Anna discovers the terrible truth: beneath Blackwater lurks an ancient entity that has demanded sacrifice for centuries. Every thirty years, three people disappear-a covenant established by the town's founder, Captain Jeremiah Blackwater, to ensure the town's prosperity. But in 1991, Anna's grandfather and two others attempted to break this cycle by binding the entity, using Anna's mother as an unwilling sacrifice. Now the binding is failing. Townspeople sleepwalk toward the harbor. Water turns blood-red. Strange symbols appear on walls. And Anna experiences disturbing changes as blue-green light pulses beneath her skin-the entity is transforming her, just as it once tried to transform her mother. The truth is more terrifying than Anna imagined. All three founding families-Caldwell, Morton, and Reeves-share a bloodline connected to the entity itself. For generations, it has been guiding their genetics toward creating a perfect vessel: Anna. As a massive storm cuts Blackwater off from outside help, Anna faces three choices: complete the original binding ritual with the blood of all three families, provide the sacrifices the entity demands, or attempt a third option-a ritual of transformation where she becomes a bridge between worlds. In a race against time, Anna must confront her partially-transformed mother on a mysterious island and complete what was interrupted thirty years ago. Her decision will determine not just Blackwater's fate but potentially humanity's relationship with ancient intelligences that have existed in Earth's oceans since before mankind walked upright.Lengkap
The Phantom of the Woods
In the quiet, superstitious town of Hollow's End, whispers circulate about a boy who lives deep in the woods-a boy cursed with half the face of a skeleton, feared by all who dare to speak his name. The townspeople warn that the forest is haunted, urging everyone to stay far from its shadowy borders. Lily, a daring 19-year-old who has never believed in old tales, sneaks into the woods one night, driven by her unshakable curiosity. There, she meets Kael, a mysterious and brooding figure whose life has been marred by a curse that forced him into isolation. Kael, now 23, lives alone in a secluded cabin, hiding behind a mask that conceals the skeletal half of his face. To his surprise, Lily isn't frightened by his appearance-she sees past the curse to the man he truly is. As the two grow closer, their bond begins to challenge the very beliefs that have kept Kael isolated for years. But the curse that haunts Kael runs deeper than anyone in the town knows. As Lily delves into the mystery of what really happened to Kael, she discovers that the curse isn't just about his appearance-it's tied to a dark secret that could destroy them both. In The Phantom of the Woods, Lily and Kael must face the unknown together, unearthing the truth behind the curse and testing whether love can break through the barriers of fear and isolation. Their journey leads them into the heart of the forest's darkness, where secrets, danger, and the very essence of Kael's humanity are at stake.Lengkap![Blooming Blue [Pearl x Fem reader]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/319476696-256-k584370.jpg)

Awakening
This story was previously known as "The Awakening". ~*~ "One... two... three... one... two... three... a million... is that number right?" A figure less voice echoed. "Hello? Who's there?" Caliope asked, focusing on that voice. "One... two... who? A million... a billion... no, it's more... a legion..." Silence. She had seen too many horror movies and heard too many stories about that single word to overpass its meaning. The voice went quiet, yet she was still unable to see where it came from. She rubbed her eyes and all she could see around her was a thick path in a jungle-like scene. She didn't remember how she got there, but she knew it was for something important. Her eyes focused on the far end of the path and all she could see were more trees. She turned to the opposite side and found just the same. "One... two... billions... but always back at one..." the voice resumed it's counting. "Where are you? Who are you?" ~*~ -Her name is Caliope, and when she was a young girl, she never believed in happy endings. For her, there was nothing more than what you see in front of you. All she needed was her best friend Vanessa. Her background is very simple; a foster child with foster parents that were everything but warm and caring. Regardless of that, she became a smart and responsible young woman, ready for whatever came her way. At least that is what she thought. Her new job interview changed her life. It changed everything she ever believed in, and what she thought it was real. Her new boss is an amazing woman who has a son, something different from what he is made out to be. As she discovers the hidden truth about her boss and her son, she has to prepare herself for a whole new world that will unfold to her. ~*~ Intro collaboration with my loyal reader @GabrielleCarden Original Picture from the cover made by Marcus J. Ranum ~*~ This story has erotic scenes, religious perspectives, and judgment. Be warned and read at your own risk.Lengkap
Jasper x Fem! Reader (NOT FINISHED, but enjoy as is ✨)
A Jasper x Reader fan-fiction I can't say I know where this story will go...but I do hope you guys enjoy it! I've read a few Jasper x Reader fanfics, but the good ones were never finished, so I decided to write my own. "You moved to Beach City a few months after you graduated with a bachelor's in English literature. You wanted a change in pace, and living in the big city with your mom just wasn't your speed anymore. Of course, you still visit her from time to time, but you loved the smell of the ocean and the peace and quiet of your dad's hometown." The cover photo, nor any other photos I will be using belong to me! Steven Universe characters do not belong to me either, they belong to Rebecca Sugar! The only characters that belong to me are the ones that are not Steven Universe characters!Lengkap
