THREADS OF TIME
"Threads of Time" Max Carter was just a quiet high schooler, buried in books and equations-until the day he stumbled across a formula that would change his life forever. When he accidentally invents a time machine, Max thinks he's stumbled upon the ultimate discovery. But soon, he learns that time travel isn't as simple as it seems-and that there are others who will do anything to control it. With the Chrono Order, a secretive organization that regulates time travel, hot on his heels, Max must team up with the mysterious and dangerous Eva, a fellow time traveler with her own dark past. Together, they race to reclaim Max's stolen machine, facing treacherous betrayals, high-stakes break-ins, and deadly time traps. As the lines between friend and foe blur, Max must decide how far he's willing to go to protect the future-and if he's prepared to face the consequences of tampering with time. Will Max outwit the Chrono Order, or will their grasp on time prove to be too powerful?

Elyra: Legend Reborn
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.
