Phife's hometown is safe. It may be nothing more than a melting-pot of bums and runaways, but from her room at the top of the pristine Askan Cathedral, it is her best chance at a better life; one that doesn't involve being her family's shadow. It takes a rebel wannabe, a prodigy with much bigger ambitions, and local stray-turned-legend for her to realize that her plans for a life of freedom involve an unexpected side plot. Aska is on the verge of a major water famine, one that will effect each of the land's nine species equally. In an otherwise colorless world, the Green Land is the nation's only hope for a new water source, they just have to find it. Phife finds herself pulled into the crowd of lake-seekers, hungry for clean water and starving for coin. Separated from the group, a government conspiracy surrounding her own father, and an unanticipated danger lurking in the Green Land cause Phife and her friends to question the premise of it all.

Edenfall | Book 1 of The Ash Garden Series
Centuries of war left the world in ashes. Nations fought endlessly over dwindling resources, turning families against each other and weaponizing everything-from bombs to bioweapons to genetics itself. The once-vibrant continent of Virelia, an expansive supercity, became a desert. From this devastation rose Rafri: a new nation ruled by five powerful corporations, promising to guide the survivors toward a fragile peace. Centuries later, Leandra's life seems perfect. Heiress to Virelia Biotek, betrothed to the striking Elias Kael of Nexacorp Systems, she is cared for and protected despite her medical ailments. In the city of Ephyra, she has everything a girl could dream of-until a simple DNA test shatters her world. Her parents aren't her parents; she was stolen. With her parents offering no answers or explanations, Leandra does the only thing she can: she runs. Potoo's life is simple: they steal, they fight, they eat, and then they wake up again tomorrow. In the slums of the outer ring of Ephyra, it's every man for himself, and Potoo liked it that way. That is, until someone with white hair and piercing blue eyes turned everything upside down. Suddenly, survival isn't just about the streets anymore-they're being hunted, and dragged into a mystery involving a girl whose life may change everything. As secrets unravel, Leandra and Potoo discover the truth is far bigger than a stolen child. It's a truth that could heal their shattered world-but only if they survive long enough to see it through. ------------- Status: Hiatus :(
Thrive - Remastered

Everyone else will be manipulated through a façade of rule and order. Jordan Shepherd has been given the opportunity of a lifetime. This opportunity will allow her to assume a position of leadership within her city. However, the more she learns, the more questions she will have. The city's policy of releasing agitators to the unknown beyond the Wall is a false front. It is nothing more than an opportunity to silence the voices seeking to penetrate the veil of lies. Soon Jordan finds her own voice counted among these and she will be forced to make a decision to stand for truth or bend to lies. Humanity will be led toward division and chaos through influence and control. Jordan's peers, blinded by deception, will desire nothing more than compliance. Freedom in truth is what she will bring them.Concluida
Consensus: Part 1 - Citizen
In a society where morals are determined by a public opinion system, and social rating is the currency, truth can be a dangerous notion. Sixteen-year-old Rena has few memories of her childhood before adoption. The voice of the man who raised her. A forest teeming with wildlife. Mountains reaching up to a blue sky. The problem-they're not real. Such things don't exist in Esh, a self-governed metropolis shielded from the harsh environment by a transparent canopy. And beyond the city lie only the Barrens, an endless wasteland of fog and freezing rain. When Rena's violent instincts save the lives of her friends, her delusional past begins disrupting her prospects for the future. To find the source of her impulses, she'll have to sort through the fragments in her mind. What awaits is a connection between her true identity, the city's forgotten history, and the secret war being waged beneath the surface of her polite society.Concluida
Turing Test
In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part seriesConcluida
Stigma: Village (BOOK III)
In a world where "happily ever after" is nothing more than a cruel fantasy, darkness festers beneath the surface of glory and power. Hidden beyond the polished halls of history are the unspeakable tragedies suffered by countless innocents, tragedies orchestrated by those who sit comfortably atop broken lives. Born into a once-gifted family now scarred by grief and madness, a brilliant boy named Pheo carries the desperate hope of saving his mother, frozen in a curse no one can explain. Raised under the weight of his father's growing insanity and society's cruel whispers, Pheo isolates himself, diving into forbidden knowledge and secrets buried deep within ancient tomes. But salvation does not come easily. As a violent storm brews, Pheo faces a terror greater than the curse: the monster his father has become. Without warning, he is forced to swallow an unknown, violet elixir and is swept into the night, his fate sealed by hands once meant to protect him. What is the true nature of the curse that froze his mother in time? What secrets caused his father to change, and at what cost? In a world ruled by unseen horrors and lost hopes, Pheo's search for truth may unravel something far darker than he ever imagined.
The Egg
In the heart of the desert, a forgotten antenna begins to vibrate. No one else hears it. Except her. An echo repeats through frequencies that shouldn't exist. It doesn't carry voices. It doesn't carry data. It carries something older than any language. And it's growing. On the other side of the world, someone takes note. And someone else... prepares a response. A conspiratorial science fiction novel filled with mystery, impossible signals, and a truth not everyone is ready to face. It begins with a sound. It ends with a choice.
