Threads bind each and every being to their fate--romantically, platonically, mere contact with one another is dictated by a single string. Occulents are supernatural beings responsible for tying the existence of humanity into one, cohesive knot--frightening creatures with five tattoos of the All Seeing Eyes dotted across their skin, and golden shears as weapons. Magister in training, Zorah Haldis is well on her way towards obtaining her second All Seeing Eye, when a series of events take a turn for the worst. Her own threads that trap her power as an Occulent begin to unravel as an impending darkness threatens to cut all that bind.

Vengeance
"The human girl with the golden eyes who slaughtered a hundred wilds at the border." He paused. "You're infamous in these woods-a nightmare none of us wish to endure. Except, of course, for the fools you killed so effortlessly just now." -- No matter how peaceful and secure the district of Palvade becomes, there will always be those who would rather wreak havoc and cause chaos for the most absurd reasons. In a world where humans and werewolves are finally able to live together and in peace, there were those who could not abide by the final laws that were put together by the Council and formed their own secret organizations. One of these organizations is the Human Ascendency Research Center, also known as HARC, to which Ava was sold to as a child. She was trained and genetically engineered into becoming the strongest creature to ever exist, created to obliterate the Council itself. Ava managed to escape before the plan was incorporated into her brain with one goal in mind: to hunt down and destroy everyone who has ever harmed her and her family. Along the way, she encounters unexpected truths and emotions that challenge her.
The Silkbound Saga: Tangled Strands
Xenobiologist Evelyn Calloway has always been drawn to the strange beauty and mysteries of the alien world she calls home. But when she's captured by the Vrakk'eshi-an elusive, spider-like species dismissed as myth-she's thrust into a web of survival, secrets... and dangerous desires. Dragged into the heart of their world, Evelyn must navigate a labyrinth of rituals and judgment. There, under the wary eye of Tzakar, a stoic warrior with a disdain for her kind, she is both prisoner and puzzle. As lines between captor and protector begin to blur, the bond between Evelyn and Tzakar becomes as tangled and tense as the webs around them. But with war brewing above ground and ancient truths unraveling below, their fragile connection may be the key to a centuries-old design. If they can keep it from unravelling. Tangled Strands is a dark, sensual alien romance for readers who crave monsters with meaning, cultures rich in lore, and love that blooms where we're told it shouldn't. If you like "Beauty and the Beast" with a venomous twist and silk-bound hearts-this story's for you. NOTE: This story is an original work and takes a while to write. It is also undergoing heavy editing (the first drafts you cannot see, teehee), so please! Sit back, enjoy what you can, and have patience. Thank you my darlings!
Red Thread
A massive canvas caught my attention, a chaotic tangle of red and gold lines that seemed to pulse with energy. Erasmo stopped beside me, his gaze following mine to the center of the piece. "This one's beautiful," I said softly, stepping closer. "It's based on the Red Thread Theory," he said, his voice low but steady. I turned to him, curious. "What's that?" He gestured toward the canvas, the faintest hint of a smile tugging at his lips. "It's a belief from East Asian mythology. The idea is that an invisible red thread connects people who are destined to meet, no matter how far apart they are or how much time passes. It might stretch or tangle, but it never breaks." // Betty Miller has spent years hiding from her past, but when the man who shattered her life resurfaces, her carefully built world begins to unravel. With the help of Erasmo Gomez, Betty must confront her fears, reclaim her voice, and take control of her story in order to finally achieve her one dream.

Her desire to create a world where life could flourish was shared by her brothers and sisters. Thus, a grand idea took root in their hearts: they would each create a world-a sphere-to fill the emptiness surrounding them. As the siblings gathered in their celestial enclave, each brother and sister took turns, weaving their dreams into existence.
