It came down to one necklace, one Ferryman, and one grief-struck villain hunting for revenge.
"The Ferrymen" is a tale of two worlds; Earth and Nikia, the realm of the Ferrymen and magic. We follow the OCD-diagnosed main character through his life-changing journey through both worlds- battling evil masterminds, learning combat skills, and fighting his own demons. Eli meets both friends and foes that he will never forget.
If you ever see the necklace, hide. It is made from a metallic thread of silver and holds a single diamond and immense, immeasurable power. I repeat, run and don't look back.
And, by Agis -- look for the mirrors.

So here's the deal: I'm fifteen, practically invisible in my own family, and now being shipped off to Grandma's house for the summer. Just when I thought things couldn't get more predictable, she hands me this old, mystical necklace, and suddenly, bam-I'm in way over my head. Apparently, I'm the proud new owner of a one-way ticket to a world where old egyption society rule over realms of light and darkness, and mythical creatures actually exist. But here's the twist-this isn't just some magical vacation spot. People are after me, or more specifically, the necklace, because it's the key to power in this world. And guess who's expected to protect it? Yup, me. The worst part? No one asked if I was interested in saving the world. But you know what? If they think I'm backing down... they clearly don't know me very well.Complete

Kaen, the embodiment of power, vengeance, and chaos, refuses to remain a puppet to her words."You're my creator, Zaraeva," Kaen whispers, his voice like a promise and a threat. "But that doesn't mean I'll let you control me." "You wrote me to destroy everything," Kaen murmurs, his voice laced with dark allure. "Now, I'll start with you." Kaen isn't just dangerous-he's intoxicating, his obsession with Zaraeva blurring the line between passion and possession. "You fascinate me, Little writer. Not as my creator, but as the woman who will belong to me." In a world where manipulation is love and power is seduction, Zaraeva must navigate the chaos she once wrote-now brought to life. But can she resist the villain who was never meant to exist? "Love? You don't know the first thing about love, my Quilly. Love is power. It's control. It's the ability to destroy someone... and knowing they'll let you." "That's not love. That's madness." "Then call me mad." "You keep running from me, but there's nowhere to hide, Quilly. You can write a thousand endings, but in every one of them, I'll find you." "Why can't you just leave me alone?" "Because you made me who I am. And now, I'll make you mine."

The Angriest Angel
Chase Madison had a tough childhood. Raised in a broken home and struggling with undiagnosed ADHD, he was constantly in trouble, injured, and outcast. Life didn't get much better as an adult. Jailed, abandoned by family and friends, and fired from his job, Chase walks through life looking for the next bad thing to happen. But then he meets the Caelans. They look like and act like us, but they are not from this planet. They've lived here for years, posing as people of Earth, hiding in plain sight by using a mental ability called 'psy' to influence us-purely for the purpose of maintaining their secret identity. They have always been completely and utterly peaceful. Their planet had conquered and eradicated anger long ago. Something has suddenly changed, however, within the Caelan people here on Earth. After more than 50 years of peace, anger has infected some of them-like a sickness-forcing all 939 to be quarantined here. And when they meet Chase, they discover something even more disturbing-their psy does not work on him. His immunity to their power presents a serious security risk. On the surface, there doesn't seem to be anything special about him-other than having ADHD. Could this unusual condition be responsible for such a serious breach of Caelan security? Join Chase on the adventure of his life as he makes wondrous discoveries, improbable friends, terrifying enemies, finds unexpected love, and begins to believe in himself-for the first time in his life.Complete
