The world is dominated by a single corporate entity. The human race is enslaved in a tightly monitored and controlled environment, with no reasonable expectation for redemption from the situation. Fortunately, redemption comes in many shapes and sizes, and usually from places unexpected.
River is born in a company birthing lab. He is placed in a small room shortly thereafter to live in a virtual world of the company's making. The effects of living in this artificial environment are devastating. He suffers from severe mental illness, and eventually lands on the wrong side of a cost benefit analysis. He is exiled to an island where the company deposits and washes its hands of undesirable employees.
He finds himself struggling to survive in an unfamiliar world filled with dangers and inconvenience. As his mental health improves, he discovers that his life of hardship and humiliation has prepared him for a role he never imagined playing.

The siren and the serpent ⚣
❝Thaddeus Wraith had successfully destroyed the fortress within my head and scrambled my senses. Which was strange. How had I gone from fearing somebody, maybe even loathing them. To wanting to feel him against me, the heat that radiated off his body--for his lips to move against mine. I craved the chaos that we had together, and by gods did it intoxicate me to know that I had him. 𝒜𝓁𝓁 𝑜𝒻 𝒽𝒾𝓂. Every damaged, broken piece, every intrusive thought that came into his mind when those green eyes bore into mine. I had it all. ❞ ━━━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━━━ Orion Vale was meant to drown when a storm took him at sea--but instead, a siren's magic spared his life. Pulled aboard Captain Wraith's ship, Orion soon feels an unexpected connection to the ocean...and to the mysterious force that saved him. As strange powers begin to awaken, he's caught between his shifting feelings towards the captain and this cryptic prophecy tied to his "curse." Lines begin to blur, and hate may turn into love. Torn between the captain's relentless hunt for sirens and his destiny, Orion must navigate a dangerous path where every choice could lead to betrayal or salvation.

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 seriesConcluída
