"𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐆𝐈𝐑𝐋 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐅 𝐆𝐎𝐃𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐒, 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐅 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐋"
❝ Delphinium Tesla is anything but the innocent citizen she pretends to be, especially not with the power of telekinesis behind her fingertips. Laying low will not erase her haunting memories of the enigmatic master who trained her to be an assassin against her will-nor the atrocities she committed to end him.
One of her worst fears comes to life when she is arrested by a familiar face and forced into a crew of the only other gifted individuals, who bear titles as grim as hers: drug addict, kleptomaniac, crime lord, lunatic, murderer. Alongside her new crew, Delphinium is tasked with apprehending a wraithlike international terrorist.
This dangerous group of criminals must join forces if they have any hope of living long enough to unravel the mystery that is not as it seems. But they all must beware: everyone is hiding secrets, and most of the crew members are far more deadly than they let on. Perhaps even deadlier than the enemy they seek. ❞

The Enigma Protocol: No Brother of Mine (Book 1)
Two estranged brothers. One ancient secret. And nowhere to run, not from Enigma, and not from each other. But history won't hand you the truth. You'll have to piece it together yourself. Ask questions. The story might answer back. *** Teorin is close to uncovering the truth behind his father's disappearance, until a stolen drive puts him in the crosshairs of the one person he can't outrun: the brother who left him behind. Marcus walked away to protect his family. Now an old ally drags him back into his brother's orbit, forcing a choice: expose the truth, seek revenge, or protect the brother he thought he'd already lost.

People are born with affinities-heat, memory, pressure, time-and someone in the shadows is erasing anyone who digs too deep. 📖 Told through prose, in world documents, and comment threads (yes, the actual comments). Each voice carries its own style, from clipped restraint to dramatic flair. The Enigma Protocol isn't just a story; it's a reconstruction. You'll have to decide where the truth lies. A slow-burn science-fantasy epic for fans of The Expanse, Mistborn, and Annihilation-where found family and fractured loyalties collide with ancient mysteries. 💬 Take part if you want. Ask. Dig.

DEMSDALEVILLE
"We're no longer just looking for a conspiracy, Ariana. We're looking for a body." Welcome to Demsdaleville University, a gilded cage for the children of the global elite-a place where royalty, mafia heirs, and corporate titans learn the art of power. Here, the most expensive commodity isn't money. It's security. To this world, she is Ariana Basile, the "unicorn," the school's first-ever scholarship student. A brilliant, quiet girl with no past. But her real name is Alessandra de Luca, and she is a lie walking. Haunted by the violent "accident" that left her twin sister in a coma and shattered her family, she has one singular, all-consuming goal: revenge. Her targets are the powerful Moretti family, and her way in is through their sons-the charming basketball star Antonio and the famous actor Adrien. Her plan is to infiltrate their circle, earn their trust, and dismantle their empire from the inside. But as she's pulled deeper into their world of fractured friendships and dangerous secrets, she finds herself in a fragile, untrusting alliance with Alexander Sterling, the one boy whose brilliant, analytical mind sees through her perfect facade. The closer she gets to her target, the more she discovers that the truth is a monstrous, tangled web of lies, and the people she thought were her enemies might just be pawns in a much deadlier game. In a school where everyone wears a mask, can she find the truth before her own is ripped away?
