Book 1 of the Arabeth Barnes nearly Steampunk Fantasy series. ----------- A ghastly murder kicks off a violent spree of mayhem and sadism, and it's going to take both science and deduction to stop it. Blastborn is a quiet, old-fashioned city by any measure, so when an invisible force causes normally peaceful folks to kill one another, the police are hard put to stop it. When her cousin is murdered, Arabeth's inquiry reveals an ugly truth about the origin of Blastborn and its progenitors. Still, it had to stop. Calling in family favours and using her status to persuade gatekeepers isn't something she is comfortable with, but no one else sees what she sees. Plans for catching an unseen assailant are hard to explain and harder for others to accept. Her best friend since childhood, Samuel Hicks, is a Police Detective who has learned to trust her hunches. Refusing to let her walk into this danger alone, he insists they team up. Trust isn't easy for either of them, despite their history, or perhaps because of it. Together they'll attempt to solve a mystery that's turning the people of her city into cold-blooded killers. What they'll discover is beyond even Arabeth's imagination.

As her knowledge and abilities grow, she earns a place among the Stellars - the elite few destined to shape the future. Yet her path twists into something far greater, revealing that she is not merely one of them, but something else entirely. Something the world is not ready for.

8 parts Ongoing Mature
Mainchester, a decaying, smoke-choked factory town, holds more than just poverty within its grime. Arthur, an orphan from the St. Arianna Orphanage, lives a life of simple prayers, warmed by the presence of his two best friends. When a seemingly ordinary night turns into a nightmare, the orphanage vanishes from the map and from memory. Arthur survives only through the touch of a starlight he never understood. The world deems the tragedy to have never happened. All except one: Arthur. Declared an anomaly by the threads of fate, he is relentlessly pursued by a phenomenon that seeks to erase his existence. Amidst the intrigues of a powerful church, a dark-worshipping cult that sows suffering, and god-tier artifacts capable of altering reality, Arthur must choose between uncovering the truth and sacrificing himself for the safety of others. With every near-fatal stroke of misfortune, Arthur gains new clues, tools, and enemies. This journey is not merely for revenge or a reversal of fortune: it is about who has the right to rewrite a city's story, and how far one orphan is willing to go to reclaim a home that was stolen from him.

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 series
