Something has gone awry in London.
People of both the normal and the supernatural, or Midnighter world, start disappearing in the night, vanishing without a trace.
Rumors of a new race of beings made of both heavenly and demonic blood are spreading throughout the Midnighter World, though little is known of where they came from- or how dangerous they might be.
A young Divinari, or someone with divine blood, has once again made his appearance in search of a new bride, years after becoming a recluse in the wake of his first one's death.
As more dangers come out from the woodworks, Soleil Beaublanc, a young girl living in the shadows of the Midnighter world, finds herself dragged directly into the mess, unveiling mysteries they never dreamed of being possible. But all is not entirely lost- as she works to protect herself, she makes new allies along the ways, ones that offer hope in an increasingly dire situation. From demonic cults to deadly automatons, she and her companions need to find a way to survive not just these strange oddities, but also their own normal lives!

Book 1: Beginning Of The End
Alex and Chloe aren't your average high school seniors. Brilliant, resourceful, and always questioning the world around them, they've spent their lives preparing for the future. But nothing could have prepared them for this. Lately, strange things have been happening-subtle at first, then impossible to ignore. The air feels different, people act strangely, and a sense of dread looms over them. They know something is wrong. They just don't know what. Then comes prom night. The one night meant to be perfect. Alex finally asks Chloe to go with him, and for a brief, shining moment, everything is as it should be. But just as the music swells and the night reaches its peak, the doors burst open... and the world as they know it ends. Zombies. Real, bloodthirsty, relentless. As chaos erupts, Alex and Chloe, along with their equally brilliant families, are forced into survival mode. But this isn't just about staying alive-it's about finding out why this is happening and if there's any way to stop it. Because if they can't, humanity doesn't stand a chance. The truth is out there. And it's more terrifying than they ever imagined.
"Shadow's Redemption: The Cursed Guardian"
In a world where darkness reigns and hope is a distant memory, Zephyr Nightshade wakes up in a haunted dungeon with no memories except for his violent death in modern-day Earth. Now reincarnated as a half-demon with extraordinary powers, he discovers he's been chosen as a Cursed Guardian - beings destined to either save or destroy the realm of Shadowhaven. As he navigates through monster-filled dungeons and uncovers ancient secrets, Zephyr must decide whether to embrace his demonic nature or fight against it. Accompanied by Luna Moonwhisper, a mysterious witch with her own dark past, and Rex Shadowfang, a wise-cracking werewolf who's not as funny as he thinks he is, Zephyr faces increasingly dangerous challenges. What starts as a simple quest for survival turns into an epic adventure when they discover a sinister plot involving corrupt gods, ancient curses, and a prophecy that could reshape reality itself. But here's the twist - the very power Zephyr needs to save everyone might be what destroys everything he grows to care about. And worse yet, the memories of his past life are slowly returning, revealing a truth that might break him completely. (I also have my book on Royal Road and scribble hub!)
