The aether has frozen, and an egg incubates in the grand court. Humanity weighs on the scales of its worth. The creatures and spirits that dwell in the aether grow exhausted, and the Cogs of realms slow to a halt. A vicious leech waits to consume the souls in the well of the aether. A black body wishes to fill its belly. An hourglass pours its sand tediously yet vigorously till rapture. A savior of man must be elected to liberate the depths below, or existence will seize and lay in the belly of the body.

anatomy of hunger
Rowan Graves has always been sickly-weak, frail, and prone to illness. But when an unexplained hunger consumes him, it's no longer just his body that's changing; it's his very existence. As the hunger deepens, Rowan's once-persistent appetite for food morphs into a grotesque craving for human flesh. At first, he resists, terrified by the thought of hurting anyone, but his body begins to transform, and the need becomes undeniable. His muscles stretch and shift unnaturally, his teeth sharpen, and his mind becomes clouded by the voices of those he's devoured-haunting remnants of his victims, still trapped inside him. Desperate to find a cure, Rowan plunges into the darkness of his family's past, discovering horrifying secrets that might explain his condition-and a family curse that has plagued generations. But every day he survives, the hunger grows stronger, pulling him toward something far darker than he could have ever imagined. Now, with no choice but to feed, Rowan must navigate the terrifying reality of living as a monster, all while trying to hold onto whatever remains of his humanity. In a world where hunger is never satisfied, Rowan Graves must choose whether to embrace the monstrous urge within him-or fight to keep the last vestiges of himself alive.Complete
The Clockwork Heir
In the heart of a bustling steampunk city, 18-year-old Liora is an orphan working as a clockmaker's apprentice. Her life is ordinary, if not a little dull, until the day an enigmatic customer brings in a peculiar device: a clockwork box engraved with glowing symbols. "Fix this," the customer whispers, "and you'll uncover your destiny." Liora's curiosity outweighs her caution. She spends nights studying the box, discovering that it's not a clock-it's a map. When activated, it projects a shimmering route leading to the fabled "Vault of Aeons," a legendary artifact said to grant its possessor mastery over time itself. Before Liora can make sense of her discovery, she's attacked by a group of shadowy figures, revealing that others seek the box. Fleeing for her life, she's rescued by a roguish skyship captain named Cyrus, who offers her safe passage-if she splits the treasure with him. Reluctantly, Liora agrees, and they set off on an adventure filled with treacherous airship battles, hidden traps, and ancient riddles. As they journey, Liora uncovers secrets about her past. Her parents were not mere clockmakers but key members of an ancient order tasked with guarding the Vault. Her connection to the artifact is stronger than she ever imagined, and unlocking it might not just reshape her future-but rewrite the fabric of time itself. But the closer they get to the Vault, the more dangerous their path becomes. Rival treasure hunters, a crumbling alliance with Cyrus, and the revelation of the artifact's dark cost force Liora to make an impossible choice: seize the power to change the past or protect the present.

Paths Beyond (Under Rewrite)
In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn't guaranteed-it's earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool-and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths-ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread-a path where strength isn't just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he's willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.Complete
