Mauj, a young woman who has lost most of her memories only accepts logic and reason. To her, if there's no explanation it didn't happen. However, a spark is lit when she procures incurable insomnia and no one can give her answers. Out of complete desperation she is led to the Verdant Witch of the Madegalna hilltop, said to be so ruthless they escaped their own execution. Not only is the Verdant Witch nothing like Mauj thinks they are. They are capable of shaking the foundations of Mauj's perfectly cut world and unintentionally reveals her forgotten past. The flame begins to burn and a new world is revealed.


Yes this is a series, I have six books planned where the order you read them in doesn't matter too much. As long as you read the last one last and the second one before the third one and the fourth one before the fifth one. I say this because I might go slightly out of order with them. I don't expect to finish this before I finish Bedroom Orchestra that is my main project and these are side projects in between main projects as if now.

Please enjoy this non ambitious but still pretentious piece

She yearned for a world not ruled by the darkness and the demons awaiting her inside it...

Ever had that nagging feeling that something's wrong with you but you can't figure out what? For Anja Wolf, that feeling isn't just a passing thought. It's her reality. On the surface, she's just another survivor in a world where humanity hides from man-eating giants behind towering walls. Haunted by trauma, she fights to protect the few people she still has left. But beneath that ordinary exterior, something ancient and terrifying stirs, something that was never meant to exist in this world. This isn't just another tale of hidden powers or fate. At first, it's a military thriller a slow-burning descent into the horrors of war and the weight of survival. You'll follow Anja as small, unsettling hints begin to pile up. Those vivid nightmares that feel too real. The moments of missing time. The way people perceive her. What begins as a tale of human resilience spirals into a creeping psychological and cosmic horror that will make you question everything you thought you knew about this world. In this psychological reimagining of Attack on Titan's world, the line between hero and monster grows increasingly thin. As Anja delves deeper into the darkness that afflicts her, she'll learn that some questions are better left unanswered, especially when the answers might destroy everything she holds dear. Fair warning - This isn't just a simple retelling, it's a story that throws fate off course, revealing horrors this world was never meant to face. It's a slow-burn journey that takes its time building atmosphere and characters before unleashing its full intensity. It doesn't shy away from the brutal realities of this world both the horrors of war and the things lurking just beneath the surface. But if you enjoy psychological horror that creeps up on you, complex military drama, and mysteries where every small detail matters, I promise the payoff will be worth your patience.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
