Anatomy of Fragility
WHAT IF YOUR NIGHTMARES AREN'T YOUR OWN? The world is divided. Below is the Rim, filthy slums where every day is a struggle for survival. Above is the Aureole, a sterile paradise where everyone has a price. Mirey is a mechanic from the Rim. She believes in nuts and schematics, but her mind is fracturing. At night, she falls into a chilling void, where thousands of voices whisper and scream. She thinks she's going insane. Noah is a detached Observer from the Aureole. His career is in ruins, and he'll do anything to reclaim his power. He finds a loophole: a minor system glitch at a checkpoint, linked to a girl from the Rim. He sees her only as a stepping stone. But when he descends into the slums, he realizes her "glitch" isn't a technical error. And her nightmares are the key to the secret upholding their entire ideal world. The truth she hears could destroy everything. The lie he tells is the only thing that can save them.
Terms of Power | 18+
She survived her husband. Now she has to survive the man who watched her do it. Selene Moreau built one presidency and destroyed it. Now she's tethered to Damian Wolfe - a man who uses her ambition as leverage and her loyalty as a leash - and the only way out is through. But the path is darker than she anticipated. Ghost Cargo, the Titans' most buried secret, is surfacing in pieces - and every fragment she uncovers puts her further from safety and closer to a truth that could collapse everything, including her. Then Rhys Callahan walks into her world. A dead man with a living agenda. She doesn't know yet if he's an ally or another trap. Damian is watching. The Titans are circling. And Selene is running out of moves that don't cost her something she can't get back. In this world, mercy is a liability. But so is losing yourself to win.
Alex Norton, Paranormal Tech Support v1.0
Wizards, vampires, fairies, and their supernatural peers have always had trouble with modern technology. Alex Norton is the guy they turn to for computers and phones that won't explode in their hands. Paranormal tech support is frustrating when your clients are centuries older than your grandparents and can light you on fire with a thought, but at least the pay is good. When Alex's best friend and former partner dies unexpectedly, he's left with plenty inherit. There's a house, a pile of old gadgets, and plenty of books. Oh, and a niece he's never met, who he has to take as an apprentice and serve as her guide to the world of the Weird. Note: This is a first manuscript, and the first completed draft at that. It hasn't been fully edited, and there are a few structural tweaks I'm still mulling over. Consider this a beta more than a full release candidate.Concluida
Two Moons
For centuries, the House of Viridelle has borne the gift-and curse-of Sight. Selene Viridelle, the last of her line, carries more than visions in her blood; she carries the weight of an ancient prophecy foretelling that a child would shape the fate of kingdoms. Now, the prophecy seems to be at last coming to pass... and not in the way she hoped. Forced into an arranged marriage to King Zahir of Qamara, Selene faces a gilded cage. The king seeks not love, but power-wishing for his heirs to inherit her magic and bind it forever to his throne. As a week-long celebration leads up to the wedding, whispers of rebellion and water shortages stir unrest among Qamara's people, threatening to spill into the surrounding kingdoms. When Selene's visions turn dark, revealing that staying in Qamara means death, she seizes her chance for escape-falling in with a secretive band investigating the kingdom's water crisis. Among them is a brilliant but guarded engineer, Renric, whose haunted eyes hide royal blood long thought lost... and Darian, his charismatic, ruthless companion whose loyalty conceals dangerous ambition. The two men share a bond forged in war and secrets-but one that fractures under Selene's presence, unraveling into betrayal and hidden rivalries. Every secret revealed brings Selene closer to the truth-and to a love that could rewrite the destiny carved in her blood. But in a land of lies and legacy, even love may not survive the coming storm. ***TRIGGER WARNINGS: Abuse, emotional manipulation, domestic violence, toxic relationships, drug and alcohol use, eating disorders, murder, and light mention of self-harm and suicide ideation.***
Vampire Queen of the Apocalypse
In a world ruled by darkness, her light will burn eternal. Sealed in a crystal coffin at the peak of the Great Vampire War, Selene Castielle was known as the weakest vampire of her time-unable to drink blood, frail at night, and an embarrassment to her noble lineage. Born once every decade, a female vampire was considered sacred... yet Selene was treated like a fragile glass doll. But Selene harbored a secret even she didn't understand: her powers didn't come from blood-they came from the sun. A thousand years later, the earth is broken. Civilization has fallen to the zombie plague, a cursed virus that wiped out most of humanity. When an earthquake cracks her mountain tomb, Selene awakens to a dying world-and a destiny she never expected. Now, under the blazing light of the sun, she is no longer the weakest. She is a beacon of power, feared by the undead, worshipped by survivors, and haunted by her past. But the apocalypse hides more than monsters. Connor, a stoic human warrior who leads a resistance group, bears an eerie resemblance to Selene's long-lost vampire fiancé. As Selene uncovers ancient secrets, forbidden experiments, and the truth behind the zombie curse, she must face the terrifying origin of her own bloodline. A once-broken vampire queen will rise. The undead will kneel-or burn.
Veil of Shadows
In a world where ancient magic lingers beneath the surface and steam-powered inventions shape the future, Selene, a cloaked assassin with a dark past, and Taren, a rogue inventor with a heart full of secrets, must confront forces beyond their control. When Selene's hidden power draws the attention of a ruthless faction bent on awakening a forgotten darkness, she finds her only ally is Taren, a daring engineer whose brass and clockwork creations may hold the key to their survival-but trusting him could be as dangerous as the enemies they face. As the line between light and shadow blurs, Selene and Taren are pulled into a web of intrigue, betrayal, and forbidden magic. With enemies closing in from every direction, they must uncover the truth behind an ancient prophecy that links them both-and make impossible choices before the darkness consumes them.Concluida![[ The Glitched Road ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/215276936-256-k751814.jpg)
