*Graphic Novel: BOOK I OF THE PARAGON SAGA*
𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘢 𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮...
In the secluded confines of a carefully cultivated community, five young women from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities live in what seems like a harmonious and perfect existence. Their lives are a delicate balance of routine and mystery, shaped by a world that appears designed just for them.

But as they grow older, subtle cracks begin to form in the foundation of their paradise. Reality intertwines with illusion, and the truth remains shrouded in secrecy. Strange occurrences, unanswered questions, and harrowing nightmares pull them toward a deeper truth. Drawn into an unexpected journey, the women must confront the enigmatic forces governing their world and, in turn, the hidden facets of themselves.

They embark on a journey of self-discovery and defiance. They confront the legacy of their world, confront their own identities, and forge bonds that transcend the confines of their manufactured life.

Her latest destination is Milnhome, the rural town where her runaway brother Jacob has resurfaced after five years of silence. With its distant location, picturesque countryside setting, and the chance to reconnect with her only living family, Milnhome carries all the hallmarks of a fresh start. Yet the move isn't the new beginning that Gemma hopes for. Jacob is nowhere to be seen when she arrives, and it doesn't take long for Gemma's search to turn up her brother's dead body. The news sends shockwaves through the quiet community, exposing deep tensions between the town's residents and the private security company Jacob worked for. And when Gemma digs into her brother's life looking for answers, she uncovers signs of a worrying conspiracy that threatens Milnhome's whole future. With every step, Gemma descends further into danger. What made Jacob reach out to her after so many years apart? Why did he keep her a secret from the locals? And as new friends and old mysteries spring up around the town in equal measure, can Gemma find herself a home between these hills? *** Written for #ONC2024. 13.

*COMPLETE* There are whispers across the kingdoms that the Paragon, that strangely gifted person who can wield all four Skills, has been found. They're wrong, of course. No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. Still, she's not the only one who has problems: bigger tides of change and danger are shifting across the world she has been assigned to protect. The Jarles, a kingdom in the east, has begun moving across its borders, and there are strange murmurings about what they have done, and where all the children they abducted have gone. Faced with responsibilities she never wanted, and a life she thought she could never have, Allayria must decide how she will help--and if she will be the Paragon at all. _____________________ WIP Cover art and written work by Azi.
