**The Veilguardians Vol. 1**
By Pragyan Parui
In a world where the boundary between the living and the dead is tenuous, two high school friends, Pragyan and Divyanshu, find themselves as key members of a secret society called "The Veilguardians." Tasked with maintaining the delicate balance between these realms, their lives take a dark turn when they are sent on a perilous mission to rescue two boys from the sinister clutches of the Spirit World.
As they navigate this eerie, ghostly realm, they encounter Mike, a wise spirit guide, who helps them confront Gaurav, a malevolent spirit of a notorious criminal. Armed with enchanted amulets and iron chains, Pragyan and Divyanshu must harness their courage and skills to battle the horrors that lie in wait.
Their mission doesn't end with Gaurav's defeat. A new threat emerges in the form of "The Shadow Sovereign," a powerful dark entity aiming to dismantle the veil separating the worlds and plunge both into chaos. Pragyan and Divyanshu's journey is fraught with spectral warriors, shifting shadows, and the constant peril of the Spirit World's malevolent forces.
"The Veilguardians Vol. 1" is a thrilling tale of friendship, bravery, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. Join Pragyan and Divyanshu as they embark on an adventure that tests their limits, challenges their fears, and solidifies their bond as protectors of the veil.

The Juggernaut
A city in space built from the twisted wreck of a thousand ships, in a decaying orbit around a dying star.
The last refuge of the dispossessed.
The place Tila Vasquez now calls home.
When a distant colony of stars lost contact with earth, they descended into the fires of a civil war. From the ashes rose the Commonwealth - Eleven systems struggling to survive the aftermath and rebuild civilisation with the remnants of the technology they once had.
The mission to colonise Baru was to be the first step forward in a hundred years. Three colony ships set out to discover a new star and build the first hyperspace beacon in three generations.
But the mission failed.
The Far Horizon vanished through the unstable wormhole. The Rising Star and New Dawn were destroyed.
Tila's parents were among the thousands lost. Now she has joined the ranks of the dispossessed.
So when Tila finds the impossible - a shuttle from the Far Horizon buried deep within the Juggernaut - she sets out with her friends Ellie and Malachi to uncover the truth behind the colony mission.
But some things are buried for a reason, and some secrets should never be revealed...
**The Juggernaut is part one of an exciting space action-adventure mystery series.**
