In a world where darkness threatens to consume all, the Vigiles Sancti, once mighty protectors of humanity against evil, find themselves on the brink of collapse. Blessed by God with divine sight to see heavenly beings, the order's gift has become a curse as human greed twists it into something sinister tainting it with their relentless pursuit of power sparked by the Hellsfall Codex. What started as a mere record of demons and cultists killed by each house has turned into a catalyst for moral decay, sparking a vicious race to the claim of superiority.
Amidst this chaos Selah Thorne, the daughter of the presumed-dead leaders of House Silverthorne, now shattered due to its desperate attempt at rebellion, is raised in secret until one day her world is thrown off its axis as her parents vanish without a trace. Determined to uncover the truth, she throws herself into investigative journalism.
Selah's path collides with the enigmatic Lucas Bledman, when she stumbles upon a terrifying battlefield where Vigiles Sancti clash with cultists. Dragged into the turbulent world of the order, Selah must confront the secrets of her family's past and the corruption that destroyed them.
As Selah navigates the treacherous world of the Vigiles Sancti, she is faced with a choice: Will she take up their fight for justice, or be consumed by the same lust for power that has rotted the order to its core? And what of Lucas, heir to the tainted legacy of House Bledman? Will he blindly follow in his ancestors' footsteps, or will he find the strength to break free and forge a new path?

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

Veil of The Meridian Pact
In the Meridian Pact of Virelya, knowledge is light, and light is a weapon. Beneath gilded temples and radiant spires lies a fractured land haunted by mirrored timelines, soul-splintering wells, and anomalies that defy reason. The Radiant Concord preaches salvation through divine convergence, yet a new corruption seeps through its golden scripture-heretical echoes, cursed orchards, and whispers from forgotten realms beyond the Fold. When a catastrophic rift breaches near the Grieving Sky Choir, the Hollow Concordant deploys its cloaked front, Guild of the Inward Lantern, along with their elite strike force, Prism Veil. But the veil between realities has thinned far too much. Zera Velyn, an apprentice war-archivist with buried lineage to the ancient Fold, uncovers a trail that leads from a haunted foldglass labyrinth to a sentient orchard that speaks in the voices of the long-dead. As she allies with exiled monks, rogue Fold-mages from the Valthen Meridian School, and a cynical operative of the SAU, she must navigate conspiracies etched across blood and glass. The deeper she journeys through the Bone Orchard, the Foldglass Briar, and the perilous Labyrinth of Thorns, the more she learns: the anomaly is not growing-it's remembering. And it remembers her. As gods fracture and realms collide, the Meridian Pact teeters on the brink of echo-collapse. A final convergence is coming-not divine, but catastrophic. In a war between belief, memory, and identity, what survives when even reality is a lie?Complete
For Her Favor
"This man had sought revenge for me and made a spectacle for it. He had protected my crown. He also answered my questions vaguely and I was nowhere closer to figuring him out than when he first arrived, but I was drawn to him. Like an addict to a drug, damn I wanted to be close to him. I wanted his touch. There was no sane explanation for it, it was just a want, a need." Princess Esme was never supposed to be Queen, but when tradgedy strikes in her Fae kingdom, she is forced to bear the crown. In Amoria, the Kingdom of Love and Life, she must battle with the patriarchy now to keep it. They want a king on the throne and she wants a chance at true love like the rest of her people. To placate the nobles in her kingdom that have a grip on her power, she agrees to the Battle of Hearts-a competition where eligible princes from other kingdoms compete for her favor and to be named king. Everything Esme knows is about to be challenged and not everything will be as it seems. In the end she'll have to choose; her kingdom or her heart.Complete

Two Moons
For centuries, the House of Viridelle has borne the gift-and curse-of Sight.

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.
