Beneath a shimmering, magical dome that shields Elaris from the devastation of a demon-infested world, the ancient Elders-powerful spirits-rule the city with an iron hand. But when the mighty Elder Aranthia is murdered in her palace, the fragile order begins to unravel. The only witness, her young servant Valara, narrowly escapes and is haunted by unexplained visions and fragments of Aranthia's memories.
Alongside the cynical detective Daron-a man with his own shadowed past-Valara seeks to uncover the truth behind the murder and the schemes of the Elders. Together, they find themselves ensnared in a web of lies and betrayal as powerful players like Inspector Lyssara and General Kharon vie for control of the city.
Beyond the dome, dark mysteries loom, threatening not only the fate of Elaris but the entire world. As the dome begins to flicker and prophecies of a "Rift in the Weave" edge closer to fulfillment, Valara and Daron must decide whether to save the city or choose their own destinies.
Elaris: The City Beneath the Dome is a tale of magic, power, and secrets, where every decision determines life or death.

The Forsaken Spire
A single, towering city rises from a vast, lifeless wasteland-a remnant of an ancient war that shattered the world. The Spire is surrounded by a powerful storm barrier, keeping the horrors outside at bay. It is said that beyond the storm, the land is overrun by Wraithborn-once-humans mutated into relentless, armored behemoths that feed on the energy of the living. The city's elite defenders, known as the Stormguard, wear specialized gauntlets that allow them to channel the energy of the storm itself, generating electrical blades and explosive force to combat the Wraithborn. Their training is brutal, as only those who can withstand the gauntlet's power without being consumed by it survive. When a young Stormguard recruit uncovers an ancient map hinting at a second, hidden city beyond the storm, everything they thought they knew about their world is thrown into question. Are they truly the last survivors? Or has the Spire's ruling council been keeping a terrible secret for generations?Complete
