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.

Chains Made Of Silk (Completed)
Aurelia was once a nameless maid-obedient, quiet, invisible. But years of servitude taught her one truth: power doesn't belong to those who inherit it. It belongs to those willing to bleed for it. One night, she seized it. She slaughtered the royal family, took the crown, and made herself Queen. The only one she spared? Seraphina-the former princess, now a prisoner in her own palace. Once her mistress, now her captive. Once her dream, now her regret. But history between them runs deeper than anyone suspects. Before rebellion, before betrayal... there were glances. Secrets. Longing. And something dangerous neither of them dared name. Now, with Seraphina under house arrest and Aurelia sitting on a throne drenched in blood, their story begins again-not as ruler and servant, but as two monsters shaped by love, obsession, and the cost of freedom. Maybe she wanted the crown. Maybe she just wanted her. Maybe... she wanted both. ⚠️ Content Warning: dark romance, manipulation, obsession, murder, power imbalance, confinement > More of this chaos?

The Archive of Whispers
A city of gold built on a foundation of silence. Renna Vesta's life is as ordered as the dusty halls of the Scriptorium. As a junior archivist in Veridia, she has spent years preserving a history she was told was sacred. But in a world where the ruling class edits the past to justify the present, the truth is the most dangerous relic of all. Everything changes when Ren discovers a Memory Fragment-a forbidden magical echo containing the raw, unfiltered emotions of a long-erased past. The fragment holds a truth that could set the city on fire: The "Sundering," a magical cataclysm blamed on a forbidden love between two women, was no accident. It was a meticulously orchestrated purge-a lie woven into the city's fabric to demonize queer love and cement a tyrant's control. Now, hunted by the Scriptorium's ruthless leader, Elias Thorne, Ren must navigate a world of shifting shadows and high-stakes betrayal. With the help of Elara, a defiant art restorer with secrets of her own, Ren is no longer just reading history-she is living it. As their connection deepens, their love becomes the ultimate act of rebellion. In Veridia, remembering is a crime. But to love is to go to war. --- 🖋️ Silkpunk • Sapphic • Political Thriller 🕯️ Slow Burn / Enemies-to-Allies
