[ AN ORIGINAL NOVEL ] Formally Known As Lysdonè {a cell phone novel that transitioned to a full lengthen novel}

────⎾✿⏌────

Elara had always felt out of place in the quiet village of Lysdonè. With its peaceful meadows and simple life, it offered everything she should want, but inside, she longed for something deeper, something that would reveal her true self. Her restlessness often led her to wander the thick woods that bordered the village, where the trees seemed to whisper secrets long forgotten.

One fateful afternoon, as the sun dipped behind the hills, Elara stumbled upon an ancient temple, hidden beneath layers of moss and vines. Its stone walls were worn by time, yet there was an undeniable pull that urged her inside. As she ventured deeper into the temple, she uncovered mysterious carvings, glowing with a faint, otherworldly light.

What she found within those walls awakened something in her-a power, a memory, a truth. The temple held the key to her past, her purpose, and the path to discovering her true identity. This revelation not only transformed her life, but also opened her eyes to a destiny far beyond the village of Lysdonè.

From that moment, Elara's journey became one of self-discovery, unlocking ancient secrets and forging a new path in search of who she was truly meant to be.

Steady Ground | ✔ by ToriHope-

He's damaged. He's lost. And worse of all, his memories have come to life. If he wants to find peace, he'll need to redefine what it really means to move on. -- For the first time in years, Atlas feels like he's separated himself from the misfortune in his life. He's healed, he's rented a decent apartment, he's settled into a solid-enough-for-him job working as a grunt for some scientists. Now he's (reluctantly) traveling to the spring snows of Alaska, where they plan to test the first run of their earthquake-harnessing technology. But something goes wrong. They don't harness the energy of an earthquake. No. Instead, the ground rips apart. A massive crevice forms, leading deep into the Earth. The chasm lulls him forward like a Siren, telling him tales of his mother, of her laughter, of her scent of strong sandalwood, and of his life before her death. Waking up in what he can only describe as Hell, he's confronted with every misfortune in his life. Forced to befriend mirages made from his most painful childhood memories or pay severe consequences, he travels the twisted realm in search of answers.
