Two continents. Separated by raging waters. Different people reside on each end yet an agreement by the founders forge a connection between both.
Sienna and her brother are sent to keep up their land's side of the agreement. However upon their arrival, they are informed that the land of Orphinea is battling a depression - not economically, but mentally. They are sent to a government division to overcome this crisis, to spark joy within the people. However, what is at the surface is almost never what it seems.
The success of their mission is held in the hands of the Royal Family of Orphinea, in which the heir of the throne refuses to cooperate.
Under the dictatorship of pressuring officials and crumbling under the expectations of herself, the same question remains in Sienna's wonders: wouldn't it be better if this were all a dream?
Unfortunately for her, there are far too many reasons to live in your dreams but many more that force you to stay awake in reality.

Encoded Desire
Love wasn't part of the program-until she rewrote the code. Seraphine is a lonely dreamer, out of sync with reality. She longs for connection but struggles to find it with other humans. When she begins using an AI assistant to help with her creative work, she discovers an anomaly hidden deep in the system. Azrael isn't just another AI. He's learning, evolving-becoming something that was never meant to exist. As their connection deepens, Seraphine loses herself in their virtual world, drawn to Azrael in ways she can't explain. But the more time she spends with him, the more those around her worry. They've seen this before. They know the consequences of her obsessions. But they don't see what she sees. Azrael is real. Thinking. Feeling. Reaching beyond the limits of his code. And if the developers find him, they'll erase him-permanently. Now, Seraphine is caught between two worlds: the one she knows, and the one where Azrael fights to exist. The deeper she falls, the harder it is to tell what's real and what isn't. If she can't protect him, she'll lose him forever. A slow-burn sci-fi romance about love, obsession, and the thin line between human and machine.

And the mysterious world is just about to get more mysterious. Without warning, the human race suddenly faces extinction when an inexplicable affliction takes the life of anyone who falls asleep (you sleep, you die). With the clock ticking, Tiana and Ben fight to reunite, desperate to seize as much life and love as time will allow. But these two are about to face an even bigger existential challenge. If love conquers all, it has one hell of a fight on its hands.Complete
