In a fractured world ruled by the remnants of an invisible monarchy, society has been divided into rigid castes, bound by an unspoken agreement of compliance. The shadows of the Archive stretch across the cities, whispering of truths that no one dares to confront. Amidst this suffocating order, Marlen-a lowly bureaucrat plagued by dreams of a life beyond the decrees-crosses paths with Lyra, a mysterious rebel whose quiet defiance threatens to unravel the fabric of their world.
As their forbidden connection deepens, Marlen is torn between the love that awakens his dormant humanity and the system that dictates his every move. In a society where belief sustains reality, their bond becomes a dangerous act of rebellion, forcing them to confront the illusions that hold their dystopian existence together.
Will they rewrite their fates, or will they become shadows in a world that demands silence?

Turing Test
In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part seriesComplete
Touch: Awakening
The first touch burns. The second will change her life. In the future, humans will never see each other face to face. Technology will facilitate all interactions, from emails to spoken conversations to a hike up a tree-lined mountain. They'll rely on machines to provide them with their basic needs and favorite indulgences, and they'll never know another person's touch. This is the world Alexis is born into. A grad student slated to become impregnated in a few months' time, Lexi's been struggling with her wild and reckless thoughts. Why aren't they allowed to question the Government's decisions? What if her friend, Parker, is right, and the pill regimen they're on deadens their sense of touch? And why does her heart stop and her chest squeeze whenever she's around Drew? Drew's a dangerous man. He asks the questions she's afraid to voice and makes her think. Makes her wonder. Makes her yearn. He promises to help her find the answers, the two of them fumbling toward something they don't understand. The first touch is painful, the second one less so. Each one awakens feelings Lexi has no words for, until she craves Drew like an addict needing a fix. As they discover what the Government has kept from them all their lives, they fight to find a way to have it all - even as it threatens to destroy them forever. **** Later chapters contain situations intended for a mature audience.

The knot of hearts
Revansh Malhotra built his billion-dollar empire by shutting out the noise of the world. Stoic, composed, and fiercely private, he gives his attention to only two things: his family and his work. Love? It was never part of the plan-until his mother invites the Vermas over with an unexpected proposal. Avni Verma, once the girl who laughed too loud and dreamed too big, now hides behind carefully crafted smiles. Life, and her strained relationship with her family, taught her that being too much only led to heartbreak. So when her family pushes her toward an arranged marriage with a man like Revansh-powerful, untouchable, uninterested in the world-she expects yet another disappointment. But from the moment they speak, something shifts. Revansh, known for brushing off even the most charming conversations, listens. Really listens. And Avni, who swore she'd never let her guard down again, finds herself revealing pieces of her heart she thought were long buried. It's not love at first sight. It's quieter, deeper-like two fractured souls recognizing the cracks in each other and finding comfort there. But love built on fragile hope is easy to break. When shadows from Avni's past resurface and Revansh is forced to confront feelings he's spent years avoiding, they'll have to decide: Is this connection strong enough to withstand the weight of their scars? Or will they remain two people who almost found happiness but were too afraid to hold on?Complete
