When he activates a forbidden relic buried beneath the ruins, he becomes something impossible... and very, very hunted. Now trapped between a dying world and a floating city of power, Kael must outwit enemies, survive the elite - and deal with one dangerous royal watching his every move.
The Pulse chose him. That might be his biggest mistake yet.

Shadow Archive
When the world collapsed, it wasn't war, famine, or plague that brought it down. It was words. Sentient grimoires devoured cities. Living paragraphs swallowed memories. And language itself fractured reality. Kael Orven, once a brilliant young Librarian, now roams the ruins with no past beyond the glyphs carved into his arm-glyphs that burn every time he faces a corrupted text. When he witnesses a book eat a man's face, Kael realizes something terrifying: The words remember him. And they want him back. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Lira Vein, a blind exorcist who "hears corruption," Kael enters the war between Archivists, cults, and Monarch-class Grimoires capable of rewriting the world. But every answer he finds only leads to one terrifying truth: Kael once opened the Shadow Archive... and he is the reason the world collapsed. Now the grimoires are whispering again. The Monarch is returning. And the last line of the world is already being written. To save the future, Kael must walk back into the catastrophe he created- and rewrite the story that erased him. If it doesn't erase him again first. 🔥 Perfect for fans of: dark fantasy, cosmic horror, grim magic systems, emotional duos, tragic pasts, and post-apocalyptic mystery.Complete
Ashes of the Fifth
They told us there were four factions. Four ways to live. Four roles to play. Four futures to choose. But they lied. There was a Fifth. And I am the proof. In the fractured remnants of a world rebuilt after collapse, every sixteen-year-old must face the Trials-an unyielding ceremony that assigns them to one of four factions: Ignis, Vera, Sylva, or Machina. Obey, and you live. Refuse-or fail-and you vanish. Kael Riven has never belonged. Born outside the system, raised in the shadows of Sector Nine, her only goal is to survive the Trials and disappear into obscurity. But when the test reveals something impossible-something forbidden-Kael becomes the target of a truth long buried. Labeled a threat. Hunted by the enforcers. Haunted by her past. Now, Kael must navigate a divided city, uncover the secrets of a faction that shouldn't exist, and trust the one person who might betray her heart. The Trials were supposed to choose her path. Instead, they lit the spark of a revolution.Complete
