The Violet Sleep
In a decaying city suspended in endless twilight, people are starting to disappear in their sleep-not just physically, but existentially. Their names vanish from databases, their photos fade, and even memories of them begin to rot away in the minds of their loved ones. Only one thing remains: an oily violet smear on the bed where they vanished. A cryptologist named Keiran Roe, exiled from the technocratic government for publishing forbidden theories about dreams and consciousness, is hired by a secretive cabal known only as The Rememberers. Their goal? To understand-and stop-the Violet Sleep, an enigmatic phenomenon that appears to be rewriting reality itself through collective dreaming. As Keiran delves deeper, he discovers an underground world of lucid-dream cults, artificial god-entities born from archived nightmares, and a forgotten city beneath the city-one that breathes and thinks and may be dreaming them into existence. But the closer he gets to truth, the more it unravels his mind-and the world around him. Because some dreams are not meant to be remembered. And some dreams... wake up first.Complete
Until the Last Memory Fades
Some bonds survive even when the world forgets your name. Elian doesn't remember his past. Not the faces. Not the places. Only the ache that follows him like a shadow too long and too loyal. Wandering through a quiet village tucked beneath floating cliffs, he carries a journal of forgotten lives and sketches he can't explain. He is a man unmoored in time-haunted by visions, by voices in dreams, and by the faint echo of a promise he can no longer name. But Raeven remembers. The dreams. The tree. The brother who always finds him. Even if Elian forgets, Raeven won't let go. In a world where lifetimes fracture and loop, where memory is fragile and love is the only thread that endures, two souls drift ever closer to the truth: They were never meant to be apart. But fate-cruel and unfinished has other plans.Complete
