LOLA IS DEAD [ COMPLETED ]
Lola died in a car accident. She expected silence. Darkness. Nothing. Instead, she woke in the middle of a war. A war that has raged for thousands of years, between the soul-hunting Darkling Demons and the ruthless Guardians of Zion, warriors of Purgatory sworn to protect the dead. Here, angels are real. God is real. And so are the creatures that would drag every soul into eternal slavery. Lola is the only living witness to the truth of the afterlife, where the dead gather in Iduri City, waiting for judgment... and where every soul is a prize worth killing for. Because the Darklings are no longer waiting. They have a plan to overrun the city and it begins with stealing its greatest defense: the Heavenly Salve of Archangel Raphael. When Lola is given a rare chance to return to the world of the living, she doesn't hesitate. It's her chance to see her family again. Her friends. The boy she never got to say goodbye to. But the mission comes with a cost. Going back means leaving behind the one person who kept her alive in a world of the dead, the mysterious boy who fought beside her, protected her... and might mean more to her than the life she lost. One world is calling her home. The other is calling her heart. And Lola has to choose.Complete

The Seven Layers of the Cosmos
They say some doors only open once. Luna lied to her father about a research trip to the Philippines. She didn't mention the impossible theory her vanished mother left behind. The pot swallowed her whole. Now she's crawling out of it into pre-colonial Madja-as during a pirate raid, where bodies fall like rain and survival isn't a skill you learn in international schools. The pot won't reopen. Her geometric tattoos burn with power she can't control. And somewhere in this brutal, beautiful world, there's a Keeper she's supposed to find. Except the Keeper is dead. Luna has spent her whole life trusting no one, needing no one, surviving alone. But here, blood soaks into communal earth. Here, warriors die with their crew's names on their lips. Here, villages share their last handful of rice. Isolation isn't strength when survival is measured in how many hands pull you back from the edge. It's extinction. The cosmic layers are fracturing. An ancient god is clawing his way back to power. And the prophecy that dragged her through time demands something she's never learned how to give: trust. She crossed time to find her mother. She found a war, a prophecy, and the reason some people never make it home. πhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/5Q39SmQjhz2NSrzYz8NUyaComplete

Two eyes. Two hands. Two halves of a soul that make a whole. Morgan has always felt the abscence of something she could never name. After her father's death, Morgan becomes the only thing holding her life together-her grief, her anger, and her younger sister, Mia. When her sister insists on using an Ouija Board to contact their father, Morgan agrees. What's the harm in saying goodbye and telling him exactly how she feels? But something does answer. Not their father. Something older. Ozias Dravenkov. The first demon. And he's been waiting centuries for her. As the barrier between the living and the dead begins to crack, Morgan is pulled into a war over who controls souls, power, and the fate of the afterlife itself. While some fight to preserve the existing order, Ozias seeks to tear it down, no matter how many lives it costs. Caught between two lovers, two truths, and two futures, Morgan must decide who she trusts and what she is willing to sacrifice to keep the ones she loves safe. Yet there's one rule older than heaven and hell: NEVER BARGAIN WITH THE DEAD. They always collect.
