Evelyn wakes up in a dim, unfamiliar room with no memory of who she is, how she got there, or even her own name-only a small tag on her wrist that reads "Evelyn." She soon discovers she's not alone. Dozens of other girls, equally lost and broken, are trapped with her in a heavily guarded facility masked as a rehabilitation center. But this place is anything but safe-it's a hub for human exploitation, where identities are stripped, minds are controlled, and hope is systematically erased.
Haunted by fragmented flashes of a life she can't piece together, Evelyn begins to question the reality around her. Through silent rebellion and stolen whispers among the girls, she learns the truth: they are victims of a powerful underground network that thrives on erasing the past to control the present.

The Phoenix Enigma
Evelyn clutched a worn photograph, its edges softened with time. The image depicted a younger, smiling version of her father, his arm slung around a woman with warm eyes. A pang of longing shot through her. She barely remembered him, just a collection of stories and a void that echoed in her heart. Newspapers, yellowed with age, lay scattered on the table beside her. Headlines screamed of a mysterious organization, their involvement in a series of unsolved disappearances, including her father's. The police investigation had gone cold, leaving Evelyn with a relentless thirst for answers. A determined glint entered her eyes. She wouldn't let her father's memory fade. She would find the truth, no matter the cost. Across town, in a dimly lit room, Ace received his orders. His mission: infiltrate the inner circle of a powerful organization rumored to operate in the shadows. The target? Evelyn, the daughter of a man who had crossed paths with the organization years ago. Ace wasn't new to undercover work, but this mission felt different. A flicker of unease sparked within him as he studied Evelyn's file - a young woman with inquisitive eyes and a fierce spirit. He knew he shouldn't get attached, but something about her drew him in. As fate would weave its intricate web, Evelyn and Ace's paths were destined to collide.Complete
Through The Black Veil
When the sleepy coastal town of Graven Hollow is struck by a wave of unexplained disappearances, no one can explain the chilling whispers that fill the night air. They echo through the forest, rise from the abandoned mines, and crawl beneath the ash-covered ruins of old houses long forgotten. Seventeen-year-old Evelyn Mire returns to her hometown after ten years-just in time for the centennial eclipse, an event that the locals say awakens "the Hollow's hunger." But something is wrong. The town feels frozen in time: clocks stop ticking at midnight, the air carries the smell of burnt earth, and shadows seem to move even when no one does. When Evelyn discovers her late mother's diary filled with strange warnings-"Don't look in the mirrors. Don't follow the voices. Don't trust the ones who remember you."-she realizes her family's dark past is connected to the curse haunting the town. As she digs deeper with the help of a skeptical journalist and a boy who doesn't exist in any official records, Evelyn uncovers a truth buried for a century: Graven Hollow was never built on solid ground-it was built over something alive. Every clue brings her closer to the heart of the nightmare... and the whispers are getting louder.

The Unnoticed Bird
Evelyn has always felt invisible. No matter how hard she tries to be seen, she's the one people look past - the quiet girl with too many thoughts and not enough words. She's misunderstood at home, overlooked at school, and stuck wondering if anyone will ever really know her. After a sudden loss forces her to move to a new town, Evelyn tries to start over. But it's hard to rebuild yourself when you've never really known who you were. A secret buried in her family's past. Then she meets someone who seems to understand her silence - someone who notices what others don't. And for the first time, Evelyn begins to see that maybe being unseen doesn't mean being unworthy. It's a story about feeling lost, about being quiet in a loud world, and about finding your voice when no one expects you to. Even the quietest souls have stories worth hearing.
CORTEX
Inside the human mind, even death leaves echoes. Evelyn Roe can hear them. Gifted - or cursed - with a brain that sees the dead as data, she uses a machine called the Loom to stitch herself into their memories. Every dive takes her closer to the truth behind her brother's disappearance... and deeper into a web of minds that no longer belong to the living. In the fading corridors of the dead, Evelyn begins to wonder - if you walk through enough memories that aren't your own, how long before you forget which ones are yours?
Sweetmare Hollow
A black envelope sealed with red silk arrives for 31-year-old Evelyn Morin, humming with a sinister energy and smelling faintly of burnt sugar. Inside is a VIP invitation to the grand reopening of Sweetmare Hollow-the infamous candy-themed amusement park that shut down mysteriously in 1997. Evelyn doesn't remember ever visiting, yet the invitation feels hauntingly familiar, almost like it's been waiting for her. At the bottom, scrawled in dark red ink: Welcome home, Your Majesty. On opening day, the park is a twisted fairytale come to life-peppermint castles, licorice rollercoasters, and candy mascots that smile but never blink. The guests are mostly children and teens. The only other adult near Evelyn's age is Lucien-quiet, charismatic, with eyes that seem to know more than he lets on. As night falls, glowing bracelets snap onto their wrists and a holographic queen announces the Sweetmare Game: draw a card, follow its path, survive the night. The park shifts, traps close in, and horrors unfold-while Evelyn's bracelet glows gold, untouched by punishment, as does Lucien's. Whispers rise. Why are they different? Why does the queen's twisted lullaby whisper "It's you..."? Evelyn came for one day of escape from her quiet life, but Sweetmare Hollow never forgets-and it never lets go.Complete
Diary of Eternity
Trapped. No past, no name-only fragments of faces and voices remain. Strangely, she remembers her classmates, yet her own identity is a void. But they are not as she recalls. Their faces, their mannerisms, their very essence-changed. Twisted. Still, she clings to them, for they are her only link to the truth. "This is a school... but why is it always dark? Why does no one leave?" "We're trapped. Can't you see that?" She must escape. She wants to escape. But stepping outside alone is unthinkable. The unknown waits beyond these walls, and survival is uncertain. She searches for her classmates-only to realize they are few. "Only a few of us survived." Fear coils around her mind. Isolation. Dread. Desperation. The weight is unbearable. Exhaustion takes her, and when she wakes-she is back where she started. But this time, she is not alone. A figure stands before her. Unfamiliar, yet they gaze at her with knowing eyes. "Do you want to get out of here? Together?"Complete
Captive{ated}
"First you captivated me... then you held me captive." Evelyn was like most college-aged girls working a part-time job when she met Caleb, who came in to her life when she wanted him least but needed him most. He captivated her. By the end of summer, she had fallen in love with him. It was then that he wanted her to meet his parents. And that's when everything changed. Caleb was not the man Evelyn thought he was. He came from a secluded village that did things much differently from the rest of society. Isolated in one of the most sparsely populated areas of the country, it was as if they live in their own little world. They were a traditional village for the most part, but there were some aspects that they did much differently than any other, especially in the ways of courtship. It didn't take long for Evelyn to realize one thing: once you were brought home to meet the parents, there was no escape.Complete
