Two years after the death of star trapeze artist Stella, the Goldfield Circus has reopened-but some things never returned with it. The townspeople remember Stella as a tragedy. Inside the circus, her name is a ghost no one dares touch.
When 22-year-old Maria Quinn arrives from Idaho searching for a fresh start, she never expects to be placed in Stella's old role-or paired with Ethan, Stella's former partner and the man who caught her every night... until he didn't.
The circus watches Maria with careful eyes. A photograph appears in her dressing room, then vanishes overnight. Strange messages begin finding their way to her. Questions lead to lies. Lies lead to secrets. And the closer Maria gets to the truth, the more she begins to wonder if Stella's death was ever an accident at all.
In a world where trust hangs by a thread and one mistake can mean falling, Maria must decide how far she's willing to go before the circus takes something from her too.

After becoming hopeless in his job search, Ricky reluctantly asks for help from friends and family. Leads kept turning up dry, until his old friend Chris offers him a night watchman position at a horror-themed museum. A nighttime job for a night owl with good pay?

A New Beginning
There are no rules here. No laws. No one to tell you what's right or wrong-because right and wrong don't mean much anymore. In this world, the dead don't stay dead. Time doesn't move the way it should. One second stretches forever, and the next disappears before you can breathe. The world feels... paused. Broken. Caught between what once was and what refuses to end. It's beautiful, in a terrifying kind of way. Endless skies. Cities half-swallowed by fog. Echoes of laughter that don't belong to anyone alive. And somewhere in the middle of it all-Maeve. She walks through the stillness like she belongs there, even though she doesn't. Her steps are quiet, steady, like she's listening to something the rest of the world can't hear. There's a sadness in her, yes-but also calm, like she's already seen everything there is to see. Maeve didn't choose to come here. She was taken. Dropped into a new community that feels more like a cage than a home. But she doesn't fight it-not at first. She watches. Learns. The shadows whisper secrets, and she listens. Something about this place is wrong. She can feel it. The people act strange. The air hums with hidden energy, like the world itself is holding its breath. And Maeve can't help but wonder- if death isn't the end here... then what is?
Freeze (The Jewel Project #4)
"I know your weakness. You want to be fair, you want to do right, you want to be the good guy. I could give you a depression you'd never crawl out of."

Sam Grant has come to that conclusion over the last months because after all his adventures and near-death experiences, he's still stressed out about exams. But the ordinary morphs into the unexpected when Snitch Gravel decides to break their silent deal. Home is no longer safe and rules no longer apply. As Sam and Tom try to fix what has been broken in the delicate balance between their two lives, the rest of the group embarks on a new mission to dig out one more jewel before Snitch Gravel finds it. But with no leader and just a vague hint, it's turning out to be harder than expected as tension within the group bubbles to boiling point. But glory waits for no one. The race is on. ❄ Epic cover by @italychick Highest rank #63 in AdventureComplete
