In a world rebuilt from amnesia, 17-year old Cael Monroe is one of the rare few who can hear the past. After a mysterious global event known as The Fade, every human on Earth woke up without memories. Societies reformed. Histories were rewritten. Names, families, even love-forgotten. But Cael remembers one thing: a name that doesn't exist anymore: Elian.
When Cael touches a shard of ancient glass, he sees glimpses of a boy with storm-gray eyes-and feels a heartbreak that can't be his, but somehow is. As he dives deeper into the fractured echoes of a world erased, Cael uncovers a buried truth: The Fade wasn't an accident. It was a deliberate purge... and queer love was among the first things erased.
Hunted by the authoritarian Memory Council and guided by a rebel archivist and a rogue AI, Cael must navigate a city built on silence to recover what was lost. But the closer he gets to the truth-and to Elian-the more he realizes: some memories were taken for a reason. And remembering might be the most dangerous act of all.

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
Senses Of Love Series #1: Through the Blur
"Through the Blur" - Some stories unfold in silence. Some loves are almost missed-until they aren't. - Euan Cursin Ricasanta, 19, lives in a world of softness. A quiet dreamer in cozy knits and pastel hues, he finds beauty in pressed flowers, golden light, and unwritten stories. Overshadowed by his sister's brilliance, he speaks through poetry, not presence-always hiding the ache of being unseen. Edrian Leighton Laxamana, 22, is the embodiment of control. Heir to a powerful empire, he wears tailored suits like armor and speaks with the precision of someone raised to never need softness. His life is a blueprint-one where love is arranged, and vulnerability is forbidden. Their paths were never meant to cross. But one ordinary day, a door opens-and Euan, not Eula, is the one standing there. What follows is a slow unraveling. A glance held too long. A story written in secret. A silence filled with meaning. Edrian is drawn to the quiet boy with paper hearts and trembling words, a boy who reminds him what it means to feel. Euan, in turn, begins to see something behind Edrian's cold façade-something real, something aching. But in a world that demands roles be played and feelings be hidden, their connection becomes a fragile rebellion. When the truth threatens to surface, when family and duty close in, both boys must confront the question they've been too afraid to ask: What if the only person who truly sees you... is the one you're not allowed to want?
Turing Test
In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part seriesComplete

Nova was born to be a weapon. Trained as an elite soldier, Nova once led a team that never came back. After a mission gone devastatingly wrong and a rampage that made even the Guardians fear her, her memories were erased.

She remembers her name. She remembers nothing else. Rebellious, haunted, and lost in the blur of a life she doesn't recognize, Nova starts seeing things-echoes of the friends she lost, pieces of her old self. The Elite Guardians are watching her, some suspecting she's faking it. Among them is Kade-cold, unreadable, and strangely familiar. And there are others: students, soldiers, ghosts, and enemies who seem to know more about her than she does herself. As Nova begins to unlock terrifying truths about her past, her powers return-and so do the questions: Who was she before they erased her? Why did her team really die? And what is she truly capable of now? In a world where secrets kill and memories lie, Nova must choose between the girl she was, the weapon they made her, and the future she wants.
