In a kingdom where language has been outlawed, names stripped away, and silence enforced by pain, one boy holds a secret: he remembers the shape of a word.
Raised in the Ash Wards, where the air tastes of soot and grief, Kaelen-a seventeen-year-old boy burdened with caring for his younger siblings and a dying mother-has survived by following the rules: don't speak, don't write, don't remember. But when a stranger appears with a tattooed tongue and a whisper only Kaelen can hear, his world fractures.
The Dictator-Virex the Hollow King-has ruled for decades through silence. His regime enforces a psychic bond called the Binding, a system that delivers excruciating pain to anyone who tries to speak or sign real language. Only sanctioned hand-signs for labor remain, and even those are stripped of meaning.
But Kaelen's voice, dormant for years, is beginning to stir. And with it comes danger... and destiny.

The Journey to the Center of the Flat Earth
The Walls have stood longer than memory. No one knows who built them, or what waits beyond. Inside, the kingdoms choke on sermons and politics, each one rotting behind its own masks. That's where I work. Not with swords or crowns, but with silence. I was nameless once. Now I trade in whispers-listening for what shouldn't be heard, carrying truths that kingdoms would rather bury. But silence breaks. Kings grow restless. Priests call for blood. Factions tighten their grip until something snaps. And when it does, it won't be what lies beyond the Walls that destroys us. It'll be what's been here all along.

But his attempts are so sweetly ridiculous and genuine that every love interest - originally meant to fall for the female lead - starts becoming curious, then obsessed... with him. This will be a magical academy setting, with modern fantasy flair, a comedic and emotional tone, and a slow-burn but strong BL romance that ends with Doha and the male villain getting married.Complete

She was never meant to fall for him. But when whispers of treason threaten the throne, Haelyn must decide: trust the man who swore to protect her... or the one who swore he never stopped loving her. And when the past comes for her, stealing the memories of the man she once knew, only one question remains-can you love someone you've forgotten?Complete

The Veil Between
There are worlds that live beside our own. Not above in the stars, not buried beneath the earth, but folded against reality like pages pressed together. Most people never notice. They live their lives with eyes half-shut, content with what they're given, never reaching for what lies just beyond. But some of us are born restless. Some of us hear echoes where others hear silence. Some of us feel the pull of something we can't name. Kaelen was one of those people. She thought her hunger for more was only daydreams. She thought the stories in her books were only fiction. She thought her life was destined to be small, invisible, ordinary. She was wrong. Because when the veil between worlds trembles, it does not choose kings or warriors to step through. It chooses the ones who ache for belonging. The ones who have nothing left to lose. And Kaelen had been waiting her whole life.
