Atlantis is a city on the edge of collapse - not just politically, but metaphysically. After the Merge shattered the boundaries between worlds, Earth became a patchwork of broken realms, corrupted magic, and species that were never meant to coexist.
Elias Ashcroft doesn't remember dying - only that he woke up in a grave, wearing a body that used to belong to someone else. Now he haunts a coffee shop run by immortals, flirts with women who could shatter mountains, and tries not to let his necromantic instincts do all the talking.
When a strange boy named Herath arrives with a familiar Essence signature and no understanding of his origins, Elias and his unlikely allies - Maria the undead machinist, Arietta the Draken terraformer, and Jack-Jack the too-helpful goblin - are dragged into a conspiracy that ties their pasts to the future of the planet itself.
Ashcroft Industries wants a soul-bound weapon. The Citadel wants silence. Malandra wants answers only Elias can provide.
But Elias?
He just wants coffee.
Unfortunately, what he has... is a war coming.

What Lasts in Us
**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.Complete
"Dead Space 3 Awakened: No Salvation"
After narrowly escaping the frozen nightmare of Tau Volantis, Isaac Clarke and John Carver believe they have survived the worst. But their relief is short-lived. As they approach Earth, they find it under siege by the Brethren Moons-cosmic nightmares awakened by their actions. Their ship is torn from the sky, crashing into one of the monstrous entities, and when they awaken, they find themselves on a world consumed by madness. Earth is unrecognizable. Cities lie in ruin, the streets flooded with Necromorphs, and the survivors are few and scattered. The Markers' influence has infected everything, twisting reality itself. With time running out, Isaac and Carver must navigate the horrors of a dying planet, struggling to hold onto their sanity and their uneasy alliance. As the whispers of the Markers grow louder and the Brethren Moons descend, one question remains: can they stop the end of everything, or have they simply delayed the inevitable? A desperate fight for survival begins, but in a universe ruled by the Markers, there may be no salvation.Complete
Siren's Heart
*Frequent updates* {This book is complete and we will be updating it every few days.} All her life Truly Davelvon has been kept a secret from the rest of Atlantis, a nation founded by pirates five hundred years ago. She's a Davelvon, descended from one of the Great Fleet's four leaders, but the women of her family are considered cursed and she's no exception. After Orison Davelvon betrayed the rest of his fleet and made a deal with the Siren queen to marry her daughter, a girl has been born to his line every hundred years. Four girls have been born before her. Four have died young, each blamed for the death of another in two of the four original family's deaths. Truly is the fifth, the crowning pearl, will she escape her fate or finally claim the last untouched line? Born with a ship's deck beneath his feet and a cutlass in hand, High Captain Kade Petrovick can steal a girl's heart just as easily as he could seize a ship. Too bad for Atlantis he's more into disproving their myths and curses than he is being 'The Brovern incarnate'. Descended from Drake Broven, the brazen pirate who not only stole the Kraken's Heart from Davy Jones but the man's wife as well. Like the rest of the Brovern line, Kade is cursed with wanderlust and the desire for riches. A thirst for adventure courses through his veins and tends to leave him often not onshore or in a lasses bed for long. Girls might love him, but none will ever claim his heart, save the sea, thanks to the curse Davy Jones placed upon his ancestor. It'll take a girl more alluring than his mistress the sea to keep this Brovern in port and perhaps finally break his family's curse.Complete

The Watchers (Dealers Book 3)
In The Dealers (Book 1), Lena thought she understood the rules. Magic had limits. Every deal had a cost. And the mysterious Dealers - immortals bound by ancient pacts - kept the fragile balance between power and chaos. But everything changed when she met Azrael. The Dealer who never lost control. The one who shouldn't have cared - but did. Their connection was impossible, dangerous, and undeniable. And when the world demanded his sacrifice, Azrael gave everything to save it. Now, months later, the balance he died to protect is unraveling. Without Azrael's immortal essence anchoring the network, the Dealers' magic is breaking apart - contracts fail, power corrupts, and ancient debts begin to rewrite themselves. What once kept the world in order now threatens to tear it apart. Lena refuses to let his death be the end. Haunted by guilt and the echo of what they shared, she begins to uncover whispers of the impossible - that Azrael still lives, stripped of his immortality and hunted by the very forces he once commanded. To Lena, it's a chance at redemption - to save the man who saved her, and maybe the world along with him. To Noah, her oldest ally and fiercest skeptic, it's a threat - a walking weapon who could destroy what little stability they've managed to rebuild. As power fractures and loyalties splinter, finding Azrael becomes more than a mission. It becomes a test of faith, love, and survival - and a question that could rewrite the laws of their world: Can the world survive without its eternal anchor... or will saving him be the very thing that ends it?
