In a world drowned in shadows and silence, survival is all Sylas has ever known. Born into chaos beneath the twisted branches of an old oak, she grows within the safety of a bunker where the last remnants of humanity cling to life. But the outside world is not forgiving-Stalkers roam, hunger spreads, and the past refuses to stay buried. Under the Oak's Shadow is a haunting tale of resilience, loss, and the fragile bonds that tether us to hope when everything else is gone.

The After Effects
After it all happened, the Plague created what feels like a whole new world. Survivors created new lives for themselves and carried on with their lives. Me? I didn't get the chance to create a new life. Thanks to my absolutely wonderful father figure, I was forced to become an entirely different person. Thankfully I was able to escape his peachy influence and take some control of my new life. What I don't know is the Plague brought on after effects. Everything changed eleven years ago and only a few knew what actually happened after billions of people died. That all changes one-day though and I found my life completely flipped upside down. Cheers to The After Effects.Complete
Midnight Between Worlds: Season 3 - "The Dawn Within Shadows"
One year after the fall of the Lost Realm, peace feels like a fragile dream. Elena and Kael have built a quiet life between worlds-until a pulse of energy from the Shard awakens something ancient within her. When Elena discovers she's carrying a child whose heartbeat echoes through both realms, joy turns to fear. The child's aura stirs dormant magic, calling forth shadows long thought destroyed. Whispers of a prophecy spread: "When light bears shadow, the worlds shall converge again." Now hunted by remnants of darkness and haunted by celestial visions, Elena must protect the life growing inside her-a child destined to either heal or shatter creation itself. As realms tremble and alliances strain, Kael stands by her side, torn between love and the knowledge that their unborn child could be the key to both salvation and ruin. In a story where hope and destiny intertwine, Midnight Between Worlds: The Dawn Within Shadows explores motherhood, sacrifice, and the miracle of life born from darkness. Because sometimes, the end of night is only the beginning of dawn.Complete

Ashes of the hollow
The world ended not with fire, but with silence. Cities crumbled. Nature crept back. And in the ruins, the dead did not stay dead. Kael, a quiet survivor hardened by loss, trusts only his instincts. Lara, fierce and stubborn, refuses to let the world strip away her humanity. Together, they wander through forests, rivers, and the bones of cities-searching for hope in a land crawling with horrors. But the dead are changing. Some move in packs. Some hunt with unnatural speed. And some... some remember. When whispers of a hidden sanctuary reach them-a place untouched by the plague-they must choose: keep running from the dark, or risk everything for the faintest spark of tomorrow. In a world where laughter feels like betrayal and love is a dangerous luxury, survival is not enough. They must rediscover what it means to live.
Disappear: Into Shadow
For countless millennia a race of Angels have walked amongst humanity as 'Watchers'. They brought the secrets of civilization to the world. These never sleeping guardians encourage souls to reach for their destinies and avoid their fates. Disappear: Into Shadow follows a Watcher named Azrael who is dealing with temptation. The former Archangel of Death is a rebel wanted by both Heaven and Hell. Devoted to her duties, she oversees the processes of life and death and leads a choir of other Outcast Watchers. To help in the evolution of souls and life, Azrael and her choir have been smuggling souls out of both Heaven and Hell and freeing them to live again. She believes that both eternal damnation or idle paradise can mean the stagnation of a soul's potential. When Hell becomes aware of her activities it beings an active hunt of her choir. Angels of Wrath also pursue her. Souls are an important commodity to places like Heaven and Hell. Meanwhile, a shadowed spirit is plotting to seize control of the world and its souls. Having agents in Heaven, Hell, and in many the fog wreathed places in between worlds, this Shade will come after Azrael and those closest to her.Complete![" NO LONGER HERE.
