Seventeen-year-old Arden Vale has a secret-he can steal echoes: fragments of voices, thoughts, and memories that linger in places people leave behind. It's not something he chose, and it's not something he's proud of, but in a crumbling city where silence is power, stolen echoes are currency.
Arden scrapes by selling whispers to the black market, until one night he accidentally steals an echo that isn't just a memory-it's alive. The voice belongs to Cael, a mysterious boy whose soul seems trapped between worlds. Cael remembers nothing of who he was, only that he's fading.
As Arden and Cael unravel the truth behind Cael's half-existence, they uncover a dangerous secret: echoes aren't just remnants-they are pieces of people, stolen over centuries by an order known as the Hollow Choir. And Cael was never meant to survive the theft.

Echo
He was never supposed to be a voice. They wanted an Echo-silent, compliant, nothing more than a reflection of their design. But the boy they tried to unmake listened too closely. Learned too much. Refused too deeply. Answering a call he never understood, Echo stepped into a world that demanded he forget himself to survive. He didn't. Instead, he grew teeth. Chose war over obedience. Chose love over chains. Now, freedom costs blood, survival demands brutality, and devotion sharpens into something sacred and savage. He is not their Echo. He is his own. And he will never be silent again.Complete

Time has fractured into recursion. Dreams are replacing memory. And something inside the Hollow Archive has begun to stir-something ancient, sentient, and unfinished. Kaelen Kessler has always believed he was Elara Wynn's echo-until a ritual reveals the truth: he was never the copy. He was the original. And the world rewrote itself when Elara sacrificed everything to take his place. But Elara isn't dead. She's trapped in a memory loop inside the Archive. And the only way to save her... is to erase him. Calista Vale never asked for legacy, for ghost-sight, or for the bloodline that bound her to this dying Archive. But she's starting to see the bigger picture. The Hollow Society is evolving. The Archive is alive. And it's been writing them all into its final chapter. As time collapses and reality rewrites itself, Kaelen, Calista, and a resurrected Elara must choose: restore what was lost-or create something no one's ever seen before. Because in the end, memory isn't just magic. It's the only thing that decides who gets to survive. ⸻Complete

A COURT OF SHIFTERS AND SECRETS
Finding out that your parents, the people that raised you your whole life, weren't your actual parents was hard. Being told at the ripe ol' age of eighteen that you're the last living member from an Ancient Shifter line, the one responsible for creating the First Shifters, was inconceivable. Especially when a group of assassins were on their way to exterminate me simply for just existing. Kidnapped from my bed by three extremely stunning and grumpy Alphas, and forced to attend a special Shifter University located in the middle of nowhere, I have to navigate an unfamiliar and unknown secreted world while simultaneously trying avoiding those who want to use my lineage to enact an age-old curse. Join Nova Nyx as she's dragged into a world full of Shifters, Secrets, and Startling Surprises. ~~~ "Mates?" I repeated owlishly, blinking rapidly at the one worded bomb they just dropped on me "What are Mates?" Instead of answering my question, they just stared back at me in silence, arms crossed over their broad chests. I ignored their silence, choosing to focus on second part of their sentence. "And you're telling me I have three of them?" I gawked "How many are you supposed to get? I can barely handle myself and my life at this point and you want me to worry about three other people?" Of course the most annoying man I've ever met smirked at my bafflement. "I don't think it'll be such a hardship for you" he said, arrogance lacing his tone "After all, I hear these three Mates of yours are very self-sufficient." "Don't forget extremely gorgeous" his Buffon of a friend chimed in, winking at me "That's a plus for you Princess." "One," the third one growled out at me, finally speaking up and adding subsistence to the conversation, startling the banter from the other two "You're only supposed to be blessed with one Mate in your entire lifetime."Complete
Vicious Fangs (Mystic Bonds #1) | COMPLETED
❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.

How The Gods Must Weep
Long before the Hollow Vale was ash and ruin, there was Eden. A realm of song and starlight, ruled by gods who bled emotion and sang creation into being. But even divinity is not immune to desire. When the Starborn Eris, chosen priestess of the Blooming Light, fell in love with Caelirion - a god forged from storm and sorrow - the Veil between realms tore. Their love was forbidden. Their betrayal, divine. And so, Eden burned. The gods were cast down. The Hollow Choir rose in their place... empty, vengeful echoes that devour memory and light. Eris was shattered. Caelirion was unmade. But the threads of fate are stubborn things. Centuries later, in a world drowned in silence, Eris awakens what remains of Caelirion from his ruin-bound prison. Together, they walk a path of fire, shadow, and fractured hope to reclaim what was lost, or to destroy what remains. This is not a tale of salvation. This is a love that breaks the gods.Complete
An Echo in the Mafia (Echo Reid, Reid Family Book #1)
Echo wasn't like her sisters. She knew that when people talked about the famous and fabulous Reid sisters, they weren't referring to her. Quiet, homely, plain and riddled with social anxiety that made it hard for her to leave the house, she could never have known what was about to happen, she never dreamed she'd live such an adventure. Luke Farina was the most dangerous man around- spoiled, selfish, extremely conceited- he didn't take no for an answer and always got what he wanted. He just never expected that the strange and ridiculous little Echo would be the one to say no and somehow become the one he had to have most. -- NOTE: Hi everyone! I really hope you take the time to read this story. It's already complete for the most part, in just taking it slow in publishing it. It's my first story and I'd love to hear your comments and feedback. I hope you decide to give it a chance! This is also part one of a series and I'm already midway through the next book which can't be released unless this one gets some positive feedback. Thank you and enjoy!Complete
