Dust
"You hate the rain? How can someone hate the rain?" she asked, her eyes wide with wonder.
He stared at her. Not at her words, but through them. Because when she spoke of rain, he remembered another night-sirens wailing in the distance, gun metal heavy in his trembling hands, the taste of salt from tears he couldn't stop. And her body, the one he loved, sprawled lifeless against the soaked pavement. Blood. Silence. The storm that never washed clean.
Elias Will, didn't hate the rain.
He hated what it carried back to him.
In a world where faith is a cage and freedom a curse, Elias drifts through London searching for meaning in the dust of it all. He doesn't believe in God, but he doesn't believe in nothing either. Then comes Amara-wild, strange, alive in ways Elias has long forgotten. She asks questions he refuses to answer, forces him to look at wounds he keeps buried.
But survival has a cost. And love, he learns, can be as dangerous as any bullet.
Dust is a philosophical, poetic novel about the weight of belief, the fragility of love, and the ghosts we carry long after the storm has passed.

Remember that day, Helena?
The skies didn't cry that day. They whispered. Whispered her name like they already knew it would be etched into his bones. Helena. The girl who cursed the clouds with a laugh that made the rain hesitate. He didn't believe in fate. But he believed in that moment. The way she stood there, flipping off the heavens, wet hair clinging to her cheeks, eyes burning like the storm was personal. And maybe it was. Because when she turned- And when their eyes met- The rain fell differently. Not colder. Not harder. Just... slower. Like even the sky wanted to watch. And so did he. "BE DAMNED!" she'd screamed, and he'd smiled. Because that's when he knew: God might've made angels jealous... But Henry O'Brien? He'd never survive her.Complete
