Synopsis
Elian has always walked the thin edge between sleep and waking. Born with the forbidden gift to step inside the dreams of others, he treats it as a secret refuge-a place where he can scatter nightmares, weave comfort, and whisper hope into restless minds. But gifts such as his are never without cost.
Lately, the village has begun to change. Friends awaken with memories they never lived. Strangers claim to have shared the same impossible dreams. And in the dead of night, Elian begins to see cracks in the fabric of reality-shadows that slip through when no one is watching. What should have been harmless illusions now leave scars that linger long after morning light.
When a cloaked order arrives, seeking dreamwalkers to harness their power, Elian learns that he is not alone-and that his ability is far more dangerous than he imagined. The dream-realm, vast and hungry, is bleeding into the waking world, and every choice he makes within it ripples outward like a storm.
To save his people, Elian must descend deeper into the labyrinth of dreams than he ever dared, where time unravels, voices whisper lies, and nightmares wear the faces of those he loves most. But as reality bends and fractures around him, one question haunts his every step: what if the world he is trying to protect is only another dream-and he is the one who needs to wake?
"When dreams bleed into reality, nothing is safe-not even the truth."

Temporal Tantrums
What if someone was interfering with your dreams? Why do dreams seem to tell stories over which we have no conscious control? Who decides what gets into our dreams... ...and what gets out? What if the line between stories and reality blurs? If our own story was told would we really be the character we think we are? Who says that our personal perspective of reality is the only one... ... or the real one? What if travelling in time was possible for you? When would you go and would you be able to get back? If you met yourself would it really be you... ...or another person very like you? Book 1 of the epic series Tales of Strangeness and Charm. Follow Temporal Tantrums: To Discover If Reality Can Get Any Weirder Every time you think the plot has reached peak absurdity, someone pulls the rug out and exposes new depths. Is there wisdom in the chaos? This unpredictability mirrors the twists and turns of time travel, where nothing is ever as it seems. Because It's Not Just the Characters Losing the Plot In this universe, narrative amnesia, time loops, and characters with overlapping manifestations in different stories leave you wondering who's writing whom. This highlights the chaotic, mind-bending nature of the time travel narrative. Because It'll Make You Question Your Own Reality You'll start to wonder if the random events in your life are part of a greater narrative or just cosmic chicken scratching. This suits a time travel story where reality and timelines blur, keeping readers on edge.
The Last Oath: The Decline and Fall
What happens when narration becomes magic and monsters become stories? When meaning crumbles beneath the whispers of tales, and certainties drown in the din of words, truth wears a thousand faces at the windows of night. Survive. When the untold fades, and the unseen is lost. Endure. As kingdoms fall and life ebbs away, as souls awaken only to cage themselves within the lines of pages. Fight. For what remains is a silent longing to wake again, upon the shores of a dream unborn. ------------------------------------------------------------ A multi-character fantasy tale set in a world that has forgotten how to define itself, where eras chase one another in confusion. Knights confront the unknown, detectives battle dragons, and vampires raise dogs. The stars are wrathful, the kingdoms have fallen, and magic stands stripped bare. ---------------------------------------------------------------- For those who do not like indirect suggestion: A cruel, innovative magic system A dark fantasy that blends classic fantasy, horror, and the supernatural. Long story and slow build (although you can judge it in the second chapter) Multiple characters and a big world Exploiting (inspiration from) myths, epics and legends in worldbuilding Legends from all over the world: Europe, Africa, America, Middle East, Australia, Asia, Ireland etc. Mystery, investigation, and the need to analyze, focus, and use your knowledge and abilities to reach conclusions and form your opinion before the characters do (you are part of the investigation, not just the characters) Warning: "Contains graphic violence" "Not suitable for children"
Insomnia Wake #Wattys2016
What do you dream about? Adventure? Love? Bravery? What if your dreams are but another reality? Can you trust them? In Insomnia Wake, everyone is free to do as they please, both good and bad. The world isn't bound by the same rules as traditional society. Everyone here has a lust for their own adventure, no matter how big or how small. One day when Neuman is born into this new world, he is greeted by all sorts of interesting people, abilities that reflect the very sub-consciences of people, and a different breed of trouble than he is used to. Even if it is a sort of dream, does that make who he meets, what he does, and how he feels any different than that of his traditional "reality"? Or perhaps is this even more real than before? {(Hopefully) temporary cover done by me}Completa
Convenant: Mysteries untold
--- Prologue: When Time Bled In the beginning, the world was silent. The rivers had not yet carved the earth. The skies had not yet known the sun. All that existed was Time-endless, unbroken, untamed. From that void, a figure stepped forth. Cloaked in eternity, crowned by shadows, he was the first to name himself Lord. The Lord of Time. With a gesture, he unraveled nothingness into hours, minutes, seconds. With a breath, he bound stars to their paths, chained suns to their cycles, and shackled mortals to the fleeting measure of their days. But even Time cannot reign without hunger. And so he reached beyond his dominion, seeking vessels in which to pour his power-creatures, mortals, children who might one day carry fragments of his eternity. Most shattered beneath the weight. One did not. From the loins of man and the womb of woman, he planted a seed: an heir. A child of two worlds. Flesh and blood... and eternity. Yet fate has always been cruel. The mother, cast into the desolate Survival Lands, bore her son in exile. She fed him with her hands, shielded him with her body, and prayed he would never hear the ticking of the father's clock within his veins. But the Lord of Time does not forget. For though the world may bleed and the stars may crumble, every hour returns to him. Every path converges at his throne of broken hours. And when the child of covenant rises, his steps shall echo across timelines, shattering bonds, forging pacts, and tearing open mysteries long untold. The covenant has already been written. The question is only this: Will he break it-or be broken by it? ---
