After waking in the infirmary of Glassmere Academy with no memory of who she is or how she arrived, Nora only knows one thing: a fellow student has been found dead in a grotesque tableau of blood and broken glass.
Whispers spread through the ancient halls. Professors deny everything. Her journals rewrite themselves in her own hand, confessing to things she can't remember doing. And in every mirror she passes, her reflection lingers just a heartbeat too long-sometimes whispering, sometimes smiling when she does not.
Drawn into the investigation of the murder, Nora becomes obsessed with the truth. But the deeper she looks, the more the evidence points back to her. Is she the hunter, the hunted... or the killer herself?
Dark, eerie, and unsettling, Through The Shattered Garden is a twisted psychological fantasy about identity, obsession, and the dangerous secrets that grow when reality begins to crack.

To Hell
She was supposed to get better. He was supposed to disappear. They were all supposed to forget. But nothing stays buried forever. Especially not the kind of secrets that leave teeth marks. In a city built on silence and sin, five broken strangers are dragged back into the orbit of a man they thought was dead. Each carries their own trauma, their own rage, their own crimes. Each one marked. Each one watched. Each one chosen. There's the therapist who weaponizes grief. The girl who survived and became the monster. The boy who turned pain into poetry-and then into war. The cult leader who doesn't believe in forgiveness. And the one with blood on her tongue and no name left to pray with. A list has surfaced. And their names are on it. Crossed out. Carved in. Waiting. This isn't a love story. It's a reckoning. A spiral into obsession, violence, memory, and manipulation. Read it only if you can handle: Therapy sessions that turn abusive. Confessions that turn deadly. Love that turns into a knife. You've been warned.Complete

Evelyn Cross, 26, has never felt alone-not truly. Even in her quiet apartment, even with the doors locked, even when the lights are off, she feels it. The gaze. The thing that waits behind her mirror. Watching. Since childhood, Evelyn has suffered recurring nightmares: she's running barefoot through an endless town of broken houses and hollow-eyed mannequins. Something always chases her. No matter how fast she runs, she never escapes. She never sees its face-only the feeling that it knows her better than anyone else ever has. After her estranged father's sudden disappearance, Evelyn is called to Greywick, an abandoned town he was obsessed with investigating before he vanished. The town was evacuated decades ago after a fire gutted most of it-but there are no records of survivors, no one who remembers the evacuation. It was as if Greywick simply... stopped existing. Determined to understand what happened to her father-and maybe herself-Evelyn returns to Greywick with only a recorder, a flashlight, and her fading sanity. But Greywick remembers her.Complete
