The Livindrel Chronicles: Where Things Like Us Belong
Alira's story begins where so many others are forgotten-
a nameless orphan in a city smothered by grey skies and shadowed alleys.
Her past is a mystery, her heritage lost, yet the questions inside her burn hotter than the hearth meant to keep out the frost.
When she finally steps beyond the orphanage walls, Alira is offered what she's always longed for: belonging. A family. A place to call her own.
But as the truth of her bloodline begins to surface, cracks split open the fragile life she's built.
Now, Alira must face a choice that could define her forever:
To do what is right, even if it leaves her utterly alone-
or to surrender to the promise of family, no matter the cost.

Death's Illusion
Her family named her - "Heir". The prophecy named her - "Death". Most named her - "Enemie". Alina Corundum's quiet life of observation is shattered. The ancient legend of "Life and Death", told for generations in her world, Agath, is awakening, and with the stories comes a terrible truth: actions have consequences, and a debt, centuries old, is now due.

A hidden rot plagues their city, a threat woven from illusions and manipulations that threatens to consume everything they hold dear. To survive, they must learn to see the truth behind the lies. Must learn to read between the lines. But in a world where perception is a double edge sword, the most dangerous lie might be the one they told themselves.

The Shattered One
This is an original work, so if you plan to offer something, don't. She woke up fractured, wrong, and forgotten. The world she once knew is gone, twisted by a cataclysm known only as The Fade. Now, forests breathe, light drips like water, and creatures mimic human voices with uncanny precision. Time bends in impossible ways, and raw emotion manifests into monsters. Nothing is natural. Everything watches. In this new, devouring world, a lake calls to her. The sky whispers her name. Something ancient stirs-something that remembers what she once was, before she was broken and buried. As she journeys through the remnants of a shattered reality, hunted by the very fabric of emotion, she begins to uncover the truth of her origin and the role she was meant to play in a world unmade. But some secrets are buried for a reason. And in The Fade, even your feelings can kill you.
