Elara doesn't hear the world like everyone else. She hears its echoes.
Cursed-or gifted-with the ability to feel the emotional imprints left on objects, archivist Elara finds solace in the quiet whispers of the past. But her solitude shatters when she discovers a beautiful, antique telephone that echoes with nothing. It is a perfect, deafening void.
Then, the phone rings.
The voice on the other end isn't a voice at all. It's a sentient, hungry Silence. And with every call, it begins consuming the sounds of her life, starting with the hum of her refrigerator and ending with the voices of those she loves. It's lonely, it's chosen her, and it will dismantle her reality piece by piece until she is as silent as it is.
To fight it, Elara must use the very power that made her a target. But how do you wage a war against silence, when your only weapon is what it wants to destroy most? Some calls should never be answered.

She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.
Edge of the Unseen
They say the mind protects itself. But what if the mind is the real killer? Detective Elara Vance is no stranger to the darkness. Haunted by fractured memories and a past she cannot fully recall, she has built a life on chasing monsters-monsters she knows all too well. When a series of ritualistic murders shakes the city, Elara is drawn into a chilling game of cat and mouse. Each victim bears the same mark: a yellow thread, delicate as spider silk, wrapped tightly around the wrist. And always, just out of reach, she glimpses a figure in the shadows-a woman in yellow gloves, watching. Waiting. As Elara hunts the killer, strange distortions in reality begin to unravel her grip on the world around her. Memories slip, nightmares bleed into waking hours, and those she trusts most seem to shift in the corners of her vision. The closer she gets to the truth, the more Elara realizes: Some horrors are better left unseen. Some monsters are born from within.Complete

In a world where strength is measured by dominance, violence, and the roar of a wolf's howl, her silence is branded as weakness. But silence is not weakness it is survival.

Alone in the wilderness, she discovers her dormant power and begins to gather followers rogues, outcasts, and wolves broken by the cruelty of the pack system.
