Months have passed since Max Conwell returned from the depths of Atlantis, the tides of fate seemingly calm once more. But peace is fragile - and the Gatekeeper's mark begins to stir again. Whispers of ancient forces ripple across worlds as something awakens beyond the boundaries of myth and memory.
When strange phenomena begin surfacing across the city - people vanishing into shards of light, the air humming with forgotten power - Max realizes that the balance between realms is unraveling. Haunted by the legacies of gods and guardians, Max must seek out the remaining Pillars of the Gate before the seals collapse entirely.
Meanwhile, the Council stirs. Forgotten figures emerge from the shadows of the stars, each tied to a fragment of the world's creation - and its inevitable undoing.
From the depths of the sea to the skies above, from the halls of mortals to the sanctums of deities, a new journey begins. The Gatekeeper's path continues - and this time, the awakening will shake all worlds.

TideBound
TideBound: The Secrets of the Deep Await She was raised on lies. Now the tide is calling her home. Lena Thorne has spent her life landlocked under strict rules, told she's too sick to swim, too fragile to face the ocean. But on the night of her eighteenth birthday, a boy named Kai pulls her toward the waves-and everything changes. The sea doesn't hurt her. It awakens her. Silver light burns beneath her skin, memories flood her mind, and a hidden power she can't control begins to break free. But her transformation triggers more than ancient magic-it alerts the people who stole her from her real family. Now the CIA is closing in, and Lena's only escape lies in the depths of an underwater kingdom she's never seen but somehow remembers. There, she discovers a father she thought was dead, the legacy of a mother still imprisoned, and a world teetering on the edge of war. But the Deep Fold is no fairy-tale refuge. Allies keep secrets. Enemies circle in the currents. And Kai-the boy she's beginning to trust with her heart-might be keeping the biggest secret of all. The tide has claimed her. The truth will test her. And mercy might be her most dangerous weapon.
Soulbound Chronicles: Book III Eclipse of Arcadia
The Arcadia Cluster stands on the edge of annihilation. The Guild Nations lie in ruins, the Black Spire Order has unleashed the Eclipse Engine, and the heavens themselves are tearing apart. Across shattered worlds and dying stars, Rai Zenth faces the ultimate truth of his existence - he is not merely a weapon of rebellion, but the last living shard of a Monster Lord whose soul was never meant to awaken. As the RAVE Cores converge, the boundary between man and monster collapses. The power of creation itself spirals out of control, and every soul that has ever burned within Arcadia resonates in one final, catastrophic chord. Bound by fate and love, Mirai Kessandra, Dart Velden, Suki Shiranami, and Ashren Vox join Rai for a final stand - to decide whether the universe will be reborn or erased forever. But salvation demands sacrifice. And when the Eclipse Gear reaches its final form, Rai must choose: to ascend as the new god of a fractured cosmos, or to shatter his own soul and free every bound being from magic's chains. As galaxies burn and souls echo through eternity, the truth of Arcadia will finally be written - not in stars, but in the hearts of those who dared to defy destiny. The end begins where it all began. And only the soul that breaks can truly be free.Complete
The Kami Chronicles Book 3: Sea and Shadowed Skies
The ocean sleeps uneasily, and the heavens have begun to stir. In the aftermath of the Blood Serpent's fall, Jack Ryker-now bound to the storm-god Ryūjin's legacy-struggles to master the power that courses through his veins. The seas answer his voice, but so do the shadows beneath them. Across Japan, tides shift in strange rhythm, and the moon no longer rises clean and white-it bleeds. When a lunar eclipse lasts three nights too long, Lady Sayuri summons the Tidebreakers once again. Haruka's dreams grow darker, whispering of Tsukuyomi's imprisonment within a mirror of broken light. Echo's music calls restless spirits to shore, and Daichi swears the thunder speaks his name. To restore balance, the Tidebreakers must journey beyond both sea and sky-into the realm where moonlight drowns and divine memory fractures. But not all gods wish to be found, and some shadows are born from their own reflection. As storms gather and the heavens crack, Jack and Haruka face the truth that the sea and the sky are bound by one law: When the moon falls, the tide follows.Complete
Recalls of Surrender
Alchemy has always been a key to understanding the universe, yet it has often been dismissed as mere superstition. The truth seared through my veins like scorching heat, igniting every cell of my being with a searing, uncompromising judgment. I sacrificed everything-my strength and sense of identity-chasing after an overwhelming purpose. Duty and conviction waged a war against a primal yearning for freedom, unleashing a maelstrom of emotions that threatened to tear me apart. This internal hell fueled an insatiable, maddening lust for vengeance, obliterating my moral compass and propelling me toward utter destruction. Only when I made a final decision did the fundamental principles of morality seem to slip through my fingers like grains of sand. Each savage blow against the oppressive system left me questioning: am I a righteous crusader, or a monster consumed by hatred? The poisonous doubt gnawed at my mind, suffocating my thoughts with insidious whispers. Yet, I found the strength to silence them. With fierce determination burning in my veins, I vowed to break free from the chains of oppression or die trying. Fear would not hold me captive any longer. As I teetered on the edge of life and death, I couldn't help but wonder: would I emerge victorious or succumb to the relentless wheels of fate? The answer lies shrouded in the mists of an uncertain future, but one thing is irrefutable: win or lose, every decision will ignite an inferno of change. This cataclysmic revolution will raze the old world and herald the birth of a new era. In this cosmic roulette, even the most steadfast warriors can turn to dust in the blink of an eye. Therefore, are you willing to participate? Given that there always was, is, and will be war. Hope stands stronger than fear, yet anything is possible when darkness lingers. It is the deflection of accountability and guilt. Yet when all seems lost, trust that the butterfly knows where the water flows.

Veil of Twilight
Finally, the vampire spoke again, his voice deadly serious. "So, the question remains: will you trust me and undertake this dangerous journey, or will you choose an end far less... glamorous?"

But when her curiosity leads her into the depths of a forgotten dungeon, she awakens something far older-and far more dangerous-than she could have imagined.
