In a world swallowed by ash and shadow, a child is discovered where the ruins still burn. She is fragile, broken, and marked with symbols no one can decipher. The scholars call her the Artifact, the key to a prophecy older than memory itself. We call her Lola. As they struggle to understand her, they realize that what she carries is not just power, it is a force that could awaken the world or destroy it. Every secret uncovered brings more questions, and every attempt to control her draws them closer to something they may not survive.

Ashes To Sleep
Ash Morrigan never believed in gods, let alone ones that fed on dreams. But when sleep becomes a battlefield and her body begins to slip between worlds, she learns the truth: she is the last living key to an ancient curse-a soul tethered to the Realm of Sleep, where gods are real, monsters are memories, and every desire has a price. Vessel, the masked emissary of the god Sleep, is sent to retrieve her. He is not supposed to feel. He is not supposed to want. But Ash awakens something in him that even divinity cannot suppress. As he guides her deeper into the shifting, myth-soaked lands of dreams, desire spirals into obsession. Together, they face ancient creatures, gods of decay and hunger, celestial courts, and fragments of Ash's own forgotten past. Her body becomes a temple, a weapon, and a battleground-craved by darkness, haunted by loss, and worshipped by Vessel with savage reverence. But Ash was never meant to survive the journey. She was meant to be sacrificed. And Vessel was meant to deliver her. Unless love ruins everything.Complete
