Charlie Dane was content to live his quiet, small existence amongst the pine trees and beaten roads of Crestwood until the day he died, reading books and doing his best to stay out of everyone's way – until his mother receives a call that will change all of their lives forever, catapulting them into the fast lane of San Rivera's city limits. Life in San Rivera seems almost like a dream at first, with its bright buildings of glass and the warm, bubbly exteriors of new friends. 

Then he starts to hear the voices.

Suddenly, the dream Charlie's living begins to turn into a nightmare he can't escape. Bound by tradition, trapped by his own consciousness, the world of possibilities begins to crash inward on Charlie until he feels like his back is breaking.

How can he survive in a world where even his thoughts aren't safe?

50 parts Ongoing Mature
Kyra is the leader of the Elementals and the general of their army, a fierce advocate for their rights. In a world where Elementals are bound by oppressive laws, she's a symbol of strength, never allowing her omega nature to show. Vulnerability isn't an option. But when her senses draw her to her scent matches, will she let herself surrender and embrace who she truly is-or continue to fight alone? Hudson has always fought for Elementals, driven by memories of friends taken to brutal training centers. As an alpha working undercover in the system, he's determined to dismantle it from within, even if it means keeping secrets from those he loves. Grayson, an alpha, dreams of building a pack. Though he's found strong, loyal packmates, the absence of an omega weighs on him. He craves someone who'll trust him wholly, someone to anchor them all. But years of disappointment have pushed him to focus instead on helping other Elementals navigate a hostile world. Ash, a beta, once felt insecure about his designation. But his packmates changed that, showing him unconditional love and trust. Now a skilled mechanic, he's the steady rock of the pack-but he knows they're incomplete. Finding the missing piece to their family has become his quiet hope. Riggs, the stoic alpha, values control above all. A traumatic past taught him how easily everything can fall apart, and now his vigilance protects those he loves. But the idea of welcoming an omega terrifies him-what if he fails to keep them safe? Still, the yearning for connection lingers, no matter how much he tries to bury it. For Kyra and these four men, fate is set in motion. Bonds will form, challenges will rise, and they'll all have to decide: will they let fear hold them back, or risk everything for the pack they've always longed for?

9 parts Ongoing Mature
In a world where darkness reigns and monsters rule, humanity's survival depends on those with power. A decade ago, the Earth fell to horrific creatures-beasts that tore apart cities and destroyed what remained of civilization. In the aftermath, society fractured into four groups, each shaped by its beliefs and the supernatural abilities that arose in response to the terror. Angels heal the wounded but at the cost of their vitality. Demons wage war on the monsters, fueled by their thirst for human blood. Rare and feared devils wield blood magic that allows them to control the essence of life itself, but they must feast on monster blood to regain their strength. And then there are the God-powered-a mysterious few who possess elemental abilities that could hold the key to ending the chaos but are believed to be little more than a myth. Emery, a quiet college student, lives in the shadows of this broken world. Though she possesses the powers of a Devil, she keeps her identity hidden, unwilling to draw attention. Her days are spent in isolation, away from the chaos, with only her books and a few trusted friends to keep her company. But when whispers of a possible God-powered emerge, Emery is thrust into a deadly race. If she can find them, the union of the Devil and God could be the world's only chance at survival. But trust is scarce, and betrayal lurks in every corner. Demons are unpredictable, Angels are slowly losing their strength, and the Devils grow increasingly detached from humanity, fueled by the monster blood they consume. As the hunt for the last hope intensifies, Emery must navigate a world of shifting allegiances, hidden agendas, and monsters that are not always what they seem. In this dystopian future, where fear and power rule, Emery will have to decide if saving the world is worth the cost of her humanity.

When he and his family move across the country, he stumbles upon an old pair of glasses and a note telling him to come home. With these, he discovers that the world of his dreams is in fact real, existing just beyond the realm of humanity. And Charlie is its Creator. Developed entirely by his imagination, Arion is everything Charlie ever dreamed. But the world is in trouble.
