BINARIUS, A TALE OF VICTIM AND
PERPETRATOR, AND THOSE WHO INEVITABLY -- ARE BOTH.
Somewhere beneath, within, outside the timelines of the cosmos, a planet has been tactically infected with poison.
For this reason, Firinne lives with constant anxiety.
She remembers a time when she was normal;
before The Blacken came.
Seemingly overnight, she is faced with betrayal,
forcing her to abandon Citrine.
What she finds is a world gone mad.
Hunted by her betrayer and packs of mechanical creatures - she finds a ruin that lights up the sky, and an electric orphan who hides in the shadows.
Together, they discover a prophecy that could ensure the survival of their planet - if they can manage to stay alive.
The end of The Blacken might be near, but sometimes endings are disguised as new beginnings --
and some endings last forever.

Of Wild and Wither
Camdyn never wanted to lead. But when his brother is killed and their community falters, he's forced into a role he was never meant to fill. As the Withering spreads, twisting creatures and devouring the land, Camdyn sets out to find a cure. In the wreckage of human civilization, magic has reawakened, and with it, old beings long forced into hiding. Camdyn forges an uneasy alliance with Flora, a tree nymph sworn to protect the wilds, and Saelune, a Sirin haunted by visions of ruin. Together they discover a devastating truth: the Withering is not a disease, but the symptom of a world where the ancient source of balance has been broken. To heal it, they must journey into the Verdant Deep, where salvation comes at a price and the cost of restoring harmony may demand more than any of them are ready to give. **content warning: some (biological) horror elements are depicted throughout the story** __________________ "Camdyn froze. The creature stepped into view. It had once been a large stag, but now it was something else-mutated and rabid. Its head hung crooked on its neck, its coat patchy and matted, blackened with disease and decay. Its eyes locked onto his, hollow and haunting. Even the ground seemed to rot under its tread. He'd seen it before. Once. With his brother. The creature wasn't the same, but the sickness was."
Prisons of Ice and Fire
A CliFi short story. Imagine a place where there is a searing thousand mile desert that runs to a sea... ...a sea that one hundred miles off shore is so cold you die within a minute if you fall in. Five hundred miles to the south of the sea is a frozen landscape in perpetual winter... ... a place that is always snowed on and that frequently calves monster icebergs. Hardly anywhere on land is safe; little life survives. The last refuge of mankind are the Stilt Cities, floating in the middle of the ocean. To the north are the Desert Domes: the last farms, protecting plants from the intense heat and sand. To the south the Ice Quarries: the last supply of fresh, cooling water. A current system moves strongly along the divide of heat and cold, but rarely over it. You, however, move across it like a metronome... tick... tick... tick... ...and as the prison ship Destiny plies the waves, a secretive cult have a strange request of the Captain.Complete

Of Dragon and Sorrows - Book 1
A Kingdom Forged in Blood. A War Born of Lies. A Destiny Written Beneath the Moon.** For ten long years, the Noble Houses of Devraen and the Tribe of the Sea have drowned the North in frost and fury. What began as a single act of violence has become a war of pride, grief, and vengeance - a war no one truly understands. When the battlefield falls silent and the last embers die, Meher - the fallen heir of the Tribe of the Sea - must kneel before the king he once swore to destroy. With lives bleeding out behind him and his honor in chains, he accepts a bitter truth: Sometimes, peace demands more courage than war. But Devraen is not built on mercy. Beneath golden crowns and sacred banners, shadows move. Truth is twisted. Allegiances rot. And a serpent in black armor smiles beneath a borrowed light. As Meher and Amane uncover whispers of a hidden force - one that fueled the conflict for its own design - they must choose: Serve the kingdom that shattered them... or expose a darkness ancient as the snow, patient as the sea. Loyalties will break. Secrets will rise. And the North will learn: Not all enemies wield swords. Some wear crowns. Some offer peace. And some... are born in shadow.
