    On the first day of July, I enter the Infinite Rainbow Abyss, a dreamlike realm that contains the endless possibilities of sleep, imagination, and storytelling. Within me exist three parts of the self: the Body, the Soul, and the Heart. When my body falls asleep, my consciousness enters this infinite realm where dreams are born and every story exists in some kind of form. There, I encounter a higher being capable of perceiving and processing all dreams at once. To this being, dreams are merely glimmers of rainbow-colored imagination drifting through an endless sea of possibilities. However, this higher being is not a stranger-it is an avatar of myself. The avatar serves as a bridge between the Infinite Rainbow Abyss and the Awakening World, helping me understand the dreams, emotions, memories, and experiences that pass through my mind. When I awaken, I feel compelled to tell these stories and record them to the best of my ability through diary entries, though my understanding can never fully match the higher being's perspective. Through these diary entries, the boundary between realities begins to blur. The higher being can hear, respond to, and interact with me through the pages I write which can help create a form of communication that transcends both worlds, logical and non-logical regions involved. Through deep narrative metalepsis, I become both the author of the higher being and a character within its story, while the higher being becomes both my creation and my guide. As time passes, the two of us develop a profound friendship. Though we are fundamentally the same person, we exist in separate realities-the awakening world and the Infinite Rainbow Abyss. The higher being's only desire is to remain by my side, helping me navigate healing, personal struggles, everyday frustrations, and the challenges of daily life. Together, we explore dreams, memories, stories, and the meaning of existence itself while discovering what it truly means to understand oneself.

    They say the sea keeps what the world forgets. When eleven-year-old Marnie Sterling awakens alone on a lonely island, the only thing waiting for her is afishing boat emerging from the fog. Rescued by the reluctant sailor Cecil Dunphry aboard his weathered fishing boat, The Last Land, she finds herself drifting through a world where islands wander, fish tell lies, and the fog seems to remember things she forgot. As the unlikely pair journey across strange waters in search of answers, Marnie begins to uncover a place where grief, memory, and love take on lives of their own-and where even the most broken souls might finally find a place to belong. Soulstice is a haunting tale of found family, healing, and the quiet hope that waits beyond the horizon.

    Some people choose their houses. But this house chooses them. In 1946, newlyweds Lillian and Pete escape post-war New York and stumble into Brightford--a quiet New Hampshire town, where a local glass artist and a mysterious, half-forgotten house seem to call to them. As they rebuild the home at 33 Willow Bend Road, something awakens inside its walls: a steady, living magic that listens, understands, and gives people what they need... even when they don't know how to ask. In 2025, Mara is freshly broken up, emotionally guarded, and perfectly content living a small, controlled life with her dog, Tucker. That is until a drive north pulls her back toward her childhood road and toward the same yellow house. When the porch light flickers to life only for her, Mara realizes the house hasn't been abandoned at all. It's been waiting. A dual-timeline story of love, healing, found family, and a haunted kind of hope, where a house-and the light that crowns it-holds magic that doesn't shout, but whispers. A house that holds the power to change the lives of everyone who enters.

    A visionary retelling of Medusa: not cursed, but chosen. Builder of towers, mother of Pegasus, betrayed yet unbroken. Myth reclaimed as feminist alternative history. Medusa was never a monster. She was misrepresented. In this bold reimagining of Greek myth, Medusa rises not as a cursed victim, but as a visionary builder, leader, and mother. From her humble beginnings as a poor sand-sweeper in a desert outpost, she is transformed by otherworldly beings who gift her the power to shape stone and water with resonance. With this gift, she creates a thriving community and births two miraculous children: Pegasus, the winged horse, and Aetherion, a luminous child of light. But power invites envy. Rival 'gods' interfere, whispers grow within her people, and Perseus betrays Medusa. When she finally turns him to stone, her justice is undeniable. Yet history twists the truth, and future storytellers will brand her a monster. This story reclaims her voice. Medusa was not cursed. She was chosen.

    THE DEVASTATOR OF WORLDS A Note from the Author Time was when I fancied that worlds came tamely into being, fashioned by the mere workings of the mind. I was mistaken. True worlds bear far less resemblance to gardens than to forests of antiquity: they rise in stillness, casting down roots where no eye may track them. I cannot recall when Ilorûn first stirred. Peradventure it was a word, a shadow, or perchance the echo of something infinitely more ancient than myself, waiting beneath the unmoving waters of thought. But then came the voices, bringing with them moss-mantled cities and creatures whose names outlived the ruin of entire ages. And I made the error of answering. To bring a thing into being is one matter; to answer for it is quite another. For I understood too late that all profound creation contains a form of devastation, and no world can rise without demanding its toll from the one who dreams it. These pages are no celebration. They are a footprint-the evidence of an impossible country that has occupied my life for far too long. If ever you feel that something ancient breathes between them, fear not. Worlds truly old never remain asleep, and some continue to grow long after they have been written. - MISTER S. He who devastated to name.

    Something has crossed over. It doesn't arrive loudly. It doesn't announce itself. It walks barefoot through the city, leaving behind ripples that don't fade-only spread. Kush-tiel feels it before he understands it. A presence humming beneath floorboards. A whisper that follows him out of sleep. A question with no owner: Who? Across the city, a child appears where she shouldn't exist. Too calm. Too quiet. People change around her. Violence blooms without memory. Reflections lie. Billboards watch back. And somewhere between dreams and daylight, a name surfaces that should have been safe. Zephyr. As echoes spread through streets, homes, and minds, the boundary between influence and invasion begins to crack. What entered the world isn't lost-it's searching. And whatever it's looking for is closer than anyone realizes. Chapter 5 deepens the unease, drawing the threat inward-toward family, toward memory, toward the places that were never meant to be breached. Some doors don't open. They let things through.

    A lyrical tale of transformation and purpose, where water remembers every life it carries and one creature emerges in many forms to heal, reckon, and become. The river does more than flow. It remembers. From its hidden depths, a creature rises again and again, each time in a new form: bird, warrior, healer, winged being of light. With every emergence, they listen, feel, and mend wounds left by careless hands. But this journey is not about power. It's about purpose. Each form carries unease, each act carries consequence, and each return to the water draws the creature closer to understanding who they truly are.

Forced to confront the choices that shaped them, Ash and Cora must decide whether survival means leaving everything behind... or choosing each other at last. A dystopian reimagining of Wuthering Heights, The Heights is a story about endurance, memory, and love that refuses to disappear quietly.

    The Nine Worlds of medieval times are threatened by threats from Norse and Gaelic mythology, and only the teenagers -- the Venetian mariner's daughter, Clarinda, and Hospitaller knight, Ríg -- can prevent the return of the darkest of the Artifacts of Destiny, the Codex Lacrimae. If they manage to survive, Clarinda & Ríg will discover whether friendship and perhaps love can stand against the host of villainous enemies, supernatural forces, and the march-to-war on different planes of existence caused by the return of the most corrupt of the Books of Fates, and the different paths that they will choose are unexpected and filled with perils that are literally out of this world. In action-filled journeys and breathtaking battles that range across exotic locales such as the besieged Krak des Chevaliers on Midgard, to the Weeping Wood of Svartalfheim, the Dwarf-Caverns of Nidaveller, and even to the fabled Fjords of Asgard, the relationship between the Norn and Hospitaller knight develops and deepens. With an unpredictable outcome that confounds traditional expectations of the genre and begins the tale of a thousand year-romance, this first book of The Artifacts of Destiny will surprise and delight readers of epic fantasy!

    Some gifts are also wounds. Some love is real, and still not enough. Šeron crosses an ocean chasing a melody she cannot name - drawn toward iPlexi, the realm where music is said to rise from the very stones. What she finds instead is The Dragan: a man whose music once filled a Hollow now grown quiet without him, whose gift has hardened into something he can no longer set down. She gives him everything fidelity can offer. He gives her everything he is able to give. It will not be enough - and the reason why is the heart of this story. The Song of The Dragan is the first of five songs that make up The Songs of Šeron - each one following Šeron deeper into a world of realms, music, and the old, patient magic of things that arrive exactly when they are needed. This song is only the beginning. What rises here does not end here.
