Its walls have held back five invasions, but on the eve of the sixth, the city's inhabitants know things have changed. Golems are coming out of the mist, and the bodies of the dead are rising at the Gloam's bidding. The city's last and most desperate line of defence comes in the form of the Crafters, individuals who can channel the power of fire, though they risk their sanity each time they do. The brightest of these valiant heroes are Tabitha a'Loria and her apprentice Gerald Reath. Risking their lives, they mount their airships, determined to save the last bastion of humanity - the Everburning City. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

Light uncovers truth-but in its brilliance, it also consumes what once was. From the dim recesses of an aging empire, a crime lord of quiet brilliance begins to unfurl a design long buried by history. With wealth as his tether and influence as his hand, he draws forth men, machines, and forgotten knowledge, seeking to resurrect an age the world has tried to forget. Far from the noise of power, a canoness lives bound to silence, prayer, and the discipline of her vows. Yet the ache of a missing parent stirs an older calling within her-one she had laid to rest. When she steps beyond her cloister's walls, she carries with her a grace sharpened by years of restraint, and a power the world believes dormant. Across steam-choked rails, along quiet waterways, and through forest paths where secrets cling like mist, their journeys begin to converge. One walks toward dominion; the other toward revelation. Each step reshapes the fate of the empire, though neither can yet see the full shape of the other. When faith meets ambition upon the threshold of a darkening age, which will endure-and which will be eclipsed? ▄︻デ══━一💥 Updating at least twice-weekly

A storm god approaches and destiny follows with him. While the rest of medieval Karnassis is ushered into the industrial age by the outlanders of the Öd, the humble island of Dyma clings to the past. They prepare for a time honored tradition -- the arrival of the Silent Chorus, a divine tempest crafted by Zoreus, the great eidolon of storms. But little do its people know, more than a god is coming to their shores. Mylo has never wanted to leave his island. But with his sister gone and a bond to a demigod accidentally forced upon him, his love of Dyma will be tested, as well as his fear of the world. Verana is leaving Dyma behind to become a powerful summoner, with ambitions to defeat the king and rule all Karnassis in his place. But her brother's shadow still lingers on her, threatening to turn those ambitions to a darker purpose. And a cowardly outlander named Claude hides a devastating secret. And if revealed, it could spell destruction for all Karnassis. When these fates intertwine, events will be set in motion that will change the Etherea forevermore. Cover Art by Amrin A. Sloat

Sequel to the Call of the Beachwick

this alternate timeline of Arcane, Shimmer and Chemtech are developed decades earlier by ambitious Zaunite chemists, including an early collaboration between Singed and a young Silco. Vander, as the charismatic leader of Zaun's underclass, unites the fissures with his brother-figure Silco to launch the Crimson Dawn Rebellion. Armed with prototype Shimmer enhancements and crude Chemtech weapons, Zaunite rebels catch Piltover's Enforcers completely off-guard. The uprising turns into a brutal slaughter, with enhanced Zaunites overwhelming the unprepared topsiders. Piltover falls, becoming an occupied city under Zaun's control for years. Resources flow downward, Chem-barons rise in power, and an uneasy truce is eventually brokered: Zaun dominates, but open war ceases. Vander rules as a pragmatic governor from the ruins of Piltover's council chambers, while Silco handles the shadows. Hextech emerges later as Piltover's desperate counter-innovation. Years later, the fragile peace shatters when Chaos-a mysterious, pink-haired young woman with glowing violet Shimmer veins-emerges as a terrorist force. She is the "first child of the new world," born from a tragic Shimmer bomb accident during the rebellion. Her actions force altered versions of familiar characters to converge and stop her before she ignites total war.

She doesn't know who that is, but she's certain stealing the identity of a dangerous pirate won't earn her any favors.

This is one heck of a Victorian-style fantasy novel. Add a spoonful of steam engines to make that darned technology tree come alive! Add a spoonful of love and hatred, so everyone has good reasons to brawl! Add a spoonful of madness to lighten up this gloomy world, and finally, add a spoonful of natural disasters to play the main boss... and so on! Phew, that's a lot! ... Year 931 in the Engerwick Calendar. The city I reside in has been hailed as the most advanced in the West. The main reasons? The world-shaking steam technology, emerging technologies, and the wellspring of chaos. Can't deny it, but the fact remains that people keep flocking here to live. This city always gives you a glimmer of hope, whether it's lies or illusions, but it's so close, within arm's reach, making you risk life and limb. A city of hallucinations. I am one of those dream-chasers.

The Empire bleeds. Once united beneath the Sun and the Moons, it now shatters under rebellion, faithless ambition, and weapons that defy comprehension. Marcus Cassius, a Praefectus of the legions, marches at the heart of this ruin. To his soldiers he is a commander; to the priests, a servant of divine will; to himself, only a man trying to endure. Yet in battle after battle, he witnesses the Empire's sacred rites turned into engines of slaughter, and faith itself twisted into a weapon. In a world where loyalty demands blood, where war machines channel the wrath of heaven, and where every prayer risks becoming a curse, Cassius must cling to the fragments of honor and humanity that remain-before both are drowned in fire and ash. A grim tale of war, faith, and survival-where the line between devotion and damnation grows ever thinner.

This is a story of impossible love, calculated treason, and the spectacular chaos needed to burn down a dystopian world. The Games are over. The war has begun. And the only thing more dangerous than the Mockingjay's fire is the Blue Demon's final rocket.

Laura Swanson is a neo-noir detective novel driven by observation, contradiction, and uneasy partnership. Laura Swanson is a private investigator in alternate history Victorian England whose talent lies in noticing what others instinctively smooth over-the pauses in conversation, the habits that betray intent, the lies people tell themselves before telling anyone else. When Evan Holt collapses and dies in a coffee shop at dawn, the death is ruled a heart attack almost immediately. Laura knows better. Her certainty draws the reluctant attention of Detective Mark Bell a recently promoted homicide detective whose instincts are sound but untested. Where Laura operates on ruthless logic and long-earned cynicism, Bell still believes procedure can protect truth. Forced together by circumstance and curiosity, Swanson and Bell form an uneasy alliance. Laura reconstructs the crime through behavioral analysis and deduction, while Bell navigates the institutional resistance that prefers simple answers. As they dig deeper, the murder reveals itself not as a single act, but as a sequence of quiet decisions-financial, emotional, and moral-that made Evan Holt disposable. Written in a neo-noir tone with a Sherlockian analytical voice the novel explores trust between unlikely allies, the friction between logic and bureaucracy, and the loneliness of those who see too clearly. Together, Swanson and Bell chase a truth neither could reach alone-one that implicates not just a killer, but the system that allowed the murder to pass unnoticed. Written in a neo-noir tone with a Sherlockian voice. The novel blends cold logic with moral exhaustion. It explores isolation, performative innocence, and the cost of seeing too clearly in a world that prefers comforting explanations. As Laura moves closer to the truth, she confronts not just a killer, but a system that relies on people like her to notice everything-while belonging nowhere.
