    How does someone disappear? How do you start over where no one knows who you are? Where your past can't find you? Losing both parents a young age, then shuffled through the system, Gabby learned to stand tall and weather any storm. She didn't begrudge her past, rather regarded it as what made her strong, giving her the ability to face challenges rather than run away. With no attachments, after obtaining an advanced degree and licensing as a Nurse Practitioner, Gabby was on the hunt for new adventures. One took her to New York City, where she worked for a family she was certain was involved with the Mafia. She knew to ask no questions and made it a point to hear nothing. When the five-month assignment ended, she moved on to the next adventure: Boston. In Boston, she found something unexpected: a (grand)father figure. Caring for Bernard Driscoll, a self-made billionaire, was a dream come true. Conversations with Bernard were deep, he listened and gave advice like a grandfather. She genuinely loved him. It would have been a perfect assignment if not for his unredeemable grandson, Sebastian. Sebastian Driscoll was driven man, determined to make his grandfather proud by growing the family business. A phenom in business, his love life was a disaster. His penchant for dating fake women that were only after his wealth had driven a wedge between the two Driscolls. At his wits' end, Bernard set a plan in motion. After persuasion and a little coercion, he convinced Gabby and Sebastian to marry. In their mind, it was never meant to last, and love wasn't part of the equation. Until it was. But when Bernard's health failed and he passed, Sebastian changed into someone Gabby didn't recognize and their relationship imploded. After a disastrous dinner party, Gabby received a text photo of Sebastian with another woman. She was done. With public opinion painting her as the villain, Gabby used her New York connections to disappear without a trace.

    The sea remembers everything. It remembers every ship that vanished beneath the waves, every secret whispered into the tides, and every tear that fell into its endless depths. But people... People forget. They forget promises. They forget faces. Sometimes... They even forget the people they once loved. In a quiet coastal town lived a girl named Luna. Everyone knew her as the girl who loved the ocean more than anything else. While others searched for gold or pearls, Luna searched for forgotten things. Shells washed ashore. Pieces of sea glass. Old bottles. Rusty keys. Strange coins. To everyone else, they were nothing more than junk. But to Luna... Every forgotten object carried a story waiting to be told. She often smiled and said, "Everything has a story." The townspeople laughed. They called her the town's garbage collector. She simply laughed with them and continued collecting the sea's forgotten treasures. What Luna didn't know... Was that she, too, was something the world had forgotten. Hidden beneath an ordinary life was a destiny older than kingdoms. A truth buried beneath ancient magic. A curse born from jealousy. And a past even the ocean had kept secret. Soon, Luna would lose everything she had ever known. Her home. Her family. Her name. Even the memories of those who loved her. The girl who once searched the shore for forgotten treasures... Would soon become the greatest forgotten story of all. But the sea never forgets. And one day... It would call her home.

    Aetherra was never meant to be remembered. Beneath a shattered sky of glass and endless frost, the last remnants of humanity survive inside a sealed world forged upon forgotten ruins and buried truths. Beyond the towering ice walls at the edge of existence lies an ancient silence - vast, merciless, and waiting. But the dead do not sleep forever. When relics of a lost age begin to awaken, the foundations of civilization tremble. Forbidden machines stir beneath the frozen earth. Powers erased from history and feared even in myth return with catastrophic force. And hidden deep within the heart of Aetherra lies a truth powerful enough to unmake the world itself. Bound by blood, oath, and fractured memory, warriors are drawn into a war older than kingdoms - a war written long before their names were born. Every battle uncovers another lie. Every victory demands a greater sacrifice. In Aetherra, survival has always demanded blood... but remembrance may demand far more. As myth bleeds into reality, the line between savior and destroyer begins to vanish. Destiny becomes a burden carried through fire, grief, and ruin. And beneath the eternal ice, something ancient stirs once more - vast enough to consume gods and men alike. The world buried its past for a reason. Because if Aetherra remembers... everything burns.

    WORK-IN-PROGRESS - This story is a work of fiction. No AI was used in any part of the creative process, nor will it be used in the future. This is a promise I will make you, dear reader. A story written in three, starting with "The Madman's Desire." I originally started writing this story all the way back in 2015, and over the years, I've added, removed, and rewritten parts of it countless times. Till one gloomy July afternoon, I decided enough is enough, and that dear reader is why you're now here. The Madman's Desire follows the story of Kabeth, a young man travelling the lands in search of the Thamori. On his travels, he learns the ways of the world (magic) and reveals a dark truth behind the workings of the Thamori. The first book focuses on world-building and lays the foundation for books 2 and 3, but don't be fooled. Book one isn't a dull story by any means... EDITORS NOTE: I am not native to English, and therefore, I'm most likely to make mistakes from time to time. Please let me know if I made any by leaving a comment! thanks in advance. Also, I'm still working on some names, places, and titles. Everything you read may be subject to change as the story/book progresses.
