Will Max figure out his place or fall farther and farther into the background suffocating?

How far will you go to protect a town you barely know? Stuck in two worlds in her mind isn't always easy for Sierra. Her first world is having to deal with her family and trying to take over the mother role for her four brothers. And her second world is finding what is going on at her new school, including a boy named Kai, who has a mysterious past that will land her in a world of pain, danger, and keep her own family in the dark.

Cédric and Leïla were never meant to meet. He moves forward in silence, a prisoner of a past he's trying to forget. She lives day by day, refusing to think about the future forced upon her. In a school where everything is measured by image, power, and appearances, their paths cross. Two lonely souls. Two ways of surviving. And a bond that forms against their will. When the past catches up with the present, some destinies refuse to stay apart.

In the shadowed hours when sleep evades the weary soul, we builds altars from the fragments of a fractured world-raw free verse that confronts the ego's crushing weight and the digital haze of modern exile. Drawing from the grit of noir nights and the quiet fire of Catholic introspection, these poems unearth resilience amid PTSD's echoes, Ozark folklore's whispers, and a faith that questions yet clings to Christ's sacrifice in the stranger's gaze. Here, beauty blooms in imperfection: an outlaw's crown forged from internal turmoil, societal manipulations, and the slow, deliberate repair of a GenX heart scarred by life's dust and screen-lit nihilism. With a gravelly edge and a defiant grace, it champions practical gratitude over grand illusions-inviting you to linger at these insomniac altars, where transformation whispers louder than the chaos. Perfect for readers craving poetry that bleeds honesty, critiques the rush of progress, and finds divinity in the everyday grind. Discover the spark of one blood's cry in a collection that lingers like a half-remembered dream.

Welcome to Gashigura-a kingdom of strict tiers, quiet pagodas, and one gigantic secret: the Gold-bloods. They look human, work ordinary jobs, and complain about customers. But they bleed gold, wield impossible powers, and are the only reason Gashigura hasn't been overrun by the warlords and bandits tearing the outside world apart. Miyuki, a sharp-tongued 15-year-old refugee, learns this the hard way. Between a prejudiced landlady, market thieves, and a school that's constantly being wrecked by giant centipedes, fitting in is the least of her problems. Especially when her own strange ability-one she can't control-begins to surface. Then there's her new "friends": · Prince Kenji, the heir who's secretly the anti-emperor pamphleteer Pojo Mio-and wears a grotesque mask of his own father's face in protest. · Ren, a detached foreigner who's annoyingly lucky, eerily observant, and always where the chaos is. · Wei, an Aspirant hiding her own fears about a friend who's changing in dangerous ways. · Yan, the so-called "Coach"-a smiling manipulator who's decided every Gold-blood his age should be under his thumb. In Gashigura, the supernatural is mundane, school is a survival course, and rebellion wears the emperor's face. And Miyuki's about to learn that in a city where everyone's hiding something, the most dangerous secret might be her own. Gold-Blooded. Ordinary. And nothing in between.

"O-okay you can get down now." I raise my voice to try to stop her but she scoots closer towards the edge. "Oh god.." I cautiously keep moving closer. What have I gotten myself into?
