London is full of people who do things, build things, decide things - the "useful" ones. Then there are the others... This is a story about those people. About what happens when a peculiar, ancient organisation decides that "useless" is not a condition to endure... but a problem to solve. Not a thriller. Not a romance. Simply London, magic, and the quiet, absurd question of whether a perfectly contented pigeon might, in fact, be doing better than the rest of us.

It began with a question she couldn't answer, and a marriage that couldn't survive her silence. Now she's alone in a cramped Hudson Valley apartment. No plan. No safety net. Just room to breathe. Until one night, she wanders into a music venue... and sees him. She's not sure she has anything left to give.

After the Fall is a raw and tender love story; it doesn't promise rescue, but something rarer: recognition. For anyone who's ever had to lose everything to discover what they truly needed. 📖 New chapters released weekly.

Evermore Falls is a town that shouldn't exist-hidden deep in forgotten woods, wrapped in fog, memory, and something ancient. People don't find it on purpose. They're drawn there. A sudden inheritance, a strange letter, a job that only exists until they arrive-every newcomer has a different story. But their fates converge the same way: once you stay for seven days, you can't leave. Roads loop back. Maps distort. No matter how far you run, you return to the same wooden sign: Welcome to Evermore Falls. Seven arrivals. Seven entangled lives. In this town, shadows whisper, time bends, and questions multiply. Doors open to impossible places, people vanish without warning, and the town seems to be watching... choosing... waiting. To survive and if possible, leave, they must uncover why Evermore Falls brought them here- and what it intends for them next.

This is an urban fantasy told in pieces, born from real streets and real nights. Each chapter reveals more of the Genie's world, the people he meets, and the light he carries. If you've ever felt unseen, if you've ever needed a reminder that magic might be just around the corner - this story is for you.
