Something has already happened to Hannah. She just doesn't know what it is yet. What begins as a quiet sense that something is off quickly unravels into something far more precise- controlled, intentional... and impossible to explain. The truth, when it comes, doesn't feel like an answer. It feels like a decision that was made without her. And whatever was set in motion isn't finished with her yet. -Updated weekly on Sundays with the occasional mid-week surprise.

This isn't written in a traditional novel style. It's cinematic and dialogue-driven-meant to feel like scenes playing out rather than long narration. If you prefer character interaction, tension, and atmosphere over heavy description, this story is for you. A thunderstorm rages outside. A child searches for comfort. A mother whose presence is far more terrifying than the storm itself. Nyla Kryven is cold. Lethal. Unyielding- yet somehow, she becomes the only anchor in Ren Kaelis' unraveling world. This is a story of fear and awe... of a bond that shouldn't exist, yet does- strange. fragile. dangerous real.

Prepare for a Martian story of Hard Science and Painful Majic so explosive you'll have to change yourself just to be ready for it. Don't worry, it'll take us four years to get there from Earth, and in the process every cell in your body, now Homo Sapien, will gradually be replaced by Homo Martianus. I wish this deeply queer process alone could prepare you for the harsh nature of the surface. It won't. But, because of it, there is a chance that you'll survive. The systems that govern the planets however; they crumble around our would-be heroes. Human ambition rains from the skies as the foundations of the old world collapse. Write a song of destiny, find your players, and together form a ritual to transmute the reality of the planet Marsha itself into a rousing conspiracy thriller in which every chapter evolves alongside you, and every act is the sometimes uncontrolled demolition of the corrupt old world. When the Coda ends, what will be left of them? A new life on Marsha awaits. It will not be comfortable, but it will be alien. Vivit Terra Nova! Vivit 'l Tera-Rust!

Valleria never meant to fall for them. She only wanted revenge. After her mother's death, the quiet healer hires a band of mercenaries to help her destroy the man who once owned her - the cruel plantation lord who shattered her past. But when she discovers he's her father, everything unravels. Including her resolve. Because the mercenaries she hired? They're impossible to resist: • Meredith, the fierce leader whose dominance ignites something primal in her • Kaigan, the rogue who flirts like it's foreplay and lies like it's love • Davur, the gentle giant whose soft touch belies his brutal strength • Ahfi, the dark mage whose magic coils around her like a lover's whisper As danger closes in, so do they - each mercenary pulling her deeper into a web of desire, devotion, and slow-burning seduction. Valleria thought she was in control. But in their arms, she's unraveling... and she's starting to like it. Four mercenaries. One mission.
