"Still think it's hopeless?" Douglas smiled.

"No, it's not hopeless, Douglas. It's impossible," Natasha said. "Your dream is a dead-end alley in the middle of the Twilight Zone. You've taken drunks, drug addicts, and prostitutes into the desert to rebuild a dream that will never come true."

He’s leading a group of people the world has forgotten into the desert to rebuild a ghost town from the dust up. What starts as an impossible mission begins to shimmer with something real: laughter, belonging, maybe even love. Amid cracked walls and broken hearts, they discover that hope doesn’t die—it just waits for someone brave enough to bring it back to life.

by A. K. Glandt

Daylin is set to die and doesn’t mind one bit—she earned the noose, after all. But a charming, power-hungry stranger sees more in her than a corpse.

Bound by nothing but ambition and a pact with a man who wants a throne, Daylin is no pawn—she’s the wildcard. She’s chaotic, unrepentant, and terrifyingly good at revenge. And while he’s playing the long game, she’s got her own rules. Together, they’re not just dangerous. They’re inevitable.

Tales of Regventus 1: Aldawen

The Kingdom of Regventus teeters on the edge of ruin, its last hope a boy who never asked to be chosen. Max carries the rare royal magic in his blood, yet doubts he’s the savior the prophecy demands. Charged with protecting him, Ansel—a steadfast warrior—faces his own turmoil when he meets Griffa, a gifted sorceress with a past as tangled as the kingdom’s fate. As they guide Max toward his destiny, shadows close in, alliances fray, and desire complicates everything. In a realm where magic crowns its rulers and betrayal wears a friendly face, the greatest danger may not be the enemy at the gates, but the secrets of the heart.

The air smells like peppermint and danger. Lords whisper secrets. A leap toward the sun might just lead her somewhere entirely unexpected. When fantasy crashes into her everyday world, Kara must decide what’s real—and what’s worth everything.
