She's afraid of the dark, he embodies it. Most say her dresses are too tight, her heels too tall. She laughs too loud, cries too much, and smokes like her life depends on it, and in some ways it does. Little do they know, it’s just a sparkly disguise, there to hide one panic attack at a time. "As long as they were looking at my body, they'd never see what was behind my eyes." No one can see through Deyana Cabrera's facade—not until he comes along. Some know him as an emotionless player, his nature as cold as the heart of ice in his chest. He changed through his girlfriends like they were underwear. But that was only because all the ladies loved the way he strummed his guitar when he and his rock band, "Celestia", would perform their electrifying songs on stage. With a tendency to pick order and class as his companion, Alexei "Alex" Morozova has never been tempted to veer off course. But perhaps one should never say never... One autumn night and their lives intertwine. She hates him—his arrogance and habit of never taking anything or anyone seriously—but over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each other’s looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him. Nowhere in Alexei’s plans had he ever prepared for Deyana. She’s chaos embodied—not at all his type—but that can never stop his eyes from following her wherever she goes. Together they fight to defeat the world's most evil demons in human skin. In a battle against corruption, darkness, and the monsters lurking beneath the surface, Deyana and Alexei are forced to face the unthinkable. But while they fight side by side, Alexei has no idea that he’s become her greatest obsession—the one person who dominates her every thought, even as she hides it beneath a mask of indifference.

Rollan, a determined arthropod, leads his diverse band of survivors into an enigmatic realm known only as "the beyond." After the shattering of their terrarium—a microcosm they once called home—they find themselves in a surreal, living world of pulsing landscapes, translucent spires, and infinite danger. Each step across the undulating terrain reveals a new mystery, but it becomes clear that this realm is not just alive—it’s watching them. As the group grapples with strange, predatory creatures and cryptic warnings, they realize the beyond is not merely a destination but a crucible—a trial designed to test their unity, resilience, and understanding of themselves. The world reflects their fears, doubts, and scars, challenging their belief in survival and the bonds they’ve forged. But even as Rollan and his companions uncover maps and pathways hinting at escape, they confront a harrowing truth: the beyond is a prison locked in a relentless cycle. To break free, they must face trials that are not only physical but existential, daring to challenge the rules of the universe itself.

In a lush, self-contained terrarium, Rollan, a solitary isopod, has known only the safety of his miniature world. Beneath the moss, soil, and decaying wood lies a predictable existence, shielded by the glass walls that define his reality. But when a jagged, glowing rock disrupts the tranquil balance of the terrarium, it brings with it a mysterious and imposing creature—a being from "the beyond" with a chilling message: the terrarium is merely a shell, and the world Rollan knows is breaking. As the intruder challenges the harmony of the small community, Rollan emerges as an unlikely leader, rallying his fellow creatures—ants, beetles, springtails, and spiders—against the creature’s divisive philosophy of domination. Together, they defend their unity against the growing crack in their fragile world, even as it reveals glimpses of something far greater and far more dangerous. When the shell finally shatters, Rollan and his companions are thrust into an infinite, surreal expanse beyond the glass. Facing an enigmatic force of light and the daunting vastness of the "beyond," Rollan must grapple with his newfound role as a guide and protector in a world that dwarfs his understanding.

In a world encased in glass, Rollan, a solitary isopod, believes the terrarium is all there is—a small, predictable world filled with moss, soil, and shadowy comfort. But when a mysterious crack appears, bringing forth a strange and enigmatic creature, Rollan is thrust into a journey that will challenge everything he knows about survival, purpose, and the boundaries of his existence. Guided by the creature, Rollan steps through the crack into a vast, thriving biome—a world teeming with dangers and wonders far beyond his imagination. As he navigates towering plants, flowing streams, and creatures both beautiful and terrifying, Rollan begins to understand the truth: the terrarium was never the entire world, but a shell meant to prepare him for something greater. But freedom comes with trials. Rollan faces predators, treacherous landscapes, and the overwhelming complexity of life outside the glass. As he struggles to adapt, he discovers strength he never knew he had and begins to see himself not as a lone survivor, but as part of a larger, interconnected community. As Rollan learns to lead and guide others emerging from their own “shells,” he comes to understand the role of his enigmatic companion—a guide sent to awaken the courage within. With the creature’s guidance, Rollan grows from a timid inhabitant of a confined world to a courageous pioneer in a boundless one. The Legacy of the Shell is a story of transformation, resilience, and the power of choice. Through Rollan’s journey, it explores themes of freedom, growth through adversity, and the beauty of discovering a purpose greater than oneself. Perfect for readers of all ages, this thought-provoking tale reminds us that the boundaries we see are often the ones we create—and that stepping beyond them is the first step toward true growth.
