The Unicorn's Forest

Vol 1: The Unicorn's Forest Charlie Rivers is a 14-year old girl who is trying to get through high school without being noticed when she finds herself hearing a voice asking for help when she is only one of two who can hear it. She agrees, despite the fact the other person is someone she doesn't like. When she meets the 'voice' that needed help, she learns that it's a unicorn, yet she's the only one who seems to be able to see the horn. Everyone else thinks it's a horse. Charlie also learns that by having agreed to help the unicorn, she'd gotten herself involved with a group of friends, including the other person who can hear the unicorn, that she hadn’t been really involved with before. Not only is it changing her normal schedule drastically, given she hadn’t hung out with anyone before, but even her personal space seems under attack at times. As she continues to help the unicorn, she funds that going back to how she was isn’t as attractive as it had once been, before she was helping the unicorn but also she wonders if she really would want to. *Minor spoiler in the synopsis for vol. 2 if you haven't read vol. 1* Vol 2: Tip of Other Worlds Charlie and her friends begin traveling to other worlds in search of the world that the griffin canyon connects to. While they do that, Charlie finds herself torn with wanting to grow her relationship with Alex and beginning the expedition through different worlds. Then as the expedition begins, she finds more than she ever expected to find on other worlds, but ever in the back of her mind is the dream she had in which Beth, her best friend, dies in. A dream she's determined to keep from happening, even if she has to sacrifice the friendship that's come to mean so much to her. *Minor spoilers in vol. 3 synopsis* Vol. 3: Acclimating to a New World Charlie leaves her friends and is taken by The Lost. Her friends continue on and encounter a family who has the same disease they had just recovered from. While helping them, they learn about how this world is that of a matriarchal society and has been since ancient times. What that means they can't say, only that it's going to be awkward. Charlie comes to after a while, feeling like her brain had been I'm a fog and that she had been in a waking dream, only to find she's naked and in a kind of cage where she learns she's been taken as a slave. While she has no idea how this happened, she's determined to find a chance to successfully get out of that situation. Mature content will be either through implications or will only extend to the edge of it. The cover art was ai generated.

The City of two Worlds

"City of Two Worlds" In the divided city of Blizzel, where the elite live above in gleaming towers and the desperate struggle for survival below in the Techno Canyon, the gap between the two worlds grows ever wider. At the heart of it all is the Energy Tower — the city’s lifeblood, an ancient and powerful structure that keeps the lights on, but also hides dark secrets about its true purpose. Elián, a young engineer from the lower city, is haunted by the death of his sister, Ana, who died in a factory explosion covered up by the government. With no answers, Elián seeks justice, determined to uncover the truth behind the system that failed her and countless others. As the city begins to tremble under the weight of its own corruption, Elián’s path crosses with Oleg, the charismatic leader of the underground rebel group "RadioTapok." Oleg’s songs, filled with hidden messages of resistance, fuel the fires of rebellion in the lower city. Together with his newfound allies, Elián discovers that the Energy Tower is not just a source of power, but a weapon — a ticking time bomb waiting to tear the city apart. On the other side of the divide, Laena, a brilliant but conflicted scientist from the upper city, is also drawn to the tower’s dark secrets. As she uncovers the true nature of her family’s involvement in the tower’s creation, she is forced to question everything she has ever known about her world. As Elián, Laena, and Oleg forge uneasy alliances, the city begins to unravel. With betrayal, secrets, and the clash of two worlds, the struggle for control of Blizzel becomes a battle not just for survival, but for the future of the entire city. Will they be able to stop the impending disaster before it’s too late? Or will their efforts be crushed under the weight of the powers that control Blizzel? In this city of shadows and light, no one is safe, and nothing is as it seems.
