Maria Watches Over Us

Rays of Us

In the dystopian city of Rylos, where the government dictates love through a behavioral score-based lottery, Nico Knight is a man who’s always gotten what he wants. A nightclub tycoon with a reputation, he’s never had to answer to anyone until the lottery pairs him with Odalis, a quiet librarian with an air of calm that feels almost too controlled. To Nico, Odalis is a puzzle of a woman too ordinary, too unremarkable to pique his interest. But there’s something about her stillness that begins to intrigue him. Beneath the surface, he senses a storm she’s carefully hiding. Nico finds himself questioning whether he really knows what he wants or if his true challenge lies in the mystery of Odalis herself. (Sneak peak scene) Nico slouched on the couch, drunk, eyes fixed on Odalis as she read, the quiet hum of the room wrapping around them like a soft cocoon. Nico: You know, I never imagined a woman like you would be in my life. Quiet, composed... not my taste. Odalis (without looking up): And what did you imagine? Nico: Someone like me. Loud. Reckless. Odalis: Sorry for the disappointment. He blinked, his eyelids heavy, the pull of sleep growing stronger. Nico: “You’re like... an angel, in the wrong place.” His head dropped back, surrendering to sleep. Odalis glanced at him, a faint smile playing at her lips. Odalis (whispering): “You’re wrong, Nico Knight. Maybe the wrong place is exactly where I need to be.” She tucked him in, the soft rustle of fabric the only sound, and returned to her book. The silence between them now felt strangely comfortable.

Shadows Over Caldera

In a realm teetering on the edge of annihilation, where ancient guardians slumber and the echoes of a forgotten age resonate, Kael Renard and Lira Faelith must navigate a world steeped in darkness and fractured by war. Caldera, once a land of harmony, now stands divided, its people at the mercy of the tyrannical Warlord and his Black Suns—a shadowy force bent on consuming all light. When Kael discovers the shard of a powerful artifact tied to the mythical Vault of Aegis, he and Lira embark on a perilous journey to restore the Heart of the Vault, the last beacon of hope for their dying world. Together with an unlikely band of allies—a fierce huntress, a steadfast warrior, and a mage burdened by his own secrets—they face relentless enemies, treacherous landscapes, and the unyielding weight of destiny. As the shard’s power grows, so does Kael's connection to the ancient forces that once protected Caldera. But power comes with a cost, and shadows lurk not only in the enemy’s ranks but also within Kael himself. With each battle, the line between light and shadow blurs, forcing him to confront questions of loyalty, sacrifice, and the true nature of heroism. Shadows Over Caldera is a sweeping tale of courage and resilience, where bonds are tested, and the fate of a divided world hangs by a thread. Will Kael and his companions succeed in rekindling the light of the Vault, or will they fall, consumed by the very darkness they seek to destroy? A story of high stakes, breathtaking battles, and the enduring power of hope, this epic fantasy promises to immerse readers in a world where light and shadow collide in an unforgettable struggle for survival.
