Dr. Zayne Li has a secret. Three years ago, the renowned cardiologist stumbled upon an impossible ice cave in the forest outside Linkon City. What he found inside changed everything—a portal to a nightmare realm where monsters hunt humans, where the laws of reality bend and break, and where survival means becoming something you never thought you could be. He barely escaped. And he's spent every day since sealing that cave, ensuring no one else suffers the same fate. Until Hunter Nana Wang follows him one night.Curious, reckless, and too brave for her own good, Nana is Linkon City's strongest hunter—trained to fight Wanderers, not the impossible creatures that exist beyond dimensions. When a surprise attack shatters Zayne's carefully maintained seal, both of them are pulled through the portal into Avalon: a broken city suspended between life and death, where demons, vampires, and hybrids hunt the few remaining humans. Separated by the portal's cruel logic, Nana wakes in an abandoned classroom with no weapons, no backup, and no idea how to survive. Within minutes, she's being hunted. Within hours, she's convinced she's going to die. Then she meets Mina—a survivor who's been trapped in Avalon for a month, who teaches Nana that the only way to escape this nightmare is to become a nightmare yourself.As Nana learns to fight creatures that shouldn't exist, as she loses people she comes to love, as she grows harder and stronger and more desperate, one thought keeps her going: Find Zayne. Escape together. Survive. But Zayne is fighting his own battle, alone in a realm where he's already spent three years learning to be a killer. And when they finally reunite, they discover that Avalon has one rule that changes everything: The only way out appears once a year, during the blood moon cycle, when thousands of vampires wake and hunt. And anyone bitten transforms instantly. One portal. One chance. Two people who love each other enough to sacrifice everything. In Avalon, love isn't just about living together. Sometimes it's about choosing who gets to live at all.

Ymir Celestie of Lunar. He was a character I cherished because his design was modeled after me. One of the finest creations, and a central antagonist in the game I was working on. But if someone asked whether I’d ever want to live his life, I’d probably stare at them and wonder what kind of non-sense hypothetical situation they might be imagining. BECAUSE THIS MAN IS A FUCKING PSYCHOPATH! He's a butcher, a maniac, someone who would murder for disrepecting him, even if that's indirect. . . . And here I was… reincarnated as a psychopath, hiding behind the mask of a prince, and a professor. --- Disclaimer: All characters, events, and mythologies depicted in this work are entirely fictional.

Giuliana was born in Siena, Italy. At the age of 4 her father gave her a box of markers. She immediately began to doodle stories on the house walls. After a few weeks of repainting they finally gave her paper as well. She has not stopped writing since.

In the city of Harrow, an ancient bridge shrouded in fog and urban legends becomes the epicenter of a series of brutal, meticulously planned murders. What begins as an isolated crime quickly evolves into a macabre pattern, revealing the presence of an exceptionally intelligent killer who manipulates fear as if it were an art form. Inspector Gabriel Morrow, haunted by his past and increasingly consumed by the case, leads the investigation alongside the analytical Detective Helena Raine. They are joined by Clara Venn, a young journalist who sees in the tragedy the opportunity of a lifetime—unaware that each step she takes brings her closer to the heart of the danger. As the city descends into paranoia, the mysterious killer—dubbed by the press as “The Shadow Master”—turns the bridge into his main stage, leaving cryptic symbols and hidden messages that challenge the police and toy with the minds of everyone involved. Each victim is not random, but part of a larger design that no one can fully decipher. As the murders multiply, the line between hunter and prey begins to blur, and the true horror lies not only in the crimes themselves, but in the mind behind them—a mind that always seems several steps ahead. In Harrow, fear stops being an emotion and becomes an unavoidable sentence.
