"You will not die here. Not yet." ​The ruins of Black Hollow were supposed to be empty. Instead, they held a secret older than the Kingdom itself. ​When Hunter Rowan Vale touches a buried artifact to save his team, he unwittingly becomes the vessel for the Weeping Hunger—a Crimson Sovereign that views flesh as clay to be molded. ​He survives the massacre with bones that shift beneath his skin and eyes that see the heat of dying things. But survival comes with a heavy price. His partner, Caren, has been taken by the very beast that slaughtered their squad, and Rowan is the only one who knows she is still alive. ​Exiled by the Guild’s fear and driven by a supernatural hunger, Rowan must return to the ruins. But the voice in his head is getting louder, and the mutations are getting stronger. ​In a world where corruption is a death sentence, Rowan is walking the razor's edge between Savior and Abomination.

THE LAST HUMAN In a near-future where enhancement divides humanity into the modified and the obsolete, natural athlete Jayson Rodriguez makes an impossible choice: enter the Singapore Centennial Ultra, the world's most brutal race designed to prove enhanced superiority. Starting dead last among 200 competitors worth millions in modifications, Jayson carries only his father's worn shoes and the stubborn belief that human is still enough. But the race becomes something neither side expected. As enhancement systems fail in Singapore's manufactured hell—jungles, deserts, mountains that break million-dollar legs—Jayson discovers that forward means nothing if you run alone. Each time he stops to help a fallen competitor, he loses places but gains something harder to measure: proof that evolution isn't about leaving others behind. When Wei Chen, enhancement's golden child who called Jayson "extinction walking," suffers catastrophic system failure at mile 37, everything changes. The natural athlete who should celebrate his rival's collapse instead offers his arm. Together they stumble toward a finish line that will redefine what both words mean. Crossing in last place, broadcast to billions, they spark a revolution neither intended. Natural running programs explode globally. Enhancement companies scramble to explain why their perfect athletes needed help from supposed obsolescence. And in Denver's working-class Sector 12, Jayson and Wei build something unprecedented: a training center where enhanced and natural athletes learn from each other, proving that different doesn't mean divided. A story of connection over competition, of choosing who to become when becoming "more" is possible, THE LAST HUMAN asks the question that will define our future: When given the chance to transcend human limits, can we do it without abandoning our humanity? "Sometimes last place is exactly where you need to finish to change everything."

Rowan and Selene is a slow-burn tale of wounded hearts, quiet devotion, and love found in the shadow of war.

He stood there six feet tall, bare chested in nothing but sweat pants like if nothing were wrong. His hair was tousled in the hottest way, making my core wet for him. I couldn't stop staring at the v that led down his torso to the great beyond. My mouth watered at the thought of what layed just beyond the boarder line of the top part of his sweats. The sound of his throat clearing caused me to practically jump out of my skin from embarrassment. Averting my eyes further north, as a sly smirk spread on his perfectly pink lips. "Like what you see little wolf?" his voice deep and husky, making my knees buckle under me. "No." I squeaked all to fast. In one quick step he was behind me his lips at my ear. He was too fast way to fast for me to react. "Your body says different." He whispered while his teeth grazed my ear as he spoke, his warm breath fanned my skin, making me shiver.
