Reality unravels in October 2025
Thirteen-year-old Kendra Kelly has always been different—haunted by dreams of drowning in ash and drawn to the whisper of tides that speak in silence. In her remote coastal village, tradition runs deeper than memory, and fear is bound in salt and ritual. When a sacred tide returns, Kendra is chosen as the vessel for an ancient entity known as Thessaval, the Hollowing Tide—a pre-Array Echo tied to memory, silence, and generational hunger.
Led to the shore under a moonless sky, Kendra is bound in ash and salt by her own bloodline, the final act of a pact long kept hidden. But the ritual does not go as planned. As the Veil thins and Thessaval reaches across the divide, Kendra resists—not with magic, but with the force of her own identity. Her defiance leaves a mark: silver-gray scars that trace her skin like tidal fault lines—resonance scars from a god that failed to consume her.
Rescued by the enigmatic Curator of the Library of Worlds, Kendra is taken to Pergamon, where knowledge is power and Echoes are studied—and feared. There, she learns the scars she bears are more than trauma; they are a beacon, a flaw in the weave, a memory of an unfinished ritual that may still echo through her.
As she grapples with what was done to her and the strange resonance now stirring within, Kendra must choose whether to bury the past—or face the tides of silence again. In a world of illusions and forgotten truths, she is a girl who refused to be erased—and became something else instead.
The Mirror Sleeps No More
A Shadows of the Lost Story
In the silent depths of Pergamon’s Mirrorhall, a forbidden vault awakens—and so does the thing inside it. When young operative Kendra Kelly discovers a sleeping Lythian with no name and no tether, she is drawn into a recursion of fractured memories and impossible mirrors. What begins as a quiet anomaly becomes a test of identity, will, and belief itself. To save the creature—and herself—Kendra must bind a forgotten story into being. But in a place where reflection reshapes reality, even made-up memories carry consequences.
Some bonds are written. Others are remembered.
This one was neither.

When nineteen-year-old Fiona Porter loses her parents unexpectedly, she finds herself with little more than a meager $150-a-month inheritance and no direction. Seeking a fresh start—or at least a temporary escape from her failures—she reaches out to distant relatives in Moonshine Hollow, Tennessee, a crumbling family estate hidden deep in the rural South.
Upon arrival, Fiona discovers a cast of eccentric, feuding relatives: the formidable matriarch Great Aunt Edie, the hot-headed Jeffro, the poetic dreamer Adair, the timid but sharp Jamilyn, and the charismatic but secretive preacher Loomis. What should have been a temporary retreat turns into a battle over family land, as Fiona learns she may have inherited “rights” to Moonshine Hollow—a revelation that Jeffro refuses to accept.
As Fiona stirs up long-buried grievances, old secrets begin to surface, threatening to unravel the Abercrombie family’s legacy. In a place where the past refuses to stay buried, Fiona must decide whether she’ll fight for a home among the Abercrombies—or run before their history swallows her whole.
