UNWRITTEN: The Awakening
Emberlight is dead and the world has frozen into grey twilight. A Garnath street thief and a Silverhold paladin — strangers who have never met — wake to find matching marks burning over their hearts: the two halves of a murdered god, recognizing each other. As a fallen order purges the realm in the name of “necessity,” the thing the world killed a thousand years ago is alive again, and every power in Virelya wants it gone.
Mature (18+): graphic violence, sexual content, psychological manipulation, abuse, necromancy, and depictions of trauma.
Companions: Until the Last Light
The same catastrophe, from the ground. Kira is seven years old and alone on the streets of Garnath when the light goes out and the world begins to freeze. She runs to the one person who ever chose her — Selene — and is given the cruelest gift of all: a home, and the order to leave it. A grimdark story told through a child’s eyes, about found family and the cost of love. The one that wrecks people.
Mature: grief, child endangerment, violence, institutional corruption, and depictions of trauma.
Selene: Origins
Before the legend, there was only the girl and the dark. Orphaned at seven, Selene survives the streets of Garnath the only way a child can — by becoming something the city can’t break. Then she finds a starving girl with blue eyes hiding in a doorway, and the walls she built begin to crack. Where it all began.
Mature: grief, adult situations, violence, institutional corruption, and depictions of trauma.
