Kael is a nobody, a low-level cog in the industrial machine, until a magical catastrophe awakens a power within him: Resonance, the ability to feel and mimic all forms of magic. Now hunted by every faction, Kael must forge an alliance with his enemies to uncover the city's darkest secret before the Aether Blight consumes them all.

But the beast in chains is not the enemy—he's a prisoner of the same dark system.

This ability throws her into the path of Asterias, a cold and dangerously handsome agent from the secret order that polices these demonic incursions. Forced into an uneasy alliance, they must unravel a conspiracy tied to her father's mysterious death, a conspiracy that will drag them through high-tech heists and demonic cults, blurring the line between justice and revenge.
The Architect of Echoes
Author:James Daniels
I'm a programmer, a man of logic. I built an app to fake ghosts, a masterpiece of digital deception. My mistake wasn't in the code; it was in my arrogance. I thought I was simulating whispers in the static, but I was building a bridge. I created a recursive loop that amplified a signal from beyond, giving it form, a voice, and a hunger. It took my best friend. Now, it wears his memories and whispers my name in the dark. I built its cage, and now I'm trapped inside with it.
Echo of Ruin

But when a simple missing person case unravels into a conspiracy of stolen souls and monstrous abominations crawling from the shadows, he's forced to unearth the one power he swore to bury: the Heart of Ruin, a sentient relic that feeds on his rage. Now, with a shrewd Fae ally at his side and his former mentor hunting him, Kaelen must embrace his inner monster to stop a war that will consume the city and awaken the sleeping god of nothingness it was built to contain.

But when artifacts from The Auditor's perfect life begin to physically manifest in his own, replacing his reality piece by piece, Alex realizes this is no dream. He is a 'rounding error' in the cosmic calculation of his own life, and The Auditor has arrived to correct the mistake by erasing him from existence entirely.

The Keres Mandate

Now, the island is my prison, the walls hum with a power that invades my dreams, and I know the true purpose of this job isn't to watch, but to be watched... and then, to be replaced.
