Jarek Elderberry was never built for an ordinary life. Marked from birth by a scar carved with ancient Velorian runes, he carries the weight of a prophecy his family refuses to speak aloud. Veloria - the drowned world of their ancestors - fell to chaos centuries ago, but its laws still bind Jarek's bloodline, dictating who survives and who disappears.London Price has always been his anchor - storm-gray eyes, hidden power, a bond older than memory itself. But when she vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only a fading energy signature, Jarek is thrust into a spiraling hunt through forests where shadows move wrong and time bends around old scars.Creatures long thought extinct stalk the edges of reality: Sælions - guardians of bloodlines, bound by loyalty and instinct; Vareks - fractured Velorian predators who test the limits of ancient borders; and the Windigo-Wolves - hunters born of corruption and hunger, drawn to the rare, luminous energy Jarek and London share.As the Rite of the Tide nears - a sacred trial forcing every Velorian-Skinwalker hybrid to claim their ancestral ring buried beneath living ocean currents - Jarek must face the truth: the seal holding back an ancient darkness is cracking. Laws are breaking. Families are splintering.Some destinies aren't inherited.They're written in scars.Trigger Warnings:Grief · Violence · Blood · Family Trauma · Mental Health…

Tren Pickward solves disappearances the same way he runs triage: quiet, precise, and without wasting motion-because mistakes get people killed. He also carries two inherited abilities-Parallax for patterns and Stasis for stolen fractions of time-and he keeps them buried for a reason. When a string of vanishing cases leads to illegal tunnels, unmarked crates, and surveillance feeds that don't belong to any city map, the town's "quiet" starts to feel engineered. Ivy Glenstra is the only partner who can match his pace-and the only one who notices when his secrets start showing up in the field. The deeper they dig, the clearer it gets: someone is moving people like inventory, and a figure known as the Architect is building something that reaches far beyond their jurisdiction-and too close to Tren's bloodline.…

On festival night the harbor lights blink out, a clamp screams, and someone goes under. Seventeen-year-old Alessia Monroe moves before the town can gasp-no cape, no magic spectacle, just fast hands, a steel ladder, and a family that treats competence like a language. When the lights come back, a stranger is replaying the moment frame by frame, and polite people with silver-crest cards (teeth? crown? gear?) start using words like discretion and community safety.Echelon is what happens when power dresses like philanthropy and asks the gifted to be quiet. The Monroes don't chase glory; they keep receipts-literally, in a matte tin hidden behind a baseboard-names and favors the harbor would rather forget. Invitations become interviews; a cliff-house "briefing" feels like a velvet threat; a fundraiser rewrites history in white walls and champagne. Threading between it all are texts from someone called V: useful, unnerving, never free.As pressure builds, Alessia leans on the oldest coastal law-water tells the truth first. Expect urban-fantasy grit with political-thriller bones: protective mom energy, found family, slow-burn secrets, and a heroine who refuses to be anybody's evidence. The question isn't what she can do; it's who gets to decide what she's allowed to be.…

August "Gus" Grævz is haunted by the violent loss of his father, a curse in his blood, and a power that could save or destroy his family.

When a near-fatal encounter leaves Gus changed in ways he can't explain, he's forced to strike a bargain with something older and more dangerous than death.
