A golden-backed mission, a glittering foundation, a public spectacle that promised to carry a chosen few beyond a dying Earth. What the cameras didn’t show was the cost: an engineered myth, a falsified dataset, a sealed lab log—and something crystalline waiting in the dust of another world. Maya Sarkar buried her child and buried her faith in institutions. Captain Isabel “Iz” Moretti gave her life to command, then came home to a child who should have stayed an absence. A young microbiologist named Yuki learns her single exposure was a planetary vector.

The forest crowned her. The thorns obey her. But power never comes without sacrifice. Seryth has survived the Hollow—but not unscathed.

Magic seeps through her veins like sap, ancient and wild, reshaping not just her fate but the balance of power across a crumbling kingdom. But claiming a crown is not the same as keeping it. Old enemies stir beneath sacred roots. The Order that once hunted her now seeks to control her.

When Lydia Ramsey receives an urgent state warning about Harwick Gorge Bridge, she expects a difficult inspection.

Hydrologist Maren Ellis notices a small inconsistency buried inside Harwick County’s overnight flood-monitoring reports. The numbers look plausible. But they don’t match the watershed. What follows is a race against a rapidly escalating flood event driven by corrupted calibration data, outdated dam records, accelerating snowmelt, and a storm system far larger than the county realizes.

The body of teacher Beth Jacobson lies undisturbed among leaf litter and shrubs until two bird watchers stumble upon her decomposed remains at the Pocosin Mission Ruins in Shenandoah National Park. Suffocation is the cause of death, but the strange claw-like marks on her jacket raise questions. The Investigative Services Branch is called in, and Special Agent Kelsey Holloway takes the lead. Still reeling from a tragic incident at Yosemite, Kelsey is plagued by nightmares and flashbacks.

Selene never asked to become a weapon, but when the memories holding her world together begin collapsing, she is forced into the role of the last Witness—the only person capable of entering unstable realms and battling the creatures born from forgotten history. Armed with a living book that carves open portals and unleashes dangerous truths, Selene is thrust into violent time rifts, shadow-ridden landscapes, and battles that twist the laws of the world itself. Every mission demands blood, memory, or both—and the cost is rising. But she isn’t alone.
