​⚠️ WARNING: BEFORE YOU ENTER THE GALLERY ​Welcome to the shadows of Venice, a place where art is not merely observed-it is distilled from life and agony. Do not turn the first page unless your heart is steady enough for what lies ahead. ​On Content: This work contains graphic descriptions of Body Horror, the desecration of the human form in the name of art, and occult spiritual practices. If you are sensitive to themes of anatomy, mummification, or psychological manipulation, proceed with extreme caution. ​A Word of Advice: Do not read this alone in the dark, unless you wish to hear the rhythmic ticking of a bone-inlaid pendulum clock echoing right against your ear. ​VENICE HAS NO SUN ​Venice, 17xx. A city resembling a corpse adorned in lavish makeup. ​Amidst the nobles who worship beauty to the extreme, Nam-a young artisan from the East-sees the fatal "cracks" hidden beneath the perfect plaster veneer. ​"Your plaster is beautiful," Nam spoke, his voice unnervingly calm. "But it is broken. Something inside... refuses to die." ​Lorenzo smiled, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Broken? That is life, artisan. Do you wish to help me... conceal it with your glittering shards of pearl?" ​Are you ready to "recycle" your soul?

Jona, a sheltered 30 years old woman, fled too late from her nest for the first time, to the most bustling and glamorous entertainment empire, Stellarvale in Locangel. Humble her job position was, just a utility worker in a film set. Bittersweet her luck was, encountering the hottest, multi-talented singer, model and actor Jack Rothell who she had dedicated her feelings for decades. Yet Roi Brox, a viscious ex-kicboxer champion turned actor, messed her days with his stormy mix of brutality and protection. If all this was not enough to bear, a gothic mystery-fluid figure showed up like a silent shadow between dreams and reality.

Advisory age: 13+ ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ SYNOPSIS It's been over a cycle since I was almost caught by the Hunters, since I was torn apart from my family and was thrown halfway across the dimension, to the Realm of Magic. They say Magic comes from who you are as a person, from your inner strength and determination to follow the path you're on- and if that's so, maybe I've lost it. Ever since that day I've been unable to spark even the tiniest bit of magical energy- or well, up until recently, that is. It all started after a slight deviation in this dream I've been having and an incident in the Nevadoran Forest- and now I suddenly got invited to study at a school for Magic, Arthyrell Academy. Will this finally lead me to the answers I've been seeking? ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ CONTENT WARNING A central focus in the book series is trauma.

Just because you're a monster is no excuse for not trying to be a good neighbor. When a truce is called between the Vampire Clans Revenant and Nosferatu, Revenant Vampire Tiberius chooses to use this opportunity to set a few things straight, including striking a deal with certain humans near his lair. But when an unidentified creature begins terrorizing the local area, Tiberius fears it will break the already fragile peace between him and them. And to make matters worse, Elizabeth, the human girl he took under his wing, is starting to see things that concern them both.
