Tales from the Triverse is part detective drama, part fantasy adventure and part space opera. I'm influenced by the likes of Iain M Banks, Isaac Asimov and ND Stevenson and work including The Wire and Gotham Central.

It begins with an incident two hundred years ago which crashed three parallel universes together. Portals open up in 18th century London, sending England down a very different path. We pick up events in the 1970s, with the Metropolitan Police having established a new department to handle portal-related criminal activity.

The story is about intolerance, immigration, multiculturalism and power. It's about what happens when incompatible viewpoints are weaponised to seed discontent, and the efforts of some to create a fairer world. In the tradition of the best science fiction, fantasy and crime fiction, I'm using the setting to examine themes that matter to me in the real world.

Who is it for?
If you like science fiction or fantasy, or a mix of both, this is for you. It's my first foray into crime fiction, but I hope if you're a fan that you'll enjoy yourself - especially if you're looking for something a bit different.

I write fiction that is optimistic, progressive and empathetic. Bad things can happen to good people in the stories, but the overall arc tends to be hopeful.

Note that if it were a movie, Tales from the Triverse would be a 15 certificate in the UK.All Rights Reserved

Max and the Universe - Book I by TheSpaceRings

What if there's a universe where this book is real? According to the multiverse theory-yeah, probably. And in that universe, 14-year-old Max Carsley is trying to survive being a teenager and a prince, all while living in a star-spanning civilization full of alien species, political chaos, and secrets that could shake the galaxy. Flying cars? Check. Wormhole portals? Check. Friends who actually make life make sense? Double check. Max's world is beautiful, messy, and more complicated than he ever signed up for-and the deeper he digs, the more he learns that ruling a planet is the least of his problems. This isn't your average Sci-Fi/Fantasy story. It's a cosmic mix of teen drama, space politics, and pure heart. And yeah, there's swearing. Yeah, it's a draft. But every chapter matters-so don't skip any.

THE MULTIVERSAL CRIMINAL by STRILON

A girl with secrets. Secrets on which the very fabric of space and time are threatened of their existence. "What she did was a crime"- is what they'd all say. But was what she did, really what she is being accused of? Is she really a criminal; a Multiversal Criminal? Harbouring knowledge unknown to any civilisation, about Gods of the Multiverse, she awaits a fate like no other. But there's always more to her actions. A man is on the lose, seeking the 'perfect system' for the greater good. But when it costs innumerable lives, is it really so noble? And a new organisation called IMG, is unknowingly dragged into this chaos, leading to an unfathomable event that changes all of their lives. The Galactic Patrol, the body of law and order, is depressed over the turn of events. But even when the sky seems so dark, some light shines through the gaps. And this time, it would change the Multiverse once and for all. Would death be their end? Or would there be something after death itself, that'd pose a greater promise? This is a race against space, time and what lies beyond. Be prepared, because what you might witness next may change everything you know, or believe! (~75,000 words) [Prologue+38 chapters+Epilogue with character introduction and additional parts] ____________________________________________ Cover by the amazing duo @avadel !

Cause & Effect | Ominis Gaunt Love Story by SallowsKeeper

Stella lived in the shadow of her parent's legacy, but she was okay with that. There was no way she could live a more impressive life than Draco and Hermione Malfoy. She accepted it. They both saved the Wizarding World as teenagers. What she couldn't accept was her mother dying. Minister Hermione Malfoy had been cursed with Dark Magic that was slowly sucking the life out of her. Time was running out and the funeral preparations were already being made to Dad's discontent... But Mum didn't have any fight left in her after three years. At least that's what she thought. Stella stumbles upon some hidden archives her mother dug up that talked about an ancient relic that was known for curing Dark Magic. All she had to do was travel to 1898 and locate the last wizard who wrote about it in his journal. Easy? Sounds like it. What she didn't expect was to get involved with a neurodivergent sociopath who plans to use Stella for bait in order to capture the infamous Muggle killer: Jack the Ripper.... But it's either bend to his will or never have the artifact that could cure her mother. Follow Stella as she learns how to catch a killer, navigates the past, and tries not to notice how attractive her new boss is. Love and crime don't mix... Right? Genre: Cold case romance / Very spicy, mature scenes ahead.

Loosely based on the folklore of seductive water sprites, particularly the Vila (a Central European version of Rusalka). Written for @AfterDark's "Mirror, Mirror" contest (Mar 2020) -'Mysterious Ways'. A young woman wakes in the wrong version of her bedroom. Or is it so wrong after all? ('You wake in a strange place, possibly as someone else.') -'The Listeners'.

Section F: Fairy Tales & Physicists by Reffster

With a princess killer to catch, a host of fairy-tale characters to wrangle and a crumbling career to resurrect, fallen hotshot Agent Fields has his hands full. And that's before the case leads to a story-obsessed, dimension-hopping scientist, hellbent on world domination. **** Dumped, demoted and assigned to the mysterious Section F, Fields' number one priority is reversing his sudden career-slide. Even more so after meeting his new partner, the borderline dangerous Agent Peregrine. A specialist in the Agency's most unconventional cases, she suspects the victims in a recent spate of murders are fairy-tale princesses from other worlds. And her prime suspect is story-lover and quantum-science genius Dr Frank Featherstone. Suspecting his partner is crazy, Fields' scepticism begins to wilt when the case leads to a comatose prince, a wisecracking witch and a very much alive princess, with a mean kick to the codpiece up her sleeve. What begins as a murder investigation spirals into a jaw-dropping, dimension-spanning race against time, as the two agents and their new offsiders battle monsters, dodge dragons and receive a first-hand hardcore lesson in fairy-tale lore, while trying to bag the bad guy - and just maybe save the world. *Formerly a Paid Story/Wattpad Original (so you know it must be good, huh?) but now free!*

Universal Warfare by Time-s-Alchemist

Hi there, I'm JD, a 31-year-old Venezuelan-Spanish Economist living in Barcelona with my Russian (pro-peace) wife Anna and our two kittens; we met in Italy eight years ago, and almost since then we have been working on this project. During our careers we've worked with people from South America to Japan, from Australia to Canada, from South Africa to Norway, the characters in the novel are based on people I was lucky enough to meet along the way who left me with invaluable lessons which we feel the duty and privilege of sharing with our fellow humans, hopefully sharing what cosmologists call "Space Bias". There are seven main protagonists each one with their own chapter - which can be read in whichever order you prefer, - two of them in present tense and the rest in past, it's all part of the story. They all have mixed backgrounds such as a Japanese father and a Taiwanese mother, a survivor of the Rwanda massacre, a Colombian with Lebanese and Portuguese ancestry, a Danish whose mother is German, a Jewish lady married to a Muslim man she met in Jerusalem, an Anglo-Indian guy inspired in a way in Orwell - character name is Arthur such as Orwell's real name, - and last but definitely not least a Turkish Muslim bisexual woman for which a Lebanese friend for work is providing help; my friend is working on her Ph.D. on gender inequality in politics, especially in countries with religious civil wars that have moved from the streets to parliament. The story's Universe - 7 trillion light-years, approximately 78 times the size of our observable universe and 252 times the size of a Hubble sphere - provides more than enough civilizations to present dystopias that can serve as warnings for the future - ideally in the style of 1984, A Brave New World, or Fahrenheit 451, - as well as utopias where we find A.E.I - Artificial Emotional Intelligence - along with futuristic ways of understanding childhood, education, and life itself.

He did not move from the spot where he stood. He did not hear Jace calling out to him. He did not notice the key slip from his fingers, making a little clang on the cobblestone floor. The only thing that crossed his mind were the words that he whispered out loud. "You're alive." _____________________________________________________________ Rayna Imperium was about to celebrate her tenth birthday, and she couldn't have been more excited. There was to be a big celebration in her honor, everyone from around the kingdom was to be there, near and far, including her best friend Theo Serpentine. What was most important to her though was that she would finally come into her powers as a witch, or Pytho as some called them. But on the eve of her birthday, tragedy struck when the former King of Somnium, Malum Serpentine, takes out the King of Terra. Through a course of events, Queen Ella, was taken prisoner when accused of the murder. Her Uncle Kalevi, Captain of the royal guard, the Bellator's, must hide Rayna away, keeping her identity a secret when the kingdom thinks the princess died along with the king. With the help of Rayna's Aunt Catherina, her cousin Cyrus and her friend Jewel, she prepares to become a witch, a leader, and as others join them, a fighter. Each step of the way, Rayna learns about who she is and finds out secrets that happened long before her. Along the way, she runs into old friends and meets some new as well as enemies that she cannot see. As her eighteenth birthday draws near, she waits for when she can take back the throne, but as she has come to learn first-hand, nothing ever goes as planned. ***Completed on Wattpad; May 8, 2020*** ***Published on Wattpad: January 21, 2020*** ***Completed: December 26, 2019*** ***Created: February 28, 2019***
