Beneath the Kingdom’s fractured crown, something ancient is waking. When Seryth is dragged into the depths of a dying realm, she discovers a world built on gold-veined stone and whispered bargains—where the light is dwindling and the shadows have teeth. To escape, she must carry a shard of that fading light back to the surface… but the deep does not release its prey so easily.

Villages lie abandoned.

As humans, we face challenges every day. In times gone by, they were usually simple and revolved around a daily struggle for survival. But as we entered the modern era we found that the challenges we faced were multiplied and we are often perched precariously on the edge between failure and success. But just a few simple words, each day, from someone who has walked your path, can make all the difference.

The sea remembers every secret—and it’s coming to collect. Seryth has weathered blood and shadow, betrayal and fire. But when the tides rise bearing whispers from a drowned kingdom, she’s forced to confront a truth older than the Hollow itself. The crown she thought she’d escaped now lies in the hands of an enemy who wears her face in the dark, and the ocean’s pull is more than a call—it’s a demand. Allies fracture. Loyalties rot. And somewhere in the depths, an ancient power stirs, promising salvation or ruin.

Blackbird House is a modern gothic about thresholds and plain miracles: a door that cools under a thankful hand, a river that insists on its sentence, and the hard, ordinary courage of staying.

Landing an internship of a lifetime right before Christmas at a prestigious New York law firm is a one in a million shot. My world is flipped upside down when forbidden desires and lustful encounters ensue between myself and not one but two of my colleagues.

A sycamore tree as pale as bone stands watch, a cracked pocket watch stops at 10:17 each day, and a ledger filled with rules whispers what it costs to live here: Kin before names. Bread before bargains. Never pay in leaving. The hollow keeps storms, secrets, and sometimes people. If you feed it heels of bread and speak plain, it will mind its side of the fence.
