    When a burned-out hotel receptionist in Hastings witnesses a strange meteor crash into the English Channel, she brushes it off as just another weird occurrence in her mundane life. But when the town’s eccentric "Tin Man" vanishes into the ocean—only to return… changed—she realizes something is terribly wrong. The water shimmers with an unnatural silver sheen, people begin acting strangely, and an eerie green light stains the night sky. As reality unravels and an ancient force awakens beneath the waves, she must uncover the truth before the world is swallowed whole. The end isn’t coming… it’s already here.

    When Abigail's creative well ran dry, she sought inspiration in forgotten relics. A trip to the Antiques Emporium led her to an old tarot deck, but nestled within was an intruder—the Ace of Spades. That night, her art took a sinister turn. A faceless woman appeared on her canvas, whispering a desperate plea: Find me. As Abigail followed the spectral breadcrumbs, a killer’s past resurfaced, clawing at the present. What began as a search for inspiration became an obsession—one that would unleash an ancient hunger. The canvas demanded more than paint. It craved justice. It craved blood.

    In a secluded convent, Sister Francis is granted her lifelong dream of tending to the sacred Relics—objects revered as the lifeblood of the Church.

    Amid a storm-battered lighthouse perched on a cliff, Ida’s quiet life is shattered when a preacher and his injured daughter arrive, seeking refuge.

As cosmic horrors descend from the heavens, Ida faces unearthly visions, unspeakable fear, and a colossal, tentacled entity hunting its prey. Trapped in the lighthouse, with danger outside and paranoia within, Ida must confront the limits of her courage and humanity. Will the light of the beacon ward off the dark—or signal an end far more terrifying?

    Jan 28 2025
    In a world where floating cities harness the power of enchanted pearls, the privileged live in dazzling towers above while the oppressed toil in the slums below. When Ezrin, a grief-stricken teenage rebel, is captured after a failed mission to dismantle the Empire's pearl-powered tyranny, she finds an unlikely ally in the Empress herself—a mysterious architect of revolution. With time running out and the weight of her lover’s sacrifice heavy on her heart, Ezrin must make an impossible choice: ignite the organ that powers the Empire’s floating capital or succumb to the Commander’s brutal interrogation. As the city begins to tremble and the pearls revolt against their captors, the fate of an entire civilization hangs in the balance.
