Carina was one of millions left to die. She fought back. She found the secrets of her enemies and exposed them. They tried to kill her for it. When that didn't work they sent her off into space. Now, even though it was what she had thought she wanted, she has to survive a new planet, new dangers, and what feels to her like a whole new reality. Trigger Warning: There are scenes of battle and death, emotional and physical descriptions of grief, and loss. Religious trauma is also something that is mentioned though not in direct relations to the characters at this time. I am also posting this as I write it and may miss adding triggers to this list. Please note that this is meant to be a sci-fi romance with paranormal themes and mentions of religion, war, and captivity. If these themes are not for you I understand and hope you find the story you are looking for, but please put your mental health first.

MIDNIGHT ECHOES - Volume I Poems by Na Yama Somewhere between memory and moonlight, there exists a world that never entirely disappears. A world of forgotten gardens and silent chapels. Of autumn evenings preserved in amber light. Of letters hidden inside ancient books. Of distant bells carried across sleeping valleys. Of hearts that continue to love long after time has taken everything else. Midnight Echoes - Volume I is an invitation into that world. This collection gathers more than a hundred original poems shaped by the spirit of the great Romantic and Gothic traditions. Each poem is a doorway into landscapes of longing, beauty, solitude, wonder, and remembrance. Within these pages, moonlit lakes reflect vanished summers, abandoned estates guard the secrets of lost generations, and quiet roses bloom among the ruins of memory. Influenced by the timeless artistry of Wordsworth, Keats, Shelley, Byron, Tennyson, Rossetti, Poe, Baudelaire, Rilke, Goethe, and Novalis, Na Yama weaves together a tapestry of lyrical reflections that honor both the fragility and the grandeur of the human heart. These poems explore the mysteries that have captivated poets for centuries: The beauty of things destined to fade. The ache of remembering. The silence that follows love. The sacredness of solitude. The dream of eternity hidden within ordinary moments. This is not merely a collection of poems. It is a gathering of lost seasons. A sanctuary for beautiful memories. A conversation with time itself. A book for dreamers, romantics, and souls who still believe that poetry can transform sorrow into something luminous. Welcome to Midnight Echoes. The night is waiting. ## Please Support my Craft.

Southfield High was like any other ordinary school. So why was it like Hell for Max Rivas? Not only was it the only high school in the city, but it also housed the world's greatest number of social cliques and classes. You would have the rich kids who ran the place, the middle-income ones who stayed out of the way, and those from the slums -- loners, freaks, and basically every popular student's favorite punching bag. Max belonged to that last group. All his life, Max had only known survival. Whether it be finding ways to scrounge for money in his rundown house, or walk paranoid in the halls of school. It had gotten worse during high school -- until his senior year. When a new factor entered his life. Asher Grayson. The boy who made it worse before he could make it better. Everyone's dream friend, boyfriend, and basically Southfield High's resident pretty boy, Max found himself Asher's sole victim. But what if this one was different? What if, this time, he found an interest in his aggressor? And surprisingly so, what if those thoughts were reciprocated? Max had always thought lowly of those living the upper class lives. The ones who'd sneer down at him as they walked by. So why was this Hell suddenly not so bad when his life was turned upside down by the one he least expected? (WARNING: lots of swearing. takes place in a high school. you should expect it lol minor acts of violence/aggression as well)

But the machinations of the empire are entirely opaque, and a dangerous new game is unfolding around her. ​For the dead do not always stay buried. And sometimes, the boy you wept for returns as the very monster you were taught to fear. ​A sweeping, dark historical drama written with classical Gothic elegance. Step into a world of lethal palace intrigue, bitter ironies, and a tragic romance inspired by the timeless weight of Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre.
