The werewolf curse

Love in the Time of Chaos In a fractured world rebuilding itself from the ashes of ecological collapse and war, Love in the Time of Chaos tells the story of a people trying to reimagine what it means to live, love, and lead after catastrophe. Set in a vibrant, dream-infused future, the novel follows the rise, unraveling, and transformation of the Garden-a living, breathing sanctuary where dreams are literal power, and memory is the soil from which society grows. At the heart of the Garden are the Dream Cadres-ritualists, warriors, caretakers, and guides-tasked with maintaining the spiritual and ecological balance of their world. Every Cadre is trained to protect the sacred Dream Cycle, which links every living being into a web of shared experience and ancestral memory. But while the Cadres claim to serve all, power is still concentrated in a few hands, and cracks are beginning to show. The story begins with Kira, a seasoned Cadre commander known for her sharp instincts and unwavering loyalty to the Garden's ideals. But Kira is exhausted-haunted by choices made during the early Rebuilding and weary of the growing dissonance beneath the Garden's harmony. She is drawn back into active duty when Echo, a mysterious child-like being with no memory, no history, and no anchor to any known Dreamline, appears on the outskirts of the Garden. Echo speaks in riddles, dreams without boundaries, and has a strange ability to bend the Garden's rules simply by being. Though feared by some as a harbinger of disorder, Echo awakens a truth buried deep within the system: the Dream Cycle is evolving, and the Garden's rigid control over memory is no longer sustainable. As Echo's presence spreads, strange phenomena begin: people disconnected from the Dream suddenly dream again; hidden memories surface; old griefs demand to be witnessed. The Garden's illusion of unity is revealed as patchwork-many communities were left behind in the rush to rebuild, and not all accepted the Cadres' protection willingly. Alongside Kira, the narrative follows a diverse ensemble of dream-weavers, warriors, and survivors: • Alejo, Kira's former lover and a heart-weaver who translates emotion into song, struggles with his complicity in the Cadres' past decisions. • Elián, a quiet dream-engineer, crafts new links between people through sound and resonance, offering revolutionary ways of collective healing. • Rua, Kira's mentor, is the oldest living Cadre and carries the weight of decisions made in the early days of post-chaos order. • Tal, a mute emissary from a mountain tribe, brings forgotten stories and unspoken wisdom that challenge the Cadres' claim to universal truth. • Venn, a Deaf dream-mason, brings a tactile and nonverbal language into the story, reminding everyone that not all dreams speak in words. The Garden begins to split-not through violence, but through competing visions of what it means to live together. Some believe in adapting the old structures to be more inclusive; others argue that dismantling the Cadres entirely is the only ethical path forward. The mirrored city, a ruin from the pre-collapse era long thought lost, reawakens with its own survivors, whose dreams were never part of the Garden's cycle. Their existence forces a reckoning. Echo becomes a symbol-not of leadership, but of invitation. They do not claim to know the way forward, but insist on creating space for all truths to be heard. When a storm-both literal and symbolic-tears across the Garden, Kira is faced with a choice: defend what remains or help build something new. The second half of the novel charts the deconstruction of hierarchy and the birth of a radically collaborative society. The Dream Cadres dissolve their centralized power, forming a Web of Threads, where all communities are equal participants in dreaming and decision-making. Rituals once used to reinforce status are opened to all. Memory is no longer archived in secret-it's shared, sung, and grieved together. Yet change is never easy. Resistance comes from those who fear chaos, who long for the security of structure. The Garden weathers near-collapse as debates turn into ruptures. Kira, Alejo, and Echo mediate with tenderness and fury, insisting that vulnerability is not weakness, and that discomfort is part of transformation. Through direct listening, shared ceremony, and the radical act of truth-telling, the Garden begins to resonate-not as a perfect place, but a living one. As the years pass, some characters die, others leave, and the world they helped birth becomes unfamiliar even to them. Kira, after guiding the transition, quietly departs into the wilds, choosing to live as a wanderer. Rua becomes one with the Spiral Tree. Elián dies surrounded by song. Alejo vanishes, possibly becoming part of the earth itself. Echo remains until the stars fall-symbolically, not in ruin but in renewal. Their final act is to walk into the Spiral Lake and dissolve into light, joining the dream itself. Their part

The Vampire's Heart is a queer fantasy epic about memory, love, and the cost of holding history inside the body. At the center of the tale is Rehema, a reluctant seer whose bloodline binds her to the ancient Grove of Echoes-a sentient forest that records the pain and power of the world through memory trees. When a long-dormant vampire known as Ayo emerges from the ruins of time, carrying a fractured heartstone and a past that refuses to die, Rehema is pulled into a storm of forgotten wars, tangled timelines, and love that defies linearity. Together with Nyari, an echo-born being who exists across multiple futures, and Malakai, a former guardian of the Remnant who has turned against prophecy, they must unravel a map encoded in blood and memory. This map leads them into the Null Spiral, a broken space where time and truth dissolve, and where they meet the First Map-a living being who chose to remember every version of the world, and paid the price. As the past, present, and possible futures converge, the group must decide not how to save the world, but how to carry its scars and love through them. In the end, the story does not offer a neat triumph over darkness-but a new form of hope: the creation of the Free Seed, a memoryless origin, where choice becomes sacred again. The Vampire's Heart is a story about queer love that transcends time, about the echoes we leave behind, and about the radical act of choosing life and connection even after the world has broken.

Esi and Kemi are two queer African women navigating love in the quiet shadows of Accra, Ghana-a city that demands silence from those who do not fit its rigid expectations. Esi, a meticulous and reserved legal translator, has spent her life mastering the art of invisibility. Kemi, a bold and restless Nigerian artist, burns with the desire to live out loud. Their love blossoms in private-secret kisses, whispered promises, coded glances-but the fear of exposure hangs heavy over them, threatening to suffocate what they've built. When Kemi is offered an art residency in Amsterdam, it becomes a turning point. She begs Esi to see the trip not as an ending but as a beginning-an invitation to a life where they can exist without apology. Esi, haunted by loyalty to her family and fear of the unknown, hesitates. Kemi leaves with a single hope: that love might eventually pull Esi across oceans. As Kemi thrives in a city that welcomes her with open arms, Esi grapples with loneliness and guilt, watching from afar as the woman she loves begins to live the life they only dared to dream of. Through a series of letters, video calls, and painful silences, the two women confront what it means to love in exile, and whether love can truly grow if it is never seen. Where the Water Meets the Sky is a tender, slow-burning story of love, migration, and self-discovery. It explores the ache of separation, the weight of cultural expectations, and the radical act of choosing oneself. At its heart, it is a story about two women learning that love should not have to hide-and that sometimes, freedom begins with leaving everything behind.
