Where pressure builds, choices matter, and nothing stays simple for long.
If you’re looking for stories that grip early and don’t let go, you’ll find them here.
Across fiction, literary fiction and graphic novels - all built around strong characters, difficult choices and their consequences.
FEATURED PROJECT:
nebula
A graphic novel set in Hell, where the rules aren’t what you think - and breaking them comes at a cost.
Nebula
Welcome to hell!
Nebula wakes up in Hell expecting punishment. Instead, she finds a system - structured, controlled, and quietly broken.
The more she questions it, the more things start to shift. And in a place built to contain everything… change doesn’t come without consequences.
Featured Books
Elysia: Chapter 1
A breathtaking Young Adult urban fantasy graphic novel that blends the divine and the futuristic - a coming-of-age story set amidst a brewing celestial war between angels and fallen angels. Thrust into a story where people's guardian angels live alongside them day-to-day.
When Elysia comes of age, her wings start to grow, throwing into question her entire existence - and the past of her mother. Her father, a brilliant scientist, has created technology to allow these half-human/half-angel (Anxo) children to thrive.
Beautifully illustrated with over 100 full-colour pages, Elysia combines the emotional depth of Sandman, the scope of Saga, and the soul-searching intensity of Fullmetal Alchemist. It’s a fantasy graphic novel with sci-fi elements, where friendship and betrayal, hope and despair, collide in a visually stunning tale of identity, rebellion, and redemption.
