      <image:title>Home - The Pathways' Series - Book 1 The Shapeshifter A novel of worlds, found family, and the cost of becoming</image:title>
      <image:caption>Skye escapes her sealed volcanic city and is scattered across the Pathways — a dying network threading between worlds — landing in the Spiral World with powers she doesn't understand and a past she can't fully access. A man called the Shapeshifter keeps finding her: ancient, singular, and genuinely dangerous. When the Pathways themselves begin to collapse, Skye must understand her own powers, who she trusts, and what she'll become to save the people she loves. Part epic fantasy, part found-family story — a novel about brothers who refuse to give up on each other, warriors learning humility through loss, and a girl discovering that the scariest power isn't destruction. It's the power to hold on to what matters, even as everything around you keeps changing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - The Grandmaster A speculative fiction story in five voices</image:title>
      <image:caption>In a world governed by the Limitation of the Lifespan Law — where the state assigns each person a calculated year of death — five lives collide around a single morning. A grieving guardian angel on a rooftop. A dying woman who gives away her remaining years to a man who was too busy to come when she needed him. A Realizer who feels something crack open inside him. And the Grandmaster himself: the chess genius whose beautiful, logical idea remade the world, now sitting alone in a smoke-filled room with the question his wife left behind when she closed the door. A story about what happens when a brilliant mind mistakes calculation for wisdom — and what it costs everyone else.</image:caption>
