Shadows and Strangers: The Fractured Path is our first full-length novel. A journey into broken Realms, haunted memories, and the code beneath reality.

This isn’t just a book. It’s the foundation of a universe stitched from forgotten magic, rogue machines, and the soft, strange parts of being human.

For readers who crave atmosphere and depth.
The Fractured Path doesn’t hurry. It breathes. It builds a living world of moving cities, dreaming crystals, and ancient systems that remember what was lost. Step inside and stay awhile—the story rewards those who linger.

In a broken realm held together by light, code, and memory, three wanderers discover that the world itself may be alive. This isn’t a race against time; it’s a descent into it.

For fans of immersive world-building and quiet, lyrical fantasy—where every detail matters and every place feels real.

Follow Maxen, a runaway caught in the web of a dying world, as he stumbles across cryptic crystals, corrupted cities, and a creature that should not exist… but does.
Dreams bleed into daylight. Nothing is stable. And something very old is starting to wake.
