The Last Subject of Aetheris

JinxxyBell
Seren awakens in a cold white medical chamber, her body bound by wires, tubes, and machines she doesn’t understand. She remembers only one thing. She does not belong here. With impossible strength, unnatural speed, and a strange power that allows her to shape reality itself, Seren tears free from the facility that created her—only to discover a city of towering glass, neon skies, and secrets buried beneath perfect steel. Aetheris is a marvel of advanced human civilization. It is also a prison. Beyond the shining towers, women and children vanish into laboratories. Entire districts live in fear. And the rulers above call it ascension. Hunted by the men who turned her into a weapon, Seren finds unlikely allies among the forgotten people below the city—especially Kael, the rogue with golden eyes who swears he’ll help her uncover the truth. But the deeper Seren digs into the horrors hidden behind the city walls, the more terrifying the answers become. Because the people who changed her are not just creating monsters. They are building gods. And Seren was their greatest success.

Love, Lust and Liars

Ropyr Woods has built her life on control, resilience, and reinvention. At twenty-eight, she’s no longer the heartbroken girl left behind in Honey Bell, South Carolina—she’s a thriving business owner with a reputation for strength and independence. Her relationship with Jeremy Lane is steady, safe, and everything her younger self once thought she needed to move on. With him, life is predictable. Manageable. Secure. Then Davis Lewis comes home. Once Honey Bell’s golden boy—and the boy who shattered her—Davis traded small-town love for the promise of a professional baseball career, leaving Ropyr to pick up the pieces alone. But when a career-ending injury forces him back into the very town he once couldn’t wait to escape, old memories don’t just resurface—they ignite. When Jeremy leaves town for a week to handle family matters in Colorado, Ropyr finds herself face-to-face with the past she never truly buried. Davis isn’t the same reckless dreamer who walked away years ago. He’s quieter now, haunted, carrying regrets he can’t outrun. And the chemistry between them? Still undeniable. Still dangerous. As long-buried truths begin to unravel, Ropyr is forced to confront the choices that shaped her life—and the lies she’s told herself to survive. Because love isn’t always loyal, lust isn’t always harmless, and the past has a way of rewriting everything you thought you knew. In a town where everyone knows your name—and your secrets—Ropyr must decide: hold on to the life she built… or risk everything for the love that once destroyed her.
