“All life had arisen from the water, and to it was owed every form of existence. All the beauty and all the ugliness, all the pleasure and all the suffering, all the order and all the chaos, nothing would be possible without that deep, dark sea she was facing at that moment. It seemed terribly fitting that the end of the world had risen from him, too.” As visions of the Crescent Moon reveal a troubled past, the shattered remnants of the world after the Flood seem ever closer to a second cataclysm. {Continued from The Lighthouse}

The world has ended. There is no future left on the outside, nor humanity waiting to be rescued. What exists is a reality preserved by the will of a single person who keeps the memory of the world and everything that remains of humanity. The problem is that not everyone agrees that this existence should continue... Eine, a survivor of the catastrophe that destroyed human reality, dedicates her existence to ending the last traces of the people who were once at the center of these events. But, being unable to interfere directly in a dream that still continues, she must find hosts among the people who inhabit it. Her new attempt is Claire Williams. At nineteen, Claire has very ordinary concerns: university, the debts she took on to study, and the future she believes she is building. Now, however, she shares her own consciousness with a young man who knows a reality she cannot accept. As the boundaries between memory and existence begin to dissolve, those who walk between the two extremes will have to confront a question for which there may be no right answer: when the world has already ended, what does it mean to keep living?

Yi Jie was the genius of the Yi clan until he lost everything and became the fallen one. When an ambush and a beast attack leave him on the brink of death, a golden mark awakens on his forehead and an ancient seed pulses in his chest. Power, however, has a cruel price. Between a council that fears him, rival clans, some secrets, and a vast world to explore. Yi Jie must learn to control what awakens within him before it consumes him and before those around him decide what to do with him. A story about pain, memory, and the struggle not to forget who you are.

In the beginning of all things, before time was counted, the Void shaped the two fundamental forces of Erion: the Light of Nazari and the Shadow of Apolion. Decreed never to coexist in a single being, these forces collapsed when envy corrupted the darkness, spawning monsters and the Seven Deadly Sins. Eras later, when the fabric of the world threatens to give way, Elrick appears: a young man forged in pain and the assassin arts who breaks the most primordial rule of the cosmos. Mastering the four natural elements and uniting Light and Shadow, he discovers that his draconic blood and his destiny are intertwined with the supreme force of Creation: the legendary Seventh Element, the Void.

Torn between the relentless responsibility of governing the land and the intimate torment of not knowing her husband's fate, she refuses to succumb to despair. To protect the property and those who depend on it, Aemilia will have to find strength where only solitude remains, proving that dignity and love can be shields as sturdy as iron.
