In the ancient stories told by the bards, every person is born with two names stamped on their wrists. One of the names belonging to his soulmate, while the other to his nemesis. There's no way of knowing which one you're destined to love until you find them, but Ellijah has always known. Knees bent on the scaffold surrounded by onlookers, Ellijah felt the love and hate that existed in her wrists burn in those eyes as cold as the wood beneath her body. Both names on her arms were the same, and Ellijah felt the bitterness of love and betrayal as she opened her heart to the devil.

There are few things that pirates regard as precious, most of them sparkling and highly valued on the market. They live life based on riches and legends that perpetuate through the waters of the sea. Hunting for mythological creatures has become a fascination for eccentric pirates, as legends say that where there are mermaids, there are also priceless treasures. Whoever finds one of them will be rewarded with the most abundant and exotic fortunes. This would have been Anakila's great fate if his mission hadn't failed and he'd been left in the care of a Triton for long weeks. [History Secret Friend group "Writing Squad] [Piracy] [Triton]

Founded in 1389, among the mountains that divide France and Switzerland, Saint Orpheus is an institution surrounded by centuries of forbidden knowledge, forgotten traditions, and stories that few dare to mention. Behind its ancient walls, the past is never truly dead (and some truths should remain buried). At twenty-one years old, Lucien is about to discover that his entire life has been built on a lie. Heir to a lineage long erased from history, he carries within himself something that predates even the ancient celestial orders: the Original Darkness. But Saint Orpheus is not the only place interested in his destiny. Aurelian and Samael are two presences impossible to ignore. Fallen angels, united by an ancient oath and by secrets they refuse to share, both seem to know far more about Lucien than they should. One awakens his curiosity; the other, his distrust. As the boundaries between the Firmament, the Veil, and the Abyss begin to become less secure, Lucien will need to discover who he truly is and why his existence seems to threaten an order that has survived for centuries.

Até aparecer para um café dizendo que visitou a escola onde a amiga trabalha, numa cidade que não aparece no mapa. A primeira pista está num material didático: alguém está ensinando pessoas comuns a encontrar lugares mágicos sem explicar o que vão descobrir. Os percursos levam a uma biblioteca fechada, documentos alterados e moradores que não querem ver suas casas transformadas em cenário de exercício. Com a confiança da amiga abalada, Clara precisa descobrir quem está distribuindo aquelas instruções e por quê. E explicar há quanto tempo vinha deixando Joana do lado de fora.

A photography student opens a metal box forgotten at the back of his grandfather's closet. Inside: old negatives, notebooks his grandfather never let anyone read, a sheet music dedicated to someone no one in the family knows, and a little red beanie that, after thirteen years stored away, is still warm. The grandfather can no longer travel. The answers stayed in the North, in a village that may not even exist anymore. So the grandson goes in his place, in the middle of the Círio de Nazaré, with a camera, a best friend who refuses to stay home, and the feeling that some photos hold more than they show. Twelve photos. Eleven empty places. And what was left out of the frame.
