There's a little bug there, I think it's a firefly, did it just come to die with me?

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?

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.

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 São Jerônimo das Pedras, the sky begins to descend over the rooftops, and Ofélia, a restorer accustomed to fixing objects of difficult temperament, discovers that even the firmament can have poorly made seams. Among insubordinate umbrellas, impossible cities, and small inconveniences, an extraordinary occurrence transforms the lives of people who believed they knew their place in the world well enough. The Year the Sky Came Down Low explores belonging, the bonds between generations, the fear of change, and the difficult art of allowing what we love to find new paths. A story about departures, reunions, and the things we must learn to let go, even when we devote our entire lives to preserving them.

There is a kind of silence that weighs more than any war cry. It is the silence of the gap between the oaks across the frozen ground, the steam of a soup shared only with longing and the constant fear of waiting for someone who may never return. In Patavium, Aemilia became the lady of a home haunted by uncertainty. 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.
