AETHER
Seven hundred years after the world ended in fire, humanity survives on ruins and superstition – and Countess Ella Wellington used to be very good at exploiting both.
As Yorke’s most skilled infiltrator, she stole secrets, dismantled threats, and vanished without a trace. Retirement was supposed to be permanent. Then a pagan cult struck at the heart of her kingdom, and the crown called her back.
The cult’s leader is elusive, and the trail leads Ella through the wreckage of a forgotten age – toward a truth that could unmake everything she thought she understood about the war, her kingdom, and herself.

WARPATH
The world is dying. Countess is sent to find salvation.
Deep beneath the ruins of New York lies Iroquois Warpath-a legendary bunker that has claimed every team that dared to breach it. Now Countess and her strike force must succeed where all others failed.
But what begins as a mission to recover lost technology soon unravels into something far darker.
Within the labyrinth stalks a war machine built to kill, and a voice whispers from the shadows-a rogue AI with a memory too human to be trusted. In the heart of the facility, Countess uncovers a forgotten transmission: a cry from the stars, from an intelligence called Legacy, lost during Earth’s final days.
As the mission descends into chaos, Countess and her surviving team must decide whether to obey their orders-or confront the truth buried beneath centuries of lies.

GRIDIRON
COMING SOON!
Legacy went silent. Countess and her team risked everything to find out why.
GRIDIRON was the most advanced surveillance vessel ever built, and it’s the only path to Legacy, the AI who found humanity a new home among the stars after the Day of Fire. But something went wrong. The crew is dead, but Valkyrie, the ship’s powerful and mysterious protector, is not – and she guards the ship’s secrets with extreme prejudice.
To retrieve Legacy’s distress call, Countess and her team must survive a ship that still thinks it’s fighting a 700-year war. Corridors move, minds break, and the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes that Legacy’s silence wasn’t an accident.

PHOENIX
Before the Day of Fire
In the shadows beneath the United States, a secret empire has taken shape. PHOENIX was created after World War II to provide escape locations for the federal government, military and wealthy elite during times of disaster. But decades later, it is funded by private equity and has almost no congressional oversight.
Neo Columbia was their vision for the future — a nation reborn, perfected, and built to last forever. But the price of forever turned out to be everything.
Told through the soldiers, scientists, and visionaries who built it — PHOENIX: Before the Day of Fire is the story of how humanity’s last hope became its greatest failure.
