Stories are constellations—each word a spark connecting worlds.
This week’s releases mirror each other across realms—one forged in revelation, the other in flame.
In Wisdom Rising: Slices of Midnight steps beyond the veil entirely. Jon Dottingly thought he was writing fiction—until his protagonist, Marissa Bonifay, appeared in the flesh. What unfolds is a transmission from the other side of creation itself, a revelation that every story he ever told might have been real. Through her, we glimpse the first echoes of The Black Craft Saga—a cosmic myth that refuses to stay on the page.
Meanwhile, in Ashborn: Chapter 14, Dareya stands before the Dragon Court, accused by the very world she tried to save. Her bond with Veyrakh is tested as ancient eyes demand a single, impossible choice: blood or mate. The judgment of immortals collides with the raw truth of love and loyalty, in a moment that will define the future of both species.
Together, these stories trace the same truth: that what we imagine isn’t always imaginary. Step into the fire and the signal—two transmissions from different worlds, both calling you to remember.

When fiction meets its author, reality begins to unravel.
Jon Dottingly thought he was writing fiction—until the woman he created walked out of his imagination and into a Starbucks. Marissa Bonifay, once a figment of his fantasy world, reveals she is no invention at all but a messenger from a universe that’s been whispering through his words.
What follows is the unraveling of certainty itself, as Jon realizes that the stories he believed were his own were transmissions—real echoes from worlds beyond our own.
Wisdom Rising: Slices of Midnight marks the beginning of something vast—a bridge between myth and reality, where the act of storytelling becomes an act of remembrance.

Dareya standing before the tribunal of the Dragon Host, clutching Alira.
The court of dragons has convened, and Dareya stands at its heart—mud-streaked, exhausted, and trembling beneath the weight of eternity. Her every breath is measured against the expectations of immortals who demand one impossible choice: loyalty to her blood or to her bonded dragon, Veyrakh.
In a chamber alive with judgment and crystal light, the truth of her bond can no longer be denied. What begins as accusation becomes revelation as Dareya’s decision reshapes not only her fate but the fragile accord between humankind and the Dragon Host.
Ashborn: Chapter 14 burns with emotion and consequence—a moment of reckoning where love, honor, and destiny converge.
