For Elise is a dark psychological romance about obsession, control, and the quiet ways harm becomes normalized.
When Nick returns home for Christmas break, he steps back into a relationship with his sister Elise that has never been properly examined. Elise has been obsessed with Nick since they were younger—long before desire had language and long before anyone thought to intervene. What the family once dismissed as closeness or sentimentality has been allowed to deepen unchecked, until blurred boundaries feel ordinary rather than alarming.
Nick doesn’t enter a relationship with Elise so much as he steps into one already set in motion, where intensity is mistaken for love and refusal quietly disappears. As he reconnects with familiar places and people, moments of discomfort begin to accumulate, forcing him to confront the possibility that what he accepted as devotion may in fact be something far more dangerous.
Heavily inspired by poetry, For Elise is structured around perception. Elise experiences the world through music—emotion as rhythm, repetition, and crescendo—while Nick understands the world through art, valuing distance, composition, and choice. Their relationship exists where those languages collide, revealing how easily immersion can be mistaken for consent.
This novel is not about taboo for shock value. It is about the normalization of harm—how obsession disguises itself as love, how silence protects dangerous behavior, and how everyone can see the signs without acting. Poetic, unsettling, and deliberately uncomfortable, For Elise examines what happens when the truth arrives slowly—and whether recognizing it is enough to survive.

Memories are the foundation of who we are. Some become imprints—etched into the very core of our being.
In the year 2111, identity is managed. After a devastating virus, the Genesis Foundation rebuilt society by classifying every citizen from birth as Rational, Rehabilitated, Forgotten, or Lost. Where you live—and whether you survive—is determined by the label you’re given. District walls separate the clean from the quarantined. Surveillance is constant.
Abra is Rehabilitated—deemed salvageable by the Foundation’s cold algorithms. Haunted by loss and craving something real, she becomes a Rehabilitator for their most controversial cure: Dark Knight Glycerine. But when she collides with the Freethinkers—rebels who reject the system’s psychological chains—she begins to question everything: the drugs, the labels, and even her memories.
Torn between the illusion of safety and the price of truth, Abra must navigate a world of virtual realities, memory manipulation, and whispered resistance. And as the lines between what is real and what is rewritten begin to blur, she’s forced to confront the most dangerous question of all:
Who was she before they told her who to be?

Tropes include found family, soul-deep connection (twin flames), rebellion against the system, memory tampering, slow-burn romance, and the unraveling of identity.
Blending the societal critique of 1984 and Brave New World, the psychological intensity of Philip K. Dick, and the spiritual resonance of The Celestine Prophecy, this debut novel explores a chilling world of class stratification, technological control, and metaphysical rebellion.
Embark on a journey where twin flames collide, memories awaken, and the rabbit hole pulls you into a love that transcends time.

she was never meant to survive him.
he was never meant to let her go.
The Dagger chose me. Bound me. Changed me.
Now it hums with power I can’t control, dragging me into a world of blood-soaked curses and gods who never grant mercy. My coven keeps secrets, my mother is gone, and the shadows are no longer empty.
Because he is there. The monster who circles me like prey, the man who feels more like destiny with every step I take toward him. His touch is danger. His presence, obsession.
And still I burn for him.
So I pray.
Not for freedom—because there was never a choice.
Not for love—because love was never enough.
I pray only that when Fate comes for me, I will have the strength to meet it.
The first book of the Severed Fate Saga is not just a love story—it is a reckoning. A Prayer for Broken Things weaves together curses and crowns, shadows and flame, and a bond so consuming it cannot help but destroy what it touches. This is love written in ruin, and ruin carved into prophecy.
