Summary
TC614 – designated “Clancy” – is an android, a humanoid robot built with a specific purpose: to hunt down rebels and eradicate deviant androids that threaten Dema’s pristine, tightly-controlled society.
Clancy’s directives soon guide him toward the Banditos, a rogue network of escapees and insurgents, led by a formidable man known to the Bishops as “the Torchbearer.” Haunted by a painful past in Dema, the Torchbearer now fights to free as many humans and androids as he can from the city’s control.
When Clancy accepts a mission to eliminate the Torchbearer, the two adversaries confront the boundaries of humanity and machine. Can something forged in circuits and algorithms feel as deeply as flesh and bone? And if a mind born from code learns to choose – can it ever be anything less than alive?

Summary
Tyler Joseph has seen ghosts for years. Not just ghosts – twisted and sad spirits: the ones who have died with unfinished business. He’s accepted his lot in life: seeing phantoms who can’t see him, working an overnight job, mourning the music he once had the confidence to create. His days are dull, and the nights are even worse.
But everything changes when he stumbles upon a ghost who’s different from the rest. He has fiery red hair and an unremembered past… and he can see Tyler.

Summary
When someone uses the term “butterflies in their stomach”, it usually has to do with a crush. But what if those butterflies were manifestations of the tiny acts of love someone showed you?

Summary
They were born in the same year. One under a bright sun, one in a room lit by neon. They both cried and screamed. And they both entered a world that was broken.
Was it destiny that their paths first crossed when they were 8? Neither could say. All they knew was that they both had a calling, an inescapable pull – to their futures, and to each other.

Summary
Tyler Joseph is the best in the world, and he knows it. Cocky and untouchable, he’s chasing a Grand Slam with no patience for distractions or rivals.
Joshua Dun is a rookie fighting his way up the ranks: grounded, humble, and far better than anyone expects.
When the US Open throws them into each other’s path, the question is no longer who will win - it’s why neither of them can walk away.

Summary
Tyler Joseph and his best friend Jenna Black have been chosen as tributes for the 21st annual Glorious Games, a livestreamed death-match in which only one will survive, and he knows it’s not an accident.
Tyler’s been on the Bishops’ radar since he was caught spreading messaging that went against Dema and its sacred Vialist religion, and he’s certain that the Games are Nico’s—and his family’s—chance to finally get rid of him.
He has one objective: keeping Jenna alive. But the Games are not what they seem, and Tyler is soon thrust into a strange and eerie world unlike anything he could’ve prepared for.
And then there’s Josh Dun: the kind, friendly tribute from Keons’s district that can’t seem to leave Tyler alone.

Summary
Josh “Captain Torch” Dun, infamous pirate and master of the legendary S. Folina, leaves nothing but fire and ruin in his wake. Cursed to the sea, he cannot remain on land for more than a few hours without his skin igniting. A living blaze and a constant reminder of his fate.
Tyler Joseph, son of the Governor of Port Royal and a talented blacksmith, is clever, bold, and fiercely independent. Determined to escape the gilded cage of nobility, Tyler dreams of a life beyond ranks and titles, until a pirate raid changes everything, and he is taken hostage aboard Josh’s ship.
Enemies at first, Josh and Tyler clash at every turn. Swords meet steel, tempers flare, and sparks fly, both literal and forbidden. With cursed relics, rival pirates, and the navy closing in, the two are forced into a dangerous journey across the waves. Wit as sharp as a cutlass and desire as unpredictable as the tides forge a strange and unexpected bond between pirate and governor’s son.
Can a rogue bound by fire and a nobleman bound by duty learn to see both sides of the same medallion, or will the sea claim them both?

As the hours slip by and Tyler gets drawn deeper into Josh’s world, the line between costume and reality begins to blur. The only question is…
Does Tyler want to believe?
