By the time dawn breaks, a sable commander renowned for catching renegades is on his trail, and Disrel is driven into the center of the resistance against the state.
Decorated Sable Commander Ambrosia is ready for the challenge of pulling Pyron resistors off Tourmal’s streets.

And the unassumingly charming Disrel keeps getting in her way.

KITTEN: Diary of a Runaway
Psychological Thrillers
Abandoned by her adoptive family, brutalized, and forgotten, a young runaway learns what it takes to survive in a world that has never been safe. What begins as a cry for help becomes something far more terrifying as she transforms from a victim into one of the most prolific serial killers the city has ever known.
Told in the unfiltered voice of a woman stripped of morality, identity, and humanity, Kitten is a raw and disturbing meditation on trauma, exploitation, and the lies we are led to believe.
An Wo Long completes his Neo-Noir Diaries Trilogy with an unsettling view into the mind of a runaway, exploring the darkest recesses of the human psyche and society.
This is not a story for the faint of heart. With stark depictions of abuse and emotional torment, Kitten is a brutal meditation on what remains when society’s safety nets fail entirely.
Disturbingly vulnerable, morally complex, and terrifying in its plausibility, Kitten is an unforgettable literary experience with an ending that leaves you distrustful of your own judgments.
Gritty as Go Ask Alice, emotionally devastating as Push, and as morally ambiguous as American Psycho.
Kitten is for readers of transgressive fiction who understand that some stories must be disturbing to be authentic. It’s not “entertainment.” It’s a challenge.
WARNING: This book contains graphic depictions of mature and potentially distressing content.
A detailed content advisory appears at the beginning of the book.
Reader discretion is strongly advised.

Magic is fading. The ancient races have all but vanished. Humans and dragons remain, a fragile peace offering a brief respite in their ancient struggle.
On the outskirts of human lands, twins Kai and Mara still remember the deaths of their parents, murdered at the hands of a rogue dragon when they were young. Eager to avenge their family, they’ve sworn fealty to the Order, a legendary group of warriors who wield the magic of the dragons’ own blood against them. The problem is, that source has long since dried up, and the twins question if their true purpose has dried up with it.
Until the rumors begin…
Whispers speak of a strange sighting in the mountains, a group of hunters waylaid by a woman with inhuman qualities—her scarlet eyes burning with vengeance, her voice planting dark thoughts in the minds of men. Her arrival speaks of a new conflict, one with roots that extend far deeper than any in the Order could possibly know. And somehow, Kai and Mara seem to be at the very heart of it.
Peace will not last. Vengeance will not rest. And before all is over, blood will burn.

They quickly find out the relic house’s reputation is more than just old tales as they become imprisoned within the walls by what can only be described as supernatural means.
Tempers flare after there is an unexplained death causing a fracture of the short-lived unity and alliances to start forming. Each character questions themselves and one another, unsure of who can be trusted. Everyone believes there is a murderer in their midst and no one is safe. Despite their differences, they come to find out they all have one thing in common; someone in their lives had died under suspicious circumstances.
Events take a turn for the worse as the supernatural occurrences begin to increase in frequency and severity. Hallucinations, visions, and possible premonitions afflicting each character start disintegrating their perception of what is real and what is imaginary. Each person struggles with their own sanity as their mental tether to reality starts to fray. The line between past and present becomes obscured, bleeding together into an incoherent blur.
As the body count continues to grow, the veil between them and the afterlife seems to grow thinner as the inhabitants from each side find their way into the other. With each death, the survivors continually ask themselves who is the killer within the group and what lengths they are willing to go to ensure their own survival.

Skeleton Mine Disaster
Non-Fiction
Skeleton Mine Disaster follows a speaker moving through dream and daylight with equal clarity: a snail gnawing at the temple, an unplugged moon still “plugged in to the wall,” a half-eaten Honeycrisp glossed by a fly, the dull fluorescents of service work and waiting rooms. Across lineated lyrics and hybrid, diaristic pieces, Ryan Di Francesco charts panic and tenderness inside contemporary life—addiction and long sobriety, insomnia at 3 a.m., cheap carpets and neon, the ache of caregiving and the stubbornness of love. The poems refuse grand pronouncements in favor of precise, lived textures: a dustpan in a bathroom mirror, a lorazepam on a dresser, FM radio in a kitchen where anger has just been served. What emerges is a lucid anti-romance of the everyday, where terror and mercy share a single breath.
The book’s title becomes a lens: the “mine” as workplace, as body, as mind; the “disaster” both private and communal. Set against Toronto streets and Niagara kitsch, Di Francesco’s images move from blunt humor to bruised awe, from slot-machine glare to the soft thud of a dog sleeping at dawn. Voices speak plainly— sometimes bitter, sometimes laughing—while the world around them frays: “everything is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful,” the speaker insists, even as the day tilts toward breakdown. In these pages, love is a task and a vow; language, a tool for lifting rubble; and beauty, when it arrives, is provisional but real.
Formally restless, Skeleton Mine Disaster splices lyric concentration with narrative drift, collage, and the occasional anti-poem feint. The result is a field guide to surviving the ordinary apocalypse: closing the window so no more insects get in, finishing the coffee, waking the beloved from a nightmare, and writing it down before the light changes.

The world of Velasia has lived in relative peace for thousands of years under the dragons' reign.
For Liotha, a humble dragoness from one of the lesser houses, all she cares about is preparing her own small part of the world for the future now growing in her belly.
But all is not well in the lands beyond the dragons' borders. There are whispers the dragons' leader has grown greedy, and in his greed, is consuming the world's magic. If he is not stopped, it could herald the very collapse of Velasia itself.
As the rumors of this growing darkness reach Liotha, she'll find herself presented with an unthinkable choice. For fate, it seems, has chosen her as its champion. If she does not answer the call, there may be no future left to welcome her children.
Through insurmountable odds, Liotha must rise beyond her lowly station and embrace her destiny as the herald of a new dawn-the Dawn of the Queen.
