Creepy Chronicles
Novels of Veryn.
Dark-fantasy stories set in a world where music is magic, magic is memory, and the things you've forgotten still want a word with you. Four novels in development; the first arrives this year.
Featured · The first chronicle
The Nursery That Holds Up the Sky
A disgraced chrono-tuner is blackmailed into leading a crew to swap a failing reality-anchor inside an obsidian nursery that uses their repressed memories as its lock, but one crew member has secretly been hired because she wants the vault to rewrite her past, and the patron who sent them knows the needle can only be replaced by someone willing to let the room eat a piece of who they used to be.
In the wings
More chronicles in development.
The Boiler Hymns of Car Nineteen
When widowed acoustic auditor Sairon Veth is dispatched to certify a routine resonance fault aboard the Mercy Engine, a miles-long hospital train crawling the Ashen Keep's slag plains, he discovers that the work-chants passengers sing to warm their sick children are being interpreted as execution commands by the ancient fire elemental powering the boilers, and that his dead husband's voice is woven into the newest lethal sequence.
The Rosewater Corrections
When a charm-mender who can hear the off-key notes in household magic begins losing memories of a vampire aristocrat she's falling for, she must decide whether to let the bathhouse's courtesy constructs edit her into someone safe, or sing her desire loud enough to wake whatever is listening beneath the pools.
Three Notes Waiting
A sanctuary's last instrument repairer inherits a tool that contains the grief-soaked memories of every previous player, and each time he uses it to hold back the fog eating his home, he must let one of those dead strangers rewrite a piece of his mind, until he can no longer tell which thoughts are repairs and which are replacements.

Wolfonne
Before this world was called Veryn, it was called Erl. Wolfonne is the first novel set inside what is now the Veilwilds: a region sealed from the rest of the world, where everyone is a shapeshifter and nothing beyond the borders is known. It doesn't have the Compendium's tone yet. But the bones of the world are here. Consider it the foundation document.
