Ryan and Erica have lived in their old Victorian house long enough to stop questioning its creaks, cold spots, and half-forgotten corners—until one night, a hidden panel in a closet wall refuses to stay hidden. Inside is a bundle of strange clothing…and a jeweled sword that doesn’t belong to any world they recognize. The moment they touch it, reality breaks. In a flash of blinding light, the twins are ripped from upstate New York and thrown into a land of towering forests, fractured kingdoms, and old songs that sound uncomfortably like prophecies.

Welcome to Aulmagne, where strangers stare as if the twins are ghosts made flesh, where borders are drawn in blood, and where history itself has been weaponized. A ruthless ruler known as the Chancellor tightens his grip through fear, censorship, and the brutal erasure of anything that might threaten his reign. And the sword in Ryan’s hands, the legendary Blade of Baz, is more than a weapon. It’s a symbol of rebellion, a relic of a forgotten line, and a beacon that calls both allies and assassins.

As pursuers close in and trust becomes a gamble, Ryan and Erica must navigate a world that insists they matter…even if they don’t yet know why. Because in a place built on legend, the most dangerous thing they can do is survive long enough to be recognized.

In the tradition of classic “crossing-over” fantasies—readers may think of C.S. Lewis’s Narnia for its premise of stepping from the familiar into the fantastical—Blade of Baz blends adventure with questions about identity, belonging, and what it means to inherit a story you didn’t ask for. The tone is accessible and teen-friendly, with elements of quest, court, and faction tension, as well as mythic artifacts, making it a good fit for readers who enjoy portal fantasies, sibling-led adventures, and secondary-world settings with Celtic-influenced names and lore.

Blade of Baz was originally published as a serial NFT collection on the Cardano blockchain in 2023. All profits from book sales will support the Plomin Scholarship Fund.

Season One is a limited-edition auditory odyssey told across eleven chapters, each rendered as a grand orchestral epic movement of word and song. The opening movements introduce themes of prophecy and corruption, with dark brass and low strings embodying Dog Vader’s hunger for power, while soaring violins and choral motifs echo the Judi Dogs’ pursuit of balance in the Force of Fur. The mid-symphony movements shift between clashing tonalities—electronic pulses for the MecaTribe’s technological prowess, martial percussion for the rise of the DoberMen, and dissonant chimes for betrayal.

As the narrative darkens, the HellHoundian Goliath’s battle motif crashes in waves of timpani and distorted horns, only to be fractured by moments of silence, symbolizing the inner turmoil of R2Dog2’s corrupted subroutines. The symphony’s climax builds through seismic crescendos as Alpha Lupus’s moon collapses into a singularity, while frantic woodwinds and wailing strings carry the urgency of the Resistance’s impossible choice: pursue the DogStar of Death or save the Malmutians. The finale resolves into a haunting, suspended chord—neither triumph nor defeat—representing mercy’s victory but leaving the shadow of Massive Mastiff’s empire unresolved.

More than a soundtrack, it is a living allegory in sound: a season of sacrifice and survival scored across the vast canvas of the Metaverse, where every note reminds the listener that this was not the end, only the beginning.

This classic volume brings together a series of tales that showcase Lupin’s cleverness, resourcefulness, and flair for outwitting both the law and his rivals. Unlike ordinary criminals, Lupin commits his thefts with elegance and imagination, often leaving behind amused adversaries and astonished victims. His charisma and intelligence elevate him from a thief to a cultural icon, representing the allure of rebellion against authority.

Leblanc balances mystery with adventure, setting Lupin’s escapades against Parisian society and occasionally pitting him against the famous detective Sherlock Holmes (thinly disguised as “Herlock Sholmes” due to copyright). The collection not only entertains with twists and daring heists but also explores the blurred line between crime and justice. These stories helped establish the gentleman-thief archetype, influencing countless works of crime and adventure fiction.

In the industrial outskirts of Biome Synthesis, Billy Bolts spends his nights rebuilding forgotten droids and dreaming of a father he never knew.

Now Billy is thrust into a high-stakes adventure that will test his genius, his courage, and his heart. With the help of his fierce best friend Cristen, a surprising ally in former bully Relson, and a quirky drone named Zippy, Billy embarks on a journey through scrapyards, hidden cave systems, and mysterious tech cults to uncover the truth.

To save his father, Billy must do the impossible: build an 30-foot combat robot, enter the world’s most dangerous tournament, and face off against elite war machines—while being hunted by the same man who took his father.
