THE VILLAIN’S APPRENTICE

School is Out...... Evil is in!

When a kind-hearted descendant of fairytales most beloved figures is forced to train under the world’s most nefarious villains, she sets out to prove that she can become the most wicked villain of them all, however she soon discovers a plot to destroy her family.

Since the beginning, a great Institution has stood beyond time and space, preparing the next generation of youth to take on their roles as future heroes and guardians of fables, myths, and stories. Eager to live up to her family legacy, Grizelda— daughter of The Fairy Godmother, and granddaughter of Glinda the Good Witch—has been awaiting graduation day for centuries. Waiting to be sorted into her perfect role and sent to apprentice under a mentor so that one day she can be a great champion of heroism like her ancestors. 

But destiny takes an unexpected turn when the Sands of Fate decree her as the Institution’s first-ever “Villain’s Apprentice.” Branded as a harbinger of wickedness, Zelda’s dreams are shattered, and her family’s disappointment (and embarrassment) drives her to prove herself in the most spiteful way possible. 

Determined to embrace her newfound path, she embarks on a treacherous journey through enchanted forests, where witches and princesses reside, descends into a realm of horrors inhabited by masked slashers and malevolent dolls, and into a metropolis plagued by tricky super-criminals, learning from every villain she encounters. As Zelda delves deeper into dark apprenticeship, she unearths a sinister conspiracy that entwines her own lineage and all she holds dear.

With the help of her new malevolent friends, Zelda must learn the truth and unravel the threads of this grand design before a looming threat obliterates everything she cherishes, forcing her to choose whether to succumb to darkness or rise above the conspiracies that seek to shape her fate.

The Garden of Lilith

Some Laws Were Meant To Be Broken

After being exiled from paradise, Adam and Eve set out to regain immortality by stealing the Fruit of Life, but their only path back into Eden lies with Lilith, Adam’s seductive and mysterious first wife, and her soft-hearted best friend “Steve”, forcing a volatile alliance as they clash over love, power, and identity on a daring heist against their all-knowing Creator.

After awakening beneath the mystical Tree of Life, Eve is poised to fulfill her destiny as the first Woman and Mother of All Mankind, alongside her beloved husband Adam, the First Man and soon-to-be Father of All Mankind. Within Eden’s serene paradise, they are destined to nurture humanity and bask in eternal tranquility. 

But when their perfect existence shatters after an encounter with a malicious entity and a forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve are exiled to the desolate wasteland of the newly formed world outside paradise where only hunger, confusion, and death await them…. Until a remarkable encounter alters their course. In a shocking revelation, they meet Lilith, the mysterious and defiant being who was the Creator’s original choice for First Woman and Mother of All Mankind, who chose her own path over eternal bliss, along with her meek, gentle, and wary  (platonic) best friend “Steve”, the Creator’s initial attempt at fashioning Man.

Desperate and devoid of alternatives, Eve devises a daring scheme with Lilith to infiltrate the hallowed grounds of the Garden of Eden, where the Tree of Life’s fruit can restore them to immortality.  But to get it, they must not only trust one another but outwit their all-knowing, omnipotent Creator. As alliances strain and identities unravel, the mission forces each of them to confront who they were made to be… and who they might choose to become instead. 

What begins as a heist for eternal life becomes something far more dangerous: a battle over identity, and who gets to define love, power, and the future of humanity itself.

Overlordz

This Summer....Choose Your Overlord!

In a collapsing America, two villains (a fed-up warlock and a resurrected cyborg) launch rival attempts to seize power, but when the public begins idolizing them over their corrupt politicians, their battle for world domination turns into a viral internet campaign for the world to choose which one will become its overlord.

In a cynical near-future America collapsing under political corruption, viral pandemics, and economic despair, Dezrik (a 20-something exhausted warlock living undercover as a struggling barista) decides he’s had enough. Revealing himself to the world as Dezrik, The Dark, he announces his intention to do what no politician ever could: take control of the planet and fix it himself. But Dezrik isn’t the only one who believes humanity needs new leadership…

After secretly undergoing an experimental procedure meant to save her life during a global pandemic, Cierra, the Vice President’s compassionate daughter, awakens as a Cybernetic Y-Generation Reactive Asset (or C.Y.R.A), a powerful artificial intelligent biomechanical being. Rejecting the corrupt system that created her, she sets out to destroy the world’s broken leadership before anyone else can claim power.

Challenging Dezrik’s plot for world domination, the two superpowered rivals ignite a worldwide spectacle but as their increasingly outrageous (and brutal) attempts to “save” humanity go viral, they become unlikely  celebrity icons—gaining millions of fans while governments scramble to stop them.

But behind the chaos lies a darker truth: powerful forces within the government are manipulating the conflict, hoping to use the two would-be conquerors to tighten their grip on power.

As Dezrik and Cyra’s rivalry evolves into an unexpected connection, they must confront the real question at the heart of the revolution they’ve sparked:

Does the world need new rulers… or the courage to rule itself?

Equal parts satirical comedy, explosive fantasy action, and twisted romance, Overlordz asks what happens when the people stop trusting their leaders—and start rooting for the villains instead.

THE Witch & The Phantom

a friendship that crosses the REALMS

Amidst a centuries-old feud between witches and spirits, a high-spirited phantom and a cautious young sorcerer, embark on a perilous journey to bridge their divided worlds, and thwart the dark forces threatening both the realm of the living and the beyond.

Long ago, when the world was darker and filled with wandering spirits, a group of magical witches protected the Nobodies — non-magical humans. After a great battle sealed away a powerful spirit of chaos, one small boy was left behind: Orion.

Now a young witch in training, Orion travels from town to town with his eccentric (and wicked) uncle, The Witch Kellan, posing as ghost hunters while searching for a real portal to “The Beyond”,  the spirit realm Kellan hopes to control.

But Orion is tired of chasing spirits. More than anything, he wants a normal life… and maybe even a real friend.

When they arrive in the quiet town of Mystbrook, Orion discovers their new home is truly haunted by a lively family of spirits trying to live peacefully on the other side. Among them is Nev, an excitable young phantom who adores humans, even if they always run away screaming.

After an awkward first encounter, Orion and Nev form a secret friendship, determined to keep their families from finding out. But hiding a witch from spirits — and spirits from an evil witch — is harder than it sounds.

As misunderstandings grow and old prejudices resurface, Orion and Nev uncover a deeper truth: the divide between the living and the spirit world was built on fear. And unless they work together, history may repeat itself, as Orion’s evil uncle soons becomes aware his nephew may be hiding something and is determined to find out what.

Filled with music, magic, and mischief, The Witch & The Phantom is a heartwarming Halloween adventure about friendship, chosen family, and learning to question the things we’re taught to fear.

A Terror In ClownTown

In ClownTown, NOTHING BAD EVER HAPPENS...

In the whimsical world of Clown Town, a group of adult clowns must confront a horrifying reality when a mysterious predator begins abducting their children, forcing them to descend into the dark attics to rescue the young clowns and stop the sinister being, turning their vibrant world into a nightmare of terror.

In the vibrant, balloon-filled, candy-colored world of Clown Town, clowns live simple, joyful lives, raising their children in a place where nothing bad ever happens and (with their painted-on smiles), no one ever frowns! Until the children start disappearing….

When his teenage son and his friends vanish, Plink Picklefeet (a well-meaning but painfully naive clown mechanic) discovers that Clown Town has been breached. A strange predator with tiny feet, known only as The Terror, has been slipping through the attic spaces above their homes, abducting children and dragging them into a world the clowns were never meant to see:

The human world.

Determined to bring them back, Plink assembles an unlikely rescue team: his anxious half-mime best friend, a sultry candy-clown heiress, and a laid-back cotton candy dealer. Together, they venture into the dusty attic system that connects their bright, whimsical realm to a grim circus reality where clown children are enslaved and forced to perform for human amusement.

On a rescue mission where innocence and exploitation collide, to save their children, the clowns must abandon the safety of painted smiles and confront a world without color, without laughter, and without mercy.
