Meta
Meta is the home for everything beyond the main sagas: character studies, worldbuilding notes, side stories, and behind-the-scenes explorations of the 'Breaking' series. Think of it as the library’s back room, filled with sketches, lore, and experiments that deepen the world and expand on the novels.

The Jellyfather
Sometimes recovery doesn’t look like quiet strength. Sometimes it’s breaking down in laughter over a cursed jelly cube. In Breaking Free, Damion’s journey through grief and trauma isn’t a straight line toward healing. It’s jagged, humiliating, tender, and raw. But in the middle of the

Poor Damion. As one reader said, "I want to hug him and stroke his head." The most beloved warrior of the Emberai (the Windborne native to the Water Sanctum) and nicknamed the Harbinger of the Flood. Everyone wanted to be him. Therefore, Water Sanctum's Master is

Zudaeshi is the villain of Breaking the Breaker and Breaking Out. Zudaeshi stole all the powers from the Sanctum Masters and made herself the Harmonarch of Harmura. Don't make her angry. Not only is she a master of her native Mountain/Water powers, but also can now wield

Khaas, Zudaeshi's right hand man
This is Khaas — the will that makes Zudaeshi worshipped and feared. She’s the Harmonarch people see: beauty, splendor, terror you can’t look away from. He’s what keeps the terror real. The Envoy spreads her promises. Khaas keeps the Ministers obedient, the spies quiet, the punishments exquisite enough

Spirit Realm
I built Harmura’s world around the Bagua, the eight trigrams of East Asian cosmology. This image is a glimpse of the Spirit Realm — a mirror of the living land where each region manifests the essence of one trigram. It’s my way of weaving nature, power, and culture together

Freedom: Release or Burden?
This is Damion — once a warrior, once a pet slave, now free. Freedom should taste like victory, but for Damion it tastes like iron and old blood and every memory that won’t stay buried. He wanted the collar gone — now he’s choking on the emptiness it left behind.
