TRUST NO ONE
Lala finally found her safe space at Deaf school, where she can just be herself—a trans girl with friends who accept her.
Then Jake shows up.
The new guy with a serious attitude transfers in just as hateful anti-LGBT messages start appearing all over campus. Coincidence? Everyone's sus, especially since Jake keeps turning up wherever the investigation leads.
Forced to team up, Lala discovers there might be more to Jake than his angry façade. But when shocking secrets surface, she doesn't know who to trust—or if her own heart might betray her.
With time running out and suspicion turning their classmates against them, Lala and Jake must uncover the truth before they become the next targets. In a world full of secrets and lies, risking it all might be their only choice.
Some truths are worth the risk.
HIDDEN LIGHT
Magic pulses through the world, but not everyone is allowed to wield it.
Nyara, a Deaf OminiAcrane teen from the mysterious Lumni Region, never quite fits in at Harmonia Deaf Academy. With her non-human heritage carefully concealed, she walks between worlds—too magical for humans, too connected to humanity for her own kind. Fresh from heartbreak that still haunts her dreams, Nyara just wants to survive the school year without drawing attention.
But when Nyara and her friends stumble upon the forgotten history of Serenity, a legendary Luminine whose power threatened the established order, they uncover a conspiracy that spans generations. Serenity wasn't banished—she was silenced.
As strange occurrences plague the academy and dangerous forces close in, Nyara faces an impossible choice. The Luminines—celestial OminiAcranes with the ability to harness starlight—have hidden their true nature for centuries. Now Nyara must decide: continue hiding who she truly is, or embrace her heritage and powers to protect those she loves.
In a world that fears what it cannot control, sometimes the bravest act is simply to shine.
THE HIDDEN ROOTS
Some secrets aren't meant to stay buried.
At Grayshire Deaf Academy, Sierra Sinclair navigates the world through touch and limited vision, carving out space for herself as a DeafBlind and TransQueer teen in an institution that prizes conformity. When Victor Chen—a renowned DeafBlind artist and Sierra's secret mentor—vanishes during his controversial sculpture unveiling, the school quickly moves to erase all traces of him and his work.
But Sierra knows something they don't: Victor's sculpture contained braille messages only she could fully decode—messages that expose the academy's dark foundation of discrimination and silenced voices.
With her friends Ari and Jordy, Sierra launches a dangerous investigation that unravels decades of carefully constructed lies. As they piece together Victor's hidden clues, they discover generations of erased students whose stories mirror Sierra's own struggles for recognition and belonging.
The academy council will stop at nothing to keep these truths buried, and as threats escalate from anonymous warnings to physical danger, Sierra must decide how much she's willing to risk. Is exposing the institution's corrupt past worth endangering her future—or her life?
In a world built on silence, Sierra's touch becomes the revolution that could either save Grayshire's soul or tear it apart completely.
THE LEGACY OF MA'HIL: THE SECRET OF UNDEAFENING
In Rivermoss, magic was once revolution. Now it's become oppression.
Nearly a century after the UnBinding—when magic helped reclaim stolen lands, dismantle colonial powers, and heal a dying planet—the promise of that new world is fading. The Council, once champions of liberation, now use ancient spells to standardize humanity through a process they call "UnDeafening"—a brutal magical procedure that strips away Deaf, Blind, and disabled identities in the name of "unity."
Ma'Hil Nayce, a DeafBlind teenager born into the resistance, has spent their life preserving their community's culture in hidden enclaves beneath Rivermoss. Their hands speak the forbidden languages; their body carries the outlawed magic. But when Nia—Ma'Hil's closest friend and co-conspirator—is captured during a raid and subjected to the Council's experiments, the resistance faces its darkest hour.
While searching for a way to rescue Nia, Ma'Hil uncovers a shocking truth: the Council's UnDeafening rituals aren't creating magic—they're stealing it. Every erased identity feeds an ancient spell that's corrupting the very foundations of the post-revolution world.
As the Council's enforcers close in and Nia's transformation nears completion, Ma'Hil must unite the fragmented resistance factions for one desperate stand. The magic that once liberated their ancestors now flows through Ma'Hil's veins, but using it might mean becoming what they've sworn to fight against.
In a world where identity itself is contraband, the most radical act might be simply remembering who you are.
GLOOMSKY DEAF ACADEMY - B00K 1: DRAVEN’S SECRET
At Gloomsky Deaf Academy, where supernatural Deaf students learn to harness their abilities through sign language, a teen vampire Draven Nightshade arrives hiding two secrets: his transgender identity and a mysterious gift that allows him to hear the whispers of the past.
As Draven navigates classes on Transformation Basics and Spooky Sign Language, he finds friendship with Twinkle, a transgender fairy with a luminous glow; Howlie, an energetic werewolf; and Gigglesnatch, a mischievous goblin. With their support, Draven begins to embrace his vampire heritage while still guarding his transgender identity.
But the whispers grow stronger, leading Draven to a hidden chamber deep within Gloomsky's North Tower. There, he discovers his connection to Nzinga Nightshade, the academy's founder, and his role as the heir to a powerful magical legacy. When a sinister entity known as the Memory Thief threatens Gloomsky's repository of supernatural knowledge, Draven must confront both external dangers and his internal struggles.
As the Blood Moon approaches, Draven learns that his transgender journey isn't separate from his supernatural heritage—it's integral to it. His unique understanding of transformation makes him "the Integrator," capable of harmonizing opposing forces rather than merely fighting against them.
"Gloomsky Deaf Academy" is a story about finding acceptance, embracing all aspects of identity, and discovering that what makes us different can also make us extraordinary.
