The Glassbound Realms novella (ebook)

Trapped. Entire worlds imprisoned in glass. One woman holds the key - but she doesn't remember creating the locks.

Nellye is an archivist who catalogs artifacts; including snow globes, never suspecting they contain living, breathing realms. When she touches one forbidden globe, she's pulled into the Glass Forest, a crystalline world that recognizes her, though she has no memory of it.

As she travels through interconnected realms - underwater lakes that whisper secrets, mountains that fracture with suppressed memories, cities caught in eternal twilight - Nellye discovers a devastating truth: she is the Architect, creator of passages between worlds, who exiled herself decades ago with sealed memories.

Now the realms are dying, constrained by snow globes that preserve them like specimens under glass. Vale, the administrator who transformed her passages into prisons, insists his control prevents chaos. But Nellye remembers something he's forgotten: freedom isn't chaos - it's life.

To save the realms, she must dismantle the very system she inadvertently enabled. If she restores freedom, will the worlds flourish or destroy each other?
