In a future dominated by the ultra-wealthy, a luxurious, high-tech cruise ship—engineered by the elusive Bert—hosts the world’s most powerful figures. Floating above a fractured Earth, this mobile fortress is a gleaming symbol of excess, secrecy, and control.
Amid this grandeur, Akya—a woman deeply tied to ancient wisdom—awakens from a trance, trembling with revelations that shake her to the core. Her fragile reality is upended when a colossal submarine breaches the ocean’s surface, delivering Axel, a disgraced former state lawyer turned fugitive. Driven by vengeance and a thirst for justice, Axel storms the ship, confronting its elite with long-buried truths.
As accusations fly and old sins resurface, Akya struggles to shield her daughter and unravel the tangled alliances around her. At the same time, Dragan—a dangerous force fueled by violence and ego—threatens to bring chaos to an already volatile situation.
Set against a backdrop of futuristic opulence and ancient echoes, Ideology: The Elite’s World unpacks the cost of unchecked power, the moral weight of truth, and the tension between individual survival and collective ethics. This first entry in the Ideology series weaves together ambition, betrayal, and awakening as its characters grapple with the wreckage of their past and the perilous choices that shape their future.
Akya, Axel, and their unpredictable companions must navigate a world where wealth conceals corruption and knowledge holds the key to liberation. Ideology: The Elite’s World is a provocative tale of revelation and resistance in a society teetering on the edge.
Set in San Francisco’s vibrant Mission District, Shattered Veneer follows Alev, a young woman piecing her life back together after a devastating love. Haunted by betrayal and heartbreak, she seeks solace with her empathetic friend Shay, whose quiet strength becomes her lifeline.
Through vivid recollections of her time in Tulum and Los Angeles with Noy—a seductive yet emotionally detached lover—Alev confronts themes of cultural tension, vulnerability, and the illusions of love. As she heals, San Francisco’s electric mix of art, tech, and subculture becomes both a sanctuary and a mirror for her transformation.
With a cast of complex characters—including the enigmatic Scott—Alev’s journey navigates trust, identity, and the blurred lines between intimacy and manipulation. Her growing fascination with AI parallels her evolving self-expression, as she reclaims authorship over her story.
Written by Ilgaz Kuren, Shattered Veneer is a poignant exploration of heartbreak, resilience, and self-discovery. It is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability—and the power of rewriting one’s own narrative.
Napkin follows the story of a woman caught between the seductive pull of freedom and the chaos of a consuming love. Her path stretches across Costa Rica, Tulum, Honduras, Panama, and Colombia—unfolding within the raw pulse of rave culture and the meditative calm of untamed nature, a dance between escape and entrapment.
At its heart, this is a portrait of toxic intimacy, where emotional manipulation spirals into physical abuse. Once a globe-trotting woman of comfort and class, the protagonist becomes financially and emotionally dependent on the son of a powerful industrialist. Ensnared in his opulent yet volatile world, she drifts into a psychological haze resembling Stockholm syndrome—drawn to his extravagance, yet battered by its consequences.
As the relationship darkens, the pandemic crashes in like a final blow, halting her descent and forcing a moment of reckoning. But this is only the beginning. Napkin is the first chapter in a larger journey—one that examines the cost of love, the illusion of security, and the long road back to self.
