# BOUNDLESS **When your characters refuse to stay on the page, finishing your story becomes a matter of survival.** Graphic novelist Ella Chen thought the worst part of writer's block was staring at blank pages. She was wrong. Now her unfinished characters are staring back at her—literally. Marcus, her battle-scarred hero, materializes at 3:17 AM demanding she complete his story. Zara, the astronaut with dangerous secrets, leaves ink stains on her kitchen counter. Even her faceless antagonist haunts her apartment, growing stronger and more solid each night. Ella's creations are trapped in limbo, and they're using her own body as their canvas, imprinting themselves beneath her skin in shifting, living tattoos. Desperate and losing her grip on reality, she seeks help from Maya Rodriguez, a mysterious tattoo artist whose work literally comes alive. But Maya's solution comes with a terrifying price: give her characters true form with enchanted inks, and they'll be bound to Ella forever. Refuse, and risk losing herself entirely to their growing power. As corporate collectors hunt for artists who can create living art, and her shadowy antagonist's identity threatens to destroy everything she holds dear, Ella must make an impossible choice. Finish the story that could save her characters—or condemn them all. In a world where imagination bleeds into reality, some stories are too powerful to remain fiction.
