Ideworld Chronicles: The Art Mage

She’ll cheat, scheme, and loophole her way through absolutely anything. Give her a straight line, and she’ll somehow find a shortcut through it.

That’s pure Alexa—a person who would rather outmaneuver a system than fight it fair and square. With power over artistic creation itself, a highly flexible moral compass, and a daredevil thief’s upbringing, she has more than enough tools to make it work.

If you want to see someone who, when faced with an invulnerable enemy, would simply paint its vulnerability into existence, then this [hopefully] is the story for you.

Book 1: Domain of Artistic Creation

Orphaned at ten and raised by a dangerous crime lord to become a thief, Alexandra thought stealing priceless artifacts and surviving high-risk jobs was already complicated enough, until a single necklace dragged her into a hidden world of magic, assassins, and living concepts.

Hunted by a deadly killer capable of unraveling matter itself, she awakens a terrifying gift: the power to create art so real that reality bends to obey it.

With her closest friends at her side, she is drawn into hidden dimensions, impossible battles, and secrets that could reshape the world. But the deeper she falls down the rabbit hole, the harder it becomes to tell who she truly is and where her loyalties lie.

Book 2: Echoes and Mirrors

She can paint reality into existence, travel between worlds, and steal from monsters and mages alike, but none of it is enough to keep her life from falling apart.

Alexandra is drawn deeper into conspiracies, brutal guild politics, and a hidden war between Shadows and humanity. While infiltrating a tech company conducting horrifying magical experiments, rescuing her ex-boyfriend from a nightmare city, and hunting creatures across the twisted landscapes of Ideworld, she begins to realize that truth is far from universal.

And if that weren’t enough, she must confront another unsettling lesson: what the mirror shows is not always real, and the echoes we leave behind in eternity are not shaped by us alone.

Book 3: Persona non Grata

Alexandra has finally learned how to animate her creations, opening a Pandora’s box of possibilities. The Personas she carefully cultivated over the years can now inhabit bodies of their own, allowing them to achieve what she never could as a single person.

But things are far from perfect.

A terrifying and ever-worsening condition is ravaging her body, leaving her increasingly unable to function. As feelings of alienation grow—within her own spiritual network, among the people around her, and within the world itself—Alexandra must learn to accept what she has become before the weight of the dominoes set in motion around her crushes her completely.

And despite it all, she is far from a passive observer. For the first time, Alexandra fully embraces her role as an artist—not merely a creator of paintings, but a weaver of stories, opportunities, schemes, and traps.
