KITE RUNNER & DEXTER
A boy of war. A body count of 24. A confession that unravels not just his crimes, but the empire that created him. Amin’s Testament is a brutal, intimate thriller rooted in Russian colonialism, Chechen resistance, and inherited bloodlines.

“There is a special phone note that I used to track the day when I did not succumb to my addiction. It has been 17 days. I was almost normal. I was free.
But now I had to delete this number. I should feel sorry, but I don’t”

When the car hit me, no one knew my name. Not the ambulance workers, not the fussing, nervous Middle Eastern driver.
I was just ‘the woman’, ‘the victim’ for all of them, and I was more than glad about it. I didn’t want them to find out find out my name, or, worse, your name

It’s tricky to write your autobiography when you are eighteen, in a language that is not your native one, but when they find out what I’ve done, I won't have another chance to tell my story.
Maybe I’m a monster, but so are my victims.

Imagine:
- there is a cult;
- a guy like Bateman from the “American Psycho” running for president of the United State;
-everyone adores him;
-except for his Granny.
But who would listen to the women with a mental health issues. Who wasn’t even a good Mum?

SECRET OF NIMH x WARRIORS

I (Magic Cat, 2F) accidentally burned an entire forest. When my mentor (Wicked Owl, 8M) pushed me forward in time and took my kittens, I joined the animal underground to find them. I’m ready to hunt him down. AITA?

Something like that, but with war criminals… and people who support the war… and Nazies…. And… and he couldn’t stop.
