What happens when 11-year-old Ciro sells his mother to an Archivist named Sulien for a new game system?

Sulien, Archivist of the 12th Layer, his realm is over free will, wildcards, deviation from fate. His purpose is to hold the rarest and most dangerous contracts—ones made in defiance of the system. Often called the “Layer of No Return.”

He thinks the deal will be an easy one, but Ciro is no ordinary child, and just as Sulien thinks he knows what he wants, Ciro and his mother Dahlia make him realize that what he values most is to be seen beyond his nature.

I’m Tierra Cox, a romance author and cross-genre novelist devoted to stories where we, Black women, are seen, desired, and worshiped out loud.

By day, I navigate the corporate communications world—but by night, I build realms where monsters kneel, empires burn, and love is never ordinary.

Armed with an overpriced English degree and an imagination that refuses to stay quiet, I write across fantasy, paranormal, sci-fi, and gothic romance—all bound by one promise: Black women at the center of passion, power, and possibility.

Every world I create asks the same question—what does it look like when a woman like us is the story’s beating heart?

When I’m not writing (which is rare), you’ll find me somewhere in Georgia watching bad sci-fi, dreaming about alien royalty, or wandering through my next world before it’s written.

My entire collection is available on NOIR PAGES, in paperback on Amazon and in collections on my website!
