Ichor War: The Prophecy of the Sphinx
Two women rise against a world forged to bind them. An empire fears the power in their blood. But when truths collide with reality, they must choose: surrender their destinies or seize fate by the throat.
where stories dwell in the threshold
Hypnagogia—the threshold between sleep and wakefulness. That liminal space where reality softens, consciousness fragments, and the impossible feels inevitable. It is the moment before the dream, and the moment after.
Hypnagogia Publishing brings stories that dwell in transition: narratives that unspool across worlds, identities, and states of being. We publish speculative fiction that refuses neat boundaries—tales where science fiction bleeds into myth, where precious things corrupt, where fragmented identities carry truths no single self can hold.
Our commitment is to work that challenges readers to stay present in discomfort, to find meaning in threshold moments, and to recognize that sometimes the most profound stories are those told from the in-between.
Two women rise against a world forged to bind them. An empire fears the power in their blood. But when truths collide with reality, they must choose: surrender their destinies or seize fate by the throat.
A discovery in the void becomes a catastrophe on earth. Perfect diamonds from an impossible place carry side effects no one anticipated—some miraculous, others grotesque.
Step backward through time to witness the first drop of poison that sparked the Ichor War—the venom that forever changed the dance between mortals and gods.
