The Taste of Guarana

Some networks don’t advertise; they decide who gets paid, who gets protected, and who doesn’t come home.

Take a taste, but understand this: in their world, loyalty is leverage, silence is survival, and curiosity is a death wish.

Download includes Chapters 1–3 only. We’ll email you when the full novel is ready. You left your email so we don’t have to shout.

ORRIS:

THE INNER CIRCLE

Orris looks like a luxury house: perfume, couture labs, Tasmanian gin in hand-blown glass, all sitting neatly under the very respectable Aurum Group. That’s the brochure. The real story lives in the circles. A matte-black card that never appears on the website. A compass logo that quietly marks the ones who get invited in rather than simply “join.” A gin line sourced from just past the end of the world, a fragrance lab that tracks people as carefully as it tracks notes, and an inner-circle credo that sounds like marketing until you realise it’s operational doctrine. This isn’t just how a brand was built; it’s how a private empire taught its favourite customers to audition themselves. Download it as a pretty origin story if you like. By the last page, you’ll know it’s actually a recruitment test.

Ghosts in the Snow

In a Vienna winter where the trams hiss through falling snow and cafés glow like traps, a former soldier walks alone, trying very hard to be a ghost and failing spectacularly. One careless cup of coffee at Café Mozart pulls him into the orbit of a woman who knows far too much, and a shipping empire that moves information, money and people with the same clinical precision. This “back story” is the moment the past rewires his future: a love affair dressed as a chance meeting, a recruitment pitched as a favour, and the first quiet step toward the storm you’ll meet in The Taste of Guarana. This is the quiet seduction before the storm, the part where you think you’re just sampling a prequel while the world of the main novel quietly locks into place around you.

Hogarth Cooper

Long before Hogarth Cooper became a global shipping name you can drop into small talk, it was just two Scots, a handful of dangerous favours and a war that refused to stay politely in the past. Testing machines for a quiet mathematician who shouldn’t exist in official histories, moving unmarked cargo through Swiss banks and Baltic ports, they learned two simple truths: information travels best in boxes, and the man who controls the route controls the story. This back story tracks how a pair of discreet problem-solvers turned wartime ghosts, Nazi gold and early codebreaking into a logistics empire that looks boring on paper and terrifying up close. Download it for “context” if you want. You’re really just learning how they buried their fingerprints in every container on the map.

Please note this is a second draft intended to provide context to 'The Taste of Guarana'. We really like this story and will surely be expanding this into a full novel in the future.

Simon's Enigma Journal (Vol.I)

Working notes from the studio: fragments, observations, rules, and the occasional sharp conclusion. It isn’t polished. It’s honest.
