A surreal cosmic digital painting of a woman’s silhouette with eyes closed, radiating colorful waves of light and energy from her head into a star-filled galaxy, blending themes of creation, destruction, and space opera mysticism.

Cynosure Tales

Original Science Fiction Stories

Cynosure Tales Royal Road link icon.

Cynosure Tales is a home for human-centered speculative fiction—science fiction and psychological horror focused on identity, survival, and the cost of transformation.

These stories follow characters shaped by systems they didn’t build: biotech collapse, corporate control, and forces that refuse to remain contained.

Here you’ll find serialized fiction and standalone works that linger in the aftermath of catastrophe—where endurance matters more than power, and staying human is never guaranteed.

Some stories are released publicly. Others remain exclusive to Cynosure Tales.
