Ideworld Chronicles: Alexa May

Alexa May is a 21-year-old professional thief—trained since childhood to disappear in crowds, scale walls, and steal what others only dream of guarding. But her life takes an unexpected turn when her passion for art awakens a rare and deeply personal kind of magic: one born not of battle or blood, but of creation itself.



Now, with brushes and guns alike, Alexa must navigate a double life of high-stakes heists, tangled personal relationships, and a magical world that seems intent on unraveling her—literally. Some want to control her, others want to destroy her, and one wrong move could reduce her to dust and threads.



But Alexa’s story is more than survival. It’s about forging identity, mastering power through art, and weaving meaning into a chaotic world.
