Universe
One world. Different stories. Heroes, monsters, buried experiments, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. Welcome to the Project Titan Universe.
One Shared World
Every Story Leaves a Mark
Project Titan is a shared universe of extraordinary abilities, hidden histories, human choices, and things that have existed in the shadows far longer than anyone realizes.
Each series follows its own characters, conflicts, and corner of the world. Some stories begin with science. Others reach into something much older.
They can stand on their own, but they do not exist in isolation. People cross paths. Decisions leave consequences. Events in one story can reshape another.
Different stories. Different lives. One world.
Reader Advisory
The original Project Titan series is generally suitable for teen and adult readers. Project Titan — Chimera and Black Moon explore more mature subject matter and may include stronger language, graphic violence, sexual content, disturbing situations, and other adult themes. Reader discretion is advised.
