In a world where emotion is suppressed and individuality is forbidden, Elion Strider lives a life of conformity, bound by the steadfast rules of the Regime. When his friend Kira is punished for a subtle display of emotion, Elion's dissatisfaction with his controlled existence grows. Feeling the weight of his family's oppressive ideals, he begins to question everything-especially the mysterious Artisans, a group of rebels who dare to defy the Regime by creating forbidden art, music, and films. Driven by the desire for something real and meaningful, Elion sets out on a journey to find the Artisans. Along the way, he stumbles upon the vibrant expressions of human creativity that have been hidden for years-art, music, and movies that stir his soul and awaken his true self. With the help of his friends, including the enigmatic Kira, Elion risks everything to create these forbidden forms of expression, even if it means losing everything he knows.

Why wasn't I moving anymore? I'd gone still, muddled at what I should do. My eyes swept up off my body and on to the boy, catching a breath in my throat when he smirked in my direction, flicking two fingers two in the air. "Hi," I read from his lips. Helplessly, I become entangled in his soft spoken greeting, taking the first leap to the captivating boy in the corner. I decided he was beautiful enough to become my distraction. My own little addiction until I left the safety of the pretend world we were all playing make-believe in. --------- Right when Silvia Ellington is about to start her senior year, her mother decides to have her move in with her aloof father and his "perfect" family in California.

He's damaged. He's lost. And worse of all, his memories have come to life. If he wants to find peace, he'll need to redefine what it really means to move on. -- For the first time in years, Atlas feels like he's separated himself from the misfortune in his life. He's healed, he's rented a decent apartment, he's settled into a solid-enough-for-him job working as a grunt for some scientists. Now he's (reluctantly) traveling to the spring snows of Alaska, where they plan to test the first run of their earthquake-harnessing technology. But something goes wrong. They don't harness the energy of an earthquake. No. Instead, the ground rips apart. A massive crevice forms, leading deep into the Earth. The chasm lulls him forward like a Siren, telling him tales of his mother, of her laughter, of her scent of strong sandalwood, and of his life before her death. Waking up in what he can only describe as Hell, he's confronted with every misfortune in his life. Forced to befriend mirages made from his most painful childhood memories or pay severe consequences, he travels the twisted realm in search of answers.

Mesuka village needs a new alpha after the oldest son dies and the younger one must take his place. Mika, who had always lived in his brother's shadow, was cast into the role.

War steals that which we want most to keep safe. And for those who live on the isles of the Everblue, the fear of war has rooted itself deep within their hearts and stalked the edges of their dreams. For Evan Montresser, that fear hasn't taken hold in his heart. Instead, it has always been his dream to become a Leaf of the Alliance and pilot an airship to guard people from that fear. Claire, Evan's older sister and already a pilot, wants to keep him as far from the military and brewing war as possible. But when a mysterious girl with crystals embedded into her wrists falls onto Evan's airship, Evan and Claire find themselves thrown into a chain of events that will bring them to the center of the Everblue sky, and the reason their fragmented world is tearing itself further apart. What role does this girl play in the destruction of Evan and Claire's world, and why is the Empire willing to start a war just to kill her? They're about to find out.

The Universe was a terrifying pit of darkness, a gaping hole in reality without an ending. Despite the emptiness, there was a tiny glimmer of light that dare burst through. The light was the spark to ignite a magical core, the very essence of one's soul. Light rose to meet the darkness, as equals in the cosmic universe. Thus, the Four Magicks were crafted: Light, Reality, Darkness, and Soul. With the harmonious elemental union of Dark and Light, something new was created-The Wielder. He was the first of humanity, blessed with the powers of the Four. Their essence rippled through him and as other beings were born, the Four's essence dispersed amongst the universe, with various planets filled with magical users. Rarely could users possess more than one specialization in the Four. No one-Except the Wielder. And as it always does, the time for universal peace ended with the descent into chaos. The Wielder did the only thing he could to stop the spread of darkness, cleave the universe and his own soul into two different halves. ~~~~ WIELDERS SOCIALS: Insta: @wielders_ Facebook: @wielders_
