In a world consumed by war, where nations clash over the responsibility of a fatal disease, Emilia awakens with no memories. She has a scar on her wrist, a tag around her neck, and a cryptic mission laid before her, and the only allies she can trust are a group of fellow soldiers who may be hiding the key to her forgotten past. She is told to keep her head down and continue with the mission; terrorism. Emilia's fractured memories are threatening to reveal a dark secret. Beneath her own identity lies a truth she cannot escape. Their mission: to infiltrate and destabilise an enemy they're beginning to suspect may be on their side. Their enemy? Australia. In a place where betrayal can shatter the world, they're forced to play a dangerous Game with devastating consequences. As the line between puppeteer and puppet blurs, Emilia must uncover the truth before they all become casualties of a war where the only way to win is to be the last one standing, even if it means allowing innocence to be killed in the crossfire.

That night he pressed a paper into her hands and told her to run, to burn the paper, to never stray from its words, had an impression on her life that she'd never really talked about. But it affected everything. "You're gonna run like hell when you get to out onto the street. Don't stop. Don't ever stop," Was it still worth it, curled up on the cement floor? Yes. Knowing that what you're doing is good doesn't ensure that it'll ever be easy. Bucky learned that many years ago in his childhood, and over again in World War Two. So why was the world still trying to teach him that, after everything he'd been through? Pain, pain, pain, for every choice you try to make yourself. Being yourself causes the pain... that was what Hydra taught him. What Hydra wanted him to believe. And he wished he didn't have to believe it, but it was true. Of course she didn't want to lie to him. He was like hope in the darkness, even when he was part of the darkness. Every time he went through shit, he inspired her. That night when he'd pressed a paper into her hands and told her to run, to burn the paper, to never stray from its words, had had an impression on her life that she'd never really talked about. But it affected everything. Cover by @planetaryfire (thanks so much!)

But what can we do if we suffer from a cataract of delusion?" ___________________________________ Olivia Whitley had always believed her life was picture-perfect - until she uncovered the devastating truth: her first love, Vinson, had been in love with their childhood friend, Leo. Out of loyalty, Olivia had agreed to a sham marriage with Leo, sacrificing her own happiness to protect them from societal judgment and their families wrath. But her sacrifices had thrust her into a web of betrayal and deceit, culminating in a shocking outcome - seven years in prison for crimes she hadn't committed.

After her release, Olivia embarked on a dangerous journey to uncover the conspiracy that had destroyed her life. As she dug into long-buried truths and questioned everything she once believed, she faced a terrifying reality.

Skye Templeton is sick of living in a small village in the Scottish Highlands where everyone knows every single little thing about her. She's tired of her dead-end "situationship". She desperately needs to escape . . . So when a chance encounter opens her eyes to the possibility of a different life, she decides it's time to shake things up a bit. Moving to Glasgow on a whim probably isn't her smartest idea, but Skye is determined to make the most of her new life. Unfortunately, life doesn't always work out the way you planned . . . Especially if you didn't really have a plan in the first place! ~~~~~~~~ I initially started this story with the intention of entering it into the Open Novella Contest this year - I've since found out that it wouldn't qualify but I'm still using one of the prompts all the same! The prompt I'm using is: Prompt 45- "Keep your happily ever after; it ain't mine." And, much like Skye, I really don't have a plan for it yet, so let's just see what unfolds! ;-)

|| WATTPAD FEATURED ×2 || In the floating city of Onavale, the relatives of the original Obsidian Order called the Gems; Garnet, Amethyst, Emerald, Pearl, Sapphire, Topaz, and Onyx had all the power. They were viewed like gods, living in the most expansive homes with infinite food and resources. Meanwhile, the humans lived in scraps, never seeing a rich life or even a clean sky. Everything was chaotic and dangerous, a constant game of survival. Annie grew up this way; confident, intelligent and witty. But, like most, she grew to hate the Gems. When Annie turns eighteen, she gets promoted to a promising job in Onavale, having to work as a slave for 20-year-old Kim Taehyung---the relative of Garnet. She thought he was the most irritating soul to exist, with his arrogant yet cold behaviour, and ethereal beauty. It all annoyed her. Things only become more complicated when Annie's job involves more than she expected, and feelings begin to reveal themselves in the most unlikely of places. ||Featured @StoriesUndiscovered in March 2023|| ||Featured @WattpadUrbanFantasy|| ||🥉Third Place in the Singularity Awards|| ||RANKED #200 UNDER DYSTOPIAN||
