In a future where Earth is a dying wasteland and only the wealthy thrive on Mars' untouched paradise, survival is a privilege reserved for the elite. Calista Hartman was never meant to have that privilege. As a baby, she was injected with Biosynth-an experimental serum that saved her life but left her with unknown side effects no one fully understands. To escape a fate of forced motherhood, she became Cal-a soldier hidden behind a man's name, carving out a place in a brutal world where women are seen as little more than tools for repopulation. For years, she's fought, endured, and outsmarted them all. But when General Cassian Thorne, the ruthless leader of the army, uncovers her secret, everything she's built is suddenly at risk. As tensions rise between the starving Earth and the untouchable elite of Mars, Cal faces a choice: keep running, or step out of the shadows and become something greater than she ever imagined.

Rei, a former samurai lieutenant is reincarnated into the body of an 8 year old, who happens to be the main villainess in a romance novel for foreign girls. A villainess destined to be executed by her fiancé the crown prince for cruelty towards the heroine of the novel. To avoid being executed she must to make allies among her enemies, get out of the heroine's way, and untangle herself from the poisonous intrigue of court the best she can in the role of a future courtier. However, the vaguely described backdrop said nothing about the conflicts building beyond the heroine's understanding, or that women weren't allowed on the battlefield. I am honestly left speechless. I am very touched and honored by all the attention, by all the sweet, beautiful and fun comments I've received over the last month, it's been truly amazing. To those who already enjoy it, I hope you will continue to do so. To those who decide to pick it up, I hope you have as much fun with it as I did!

"For a second chance." "Mei..." "No..." "I will be..." "Anathasia Veridielle Augthoria." "This time..." "I will not fail." - After recreating existence for the chance to meet the one who had always chosen her, Anathasia Veridielle Augthoria strives to live her new life to the fullest. Yet after separating herself from the Plenitude Without Reason, she finds herself detached from the very humanity she wishes to reclaim. Together with Kyle, the man she has chosen at every waking moment. She sets out to become human once more. To live, rather than simply exist. To choose, rather than merely affirm. As they journey forward, the two guide one another toward the very thing they have both long sought. For Anathasia, it is the humanity she abandoned in exchange for preserving existence itself. For Kyle, it is an understanding of his place within the force that once erased everything they had. Two paths converge. One is the reason existence continues to exist. The other is the nature that once dissolved all distinctions. Together, they seek an equilibrium. Not to recreate existence, but to reclaim what should have been from the very beginning.

Dark magic, beautiful women, enemies-to-lovers... Jordan, the last living Sorceress of Bal'Talanor blood, has come of age at last. She is the rightful Heir, but she has grown up on Earth, unmindful of her identity. She has never heard of the world of Andoherra, nor of World Queens, and, to her, magic is nothing but a parlour trick. When she accidentally finds her way back to her homeland, she discovers her true nature, her awakening power - and the flamboyant Fire Queen who stands between her and her destiny. Calyx is a deadly Sorceress bound by duty to protect Jordan. She will stop at nothing to restore the heir to the throne and slay all those who stand in the way. This should be an easy task - well within the capabilities of her immense magic - but there are three things she didn't bargain for: losing Jordan, a vengeful dragon, and the small problem of feelings for her mortal enemy, Nerys. Most frustrating of all, she doesn't have long to debate which issue is the more pressing concern. The starving world of Andoherra is sliding toward total self-destruction, and all the magic in existence doesn't appear to be able to make a damned thread of difference. A/N: Leaving this story up because it's a great reminder to myself about where I started, and how much I've learned about writing since Dark Of The Sun first went live.
