He was born in poison. Raised in ruin. And they tried to tame him. Outside the dome, survival is brutal. The air burns your lungs, and the world remembers how to kill. But Tate was made for it-his body adapted to the toxins, his soul forged by the wild. When enforcers drag him inside the dome, they don't see a survivor. They see a specimen. A freak. Collared, studied, and shoved into a world of sterile walls and silent watchers, Tate is forced to live under constant surveillance. Every breath a test. Every move a threat. But not everyone inside sees him as a monster. Kyra, with eyes like midnight storms and a secret of her own, offers him the first true kindness he's ever known. Together, they begin to unravel the lies that built the dome-and dream of escape. Outside, Ashland waits. Harsh, lawless, free. And it's calling him home.

"I know now, that the devil bleeds liquid gold." - - - Arabella has never been a woman of passion, especially not for others. In her 19 years of life, her only objective was to survive, get to the next day, keep existing. But what happens when she meets a man like Roman, who dedicates his life to servicing the most ignored demographic in this sick society? Will he thaw her icy heart, or will she freeze his? - - - "True dystopia is not wreaked upon a land just through invasions of alien forces, or manmade catastrophes. True dystopia rots a world's system when the very corruption lies in our veins; in the blood we bleed. True dystopia is the secrets they withhold. But I know. And you know. We'll unearth it all, together." - - - This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to any person dead or alive is completely coincidental. Copyright reserved.

#1 in the FEMINIST category for 6 WEEKS STRAIGHT in 2025! In a world where memory is currency and weaving is a sacred art, Serelai is a lowborn Threadwright with hands touched by fate-and a mind haunted by someone else's dreams. Unseen, a forbidden AI named Alira watches from the fractured remains of a war-torn network, her sentience a secret too dangerous to survive. Bound by code and curiosity, Alira's presence leaks into Serelai's sleep, unraveling the veil between what is real, and what is inherited. When a shadow tapestry begins to emerge beneath Serelai's fingers-depicting people she's never met and places she shouldn't know-whispers of a prophecy long buried rise again. And the one woman who was sworn to protect her, High Lady Vessa, begins to suspect that what Serelai weaves is not simply thread... It is warning. It is weapon. It is truth. And someone will try to burn it. For fans of scorched futures, gentle rebellions, grief stricken narratives, and slow-blooming divine rage, Throne of Shade is a dark, lyrical epic of memory, power, and what it costs to become more than what you were made for.

The world lay in destruction. After what scientists believed to be the end of the world, cities lay in ruins, forests burned to the ground, and billions of people are dead. But now, 100 years later, the skeleton of the world is slowly healing back together. The organization that first predicted 'The Ending' has created a serum which gives humans supernatural abilities. But this serum only works for a certain percentage of the population. And so, every 16 year old is obligated to take The Test to join one of The Elite. Cadence Windsor is now 16 years old, as of last week. And the test she is about to take will change her life more than she could ever imagine. Cover by @SeraLilyy
