The world is dimmer. The flame has been extinguished. The death of Kyojuro Rengoku, the vibrant and unwavering Flame Hashira, sends a shockwave of despair through the Demon Slayer Corps. In the grim aftermath, the title lies vacant, a monument too great for any one soul to fill. Yet, someone must. The demons do not mourn; they multiply. Haijima Renji, holder of the Kinoe rank, is thrust into the blinding vacancy left by a legend. He is a skilled warrior, but skill is a pale shadow next to Rengoku's radiant sun. Plagued by the echoing doubt-"I am not worthy"-Renji is a man condemned by his own respect for the dead. But when the night bleeds with terror and the innocent scream, his own inadequacy becomes a luxury he can no longer afford. Clutching a blade that feels heavier than ever, he steps forward. Not to become a new sun, but to become a desperate, burning spark in the all-consuming darkness. He knows this path may lead only to a martyr's grave. The question is not if he can replace the Flame Hashira, but whether his own fragile flame will be enough to light the way... or if it will be snuffed out forever.

It's about the life of the Lorax

2081. In a sinister world where human survival hinges on biotechnology, an oblivious sixteen-year-old possesses the one code to undo it all. Can she survive the devious world designed to eliminate anything - anyone - out of the ordinary before it's too late? Mia Love is nothing extraordinary. Just another teenager who wants to please her mother, make snide comments, and become an artist - if it's not too much to ask. But in her rigid, military world, she must do as everyone does; attend the stupid graduation camp that will assign her a boring job. One night, she wakes to a voice telling her to 'Get out. Run'. Moments later, in an eerie midnight camp gathering, she's trapped amid chaos -- bloodied and fighting for her life - when the harmless teens turns on one another; school against school, student against student. Mia survives with the help of her combat-trained best friend, Nate, only to be chased through the dangerous woods by the armed military. Her bio-nanotechnology chooses that moment to glitch, but Mia is determined to solve the mystery. Why on earth did the students turn on one another? Who warned her beforehand? How? If she can survive the night, she might find answers. *** WATTY 2021 SCI-FI WINNER. Featured on: - @action - Thriller [Content warning: This story contains themes of bullying and violence.]

Through the Shifting Trees is a sweeping, slow-burn fantasy romance about fate, forbidden love, and the courage to challenge a world built on cruelty. When environmental scientist Eloise steps into an old photo booth in Philadelphia, she expects nothing more than a moment of nostalgia-not to be ripped from her reality entirely. Stranded in Drysten, a land ruled by elves and shadowed by injustice, she finds herself at the mercy of Cedar, a hardened half orc warrior whose past is as tangled as the forests that hide the rebellion he protects. To Cedar, Eloise is leverage-a means to free his imprisoned sister. To Eloise, he is her captor, a man she refuses to trust. But as war looms and the lines between right and wrong blur, she is drawn into a battle far greater than herself. In the hidden village of Annora, where outcasts carve out fragile hope, Eloise begins to question the home she longs for-and the walls Cedar has spent a lifetime building. With every stolen glance and every fight fought side by side, the bond between them deepens, undeniable and dangerous. But love in a world like this demands sacrifice. As the trees shift and the past refuses to stay buried, Eloise must make an impossible choice: fight in a revolution lead by a closed off warrior she hates to admit she cares for, or find a way back to the life she lost on earth before Drysten's rulers carve out more loss than she can take.

For this cyborg, power is just an upgrade away. Emmett was used to being caught between college and his engineering internship, but when he gets caught between a powerful hero and an even stronger villain, he becomes collateral damage. Instead of dying, he wakes up a cyborg. Turns out his boss wasn't just an eccentric inventor, and the old man just gave him a shining opportunity to be a hero. Except that's just the beginning, and things are about to get a lot more complicated. His boss has his own agenda. The boss's daughter has her own power armor. His roommate works for an evil corporation. And Emmett is small fry. Just a Class 1 hero. Superheroes aren't just masks-some work for corporations, or for the government and the military, and even as mercenaries in wars. Shadowy cabals pull the strings of hero and villain alike. The city of Belport might be peaceful for now, but most of the world is in turmoil. If Emmett is going to have any chance at making a difference, he needs to get stronger. A lot stronger. How much of his humanity will he hold onto and how much will he trade away? If you're a fan of Cyborg, Winter Soldier, Iron Man, or Batman Beyond, then you don't want to miss this series!
