In which two families allow their traditions to strangle to death their own flesh and blood.

In the distant future, the human population sits at an astonishing 11 billion. The cost of living is high, and the space to do so is limited. Earth is overpopulated, overheated, and over-industrialized. Scientists predict exponential population growth to continue, despite the severe decline of human surroundings. We were never meant to live like this. A group called The Cure is trying to change things back to the way they once were. They believe that we are the weapons of our own destruction, and the real enemy of humankind is modern medicine. For years, the Cure has developed a reputation as a large organization that hid behind eloquent soap box speeches and widespread propaganda. We never thought they would act. We were wrong. __________________________________ First Place in the Blue Rose Book Awards (Action) cover made by humorously

❝What brings you to Rome?❞ ❝A broken heart. You?❞ ❝I have three months to live. And I've heard gelato is pretty good.❞ I traveled to Rome thinking I'd never be able to love again, only to find that home was in a whimsical boy who could speak to the wind. I traveled to Rome because I needed change, only to find an entirely new world inside ethereal emerald eyes. I traveled to Rome with a broken heart, only to leave it somewhere underneath a thunderstorm behind the Vatican. This is the story of my trip to Rome-a trip that filled my life with colors I didn't know existed and songs that could only be heard by my heart. All in a matter of seven days. ~ book one of the "A Week in..." series ~ cover by @TheGreatSphinx | 1st place winner of 2018 Zodiac Summer Awards |

'Look, I never wanted my life to be like this. Who would pick all this catastrophic dangerous life over a peaceful normal life? Definitely not me. I'd rather be at home playing video games than fighting creatures with sharp teeth bigger than my future. I'd prefer to do homework than all of this. Take note that I said homework...' Ember's life is turned upside down even more than it was before. Now instead of wondering what to eat for breakfast, she has to wonder how many bottles of laundry detergents it'll take to wash off monster guts stains from her clothes. Join Ember as she battles monsters, overcomes various challenging situations and tries to recover the Sceptre of Magic, all while discovering her true identity.

(Completed) Two assassins were set to kill a girl. No questions asked. Just kill her and claim their prize. That was their mission. Except one of them was not supposed to visit Volney, the land of the dead and the other fall in love with a girl and totally forget about his mission to kill. For an heir who had dedicated her entire life for her kingdom, fate was not kind. Her sister should have returned home after her visit to her aunt's place. Her kingdom must have been safe, both terrestrial and by sea. But does anything ever goes planned? As a general, she must now decide. Kingdom or family? Suffice to say, slavery was the safest option for a bride. Hated by the king's daughter, she wonders what she had ever done in her life to deserve her hate. With her friend of fifteen years gone to join the rebellion, and without realising what it would cost her, she makes new friends. But would they keep her alive? Or would they sell her for their life? Friendships will be tested. Foes will become allies. Hunted will become the Hunter. And lover will become the betrayer. Not edited! Cover made by @Shadowsleek
