An elf enters a street-race tournament to escape a corrupt city trapped in endless night. ***** || Voltyss is one of the last-standing cities caught in the Evernight, an endless night that spread across the land when the moon and stars fell from the sky. The city's magical neon aura is enough to ward off the monsters that lurk in the dark and anyone who leaves the city is never seen again. || Alyndra is the only elf left in the neon city and when she witnesses a murder in a back-alley, the House of Horns gives her a choice: join ranks and pledge allegiance or die. Without much of an option, she steps into the world of crime, and the House of Horns uses her enhanced speed and agility to deliver illegal light-weapons to their list of buyers. Alyndra quickly falls into place while balancing her job as a lightrunner and her strange relationship with Venjo, the boss's son who wants her gone just as much as she does. But when the boss orders a hit on an electric mage and Alyndra leaves him alive, she's screwed. Her only way out is to buy her freedom and the prize for Voltyss's street race tournament could give her that and more. On the run and living in hiding, Alyndra enlists a group of unlikely allies.

To save the city, Alyndra and her new allies must find a way to keep the lights on or be devoured by the night. If they don't kill each other first FAST AND FURIOUS meets GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY set in a CYBERPUNK FANTASY world. / FANTASY / SCIFI / ROMANCE / FIRST DRAFT

When fugitive Valentina Linkin is offered a free trip to a tropical island, she takes up the offer without hesitation. Under no pressure to cut her vacation short, she hopes to enjoy the sun before starting her life over. However, the longer she stays, the more she finds strange things that can't be ignored: freak illnesses, terrible accidents, and people who never come back from the hospital. Ira Konstantinov admitted herself to the island hospital a year ago. Her life has never been a breeze, but she hit rock bottom when she was imprisoned and robbed of human sight. She waits in the darkness, trying to find her way above ground. There are horrors on this island - on the surface, underground in the labs, and within the inhabitants themselves. Linkin and Ira are different now, and science hates imperfections.

That time, her father banished her. This time, she brings even more trouble upon herself. People are now hunting Charlie all over London, but only one man succeeds in capturing her. Lincoln Fitzroy is the mysterious head of a secret organization on the trail of a madman who needs a necromancer to control his newly "made" creatures. There was only one known necromancer in the world - Charlotte - but now there appears to be two. Lincoln captures the willful Charlie in the hopes the boy will lead him to Charlotte. But what happens when he discovers the boy is in fact the young woman he's been searching for all along? And will she agree to work for the man who held her against her will, and for an organization she doesn't trust?

THIS IS ONLY SAMPLE. THE REST OF THE STORY IS PUBLISHED ON DREAME APP! Go check it out! Link in bio! You!" I yell, shoving him back. Hard. He stumbles but manages not to fall by getting the walls support. "You're not Danial or some other stupid boy! You're Xavier Parker! You're that boy who left me years ago! The boy who was my best friend!" I sob with my hands thrown in the air. His crystal blue eyes suddenly don't hold that sparkle of laughter, a hint of amusement, they're not dancing with excitement anymore. "N-no! A-are you crazy? I've told you-" "Just stop it, Xavier! Stop lying to me! I know the truth. I've seen the box along with the license." My voice sounds so weak, so unlike me. I remember the last time I cried was years ago, for Xavier. Then I had promised myself I wouldn't until he'd magically come back in my life. And he did. ••••••• ~~~~~~ (((He's my neighbour, and something about him is so familiar. He reminds me of Xavier Parker, my long lost best friend who was kind, sweet, caring, and polite. But this boy next door has none of the qualities above. Unless he's back after 9 years for something? Who knows. . .))) *Includes part 2, •She's Back•* Ongoing

Or so they assume... She's beautiful yet silent, not by a defect, she simply dislikes to mingle with gossip.Yet she has emotional scars that no one sees behind her smile, but a few. Cover by @forcade

----- In serious need of revision! ----- Wanna-be journalist Kate Santoro would do anything for the scoop. Anything. Including finding her way into an underground club exclusive to only those in the Genovese mafia and the beautiful women they employee. What could be more perfect? She would stick to the shadows, snap a few videos, and write the biggest story New York has ever seen, therein making her a legend! Easy as pie. Until she gets found. A series of blatant lies and lucky breaks later and she is mistaken to be one of the workers underneath. While many might be terrified of this predicament Kate couldn't be more excited. The freedom to roam the area and talk to the members of the infamous brotherhood will leave no rock unturned. All she has to do is keep her cover until the night is over and the workers go home. What a fantastic position she is in! There are just two problems. One being him. Alessio. The Don, the Godfather, the Capo di tutti capi (the boss of bosses) who has taken a keen interest in Kate. Even that is something she could probably handle for one night. Except problem number two. They don't leave. Not at the end of the night, the end of the week, or even the end of the month. Alessio's interest in Kate threatens to expose her, something she would surely die from. He knows she doesn't belong but it's not as though she could have just waltzed in, right? By the time Kate realizes that not even the greatest scoop is worth the price, she is in far too deep to call it quits now. ~~~Praise for When The Sun Goes Down~~~ Natasha427: "It was so captivating that I may or may not have spent the last several hours holed up in my room frantically scrolling down to read more.

My father scolds me sharply. I flinch at the anger in his voice and quickly retract my hand, inches from the trunk of the tree. "Sorry father, I couldn't help it. The trees are just so beautiful," I whine turning towards him. His face softens slightly and he scoops me up into his muscled arms. I wrap my small arms around his neck and bury my face into his shoulder. He hugs me tightly and carries me away from the forest. "Why can't we go into the forest?" I ask, looking over his shoulder to see the red and gold leaves slowly disappear from view as we climb the hill. "The forest is a dangerous place," he sighs. "How can something so beautiful be so dangerous?" I mutter in confusion. "The danger is in its beauty." **Cover by SodaliteSilver**

"I bet I will beat you in that." He grabbed my hand and lead me to it. Little does he know. "What do I get when I win?" I laughed. "When? Pshhhh, I will get you a new motorcycle." I keep on forgetting how rich he is. "That means I don't need to catch rides with you anymore," I grin, "Game on, loser." He grabbed his water gun and shot at the cardboard targets and got down 15 out of 20 in the time he had. "Your turn, cupcake" Ace handed me the water gun. "Watch and learn, pretty boy."
