Thirteen-year-old David Rhenford is used to winning. He has a great family, great friends, and a closet filled with trophies, but his never-ending winning streak is pitted against the ultimate test--magic. When one desperate prophet's spell goes wrong--or perhaps too right--David is stolen away to a world under the rule of the last wizard of Atlantia. Mages make up the resistance fighting for the freedom of the people. A wizard's magic is unparalled, however, and nothing of Atlantia has been able to defeat him for centuries. Cue David's mysterious and unexpected arrival. David's lost, afraid, and fed up with a life without wi-fi. People are looking to him for rescue, but who the heck would put a middle-schooler in charge of saving an entire world?

If you mention the past, you die. ~~~ Phoenix, a young woman living in The City, has grown tired of unjust deaths, brutal killings, and punishment for individuality. Chips implanted in the throats of citizens ensure every word is heard, deeming the freedom of speech to be nonexistent. Lies are uttered, trust is scattered, and fear coats the air. Having seen and experienced enough, Phoenix ultimately decides to abandon her homeland and travel north. An unexpected encounter with someone she hadn't predicted she'd see again alters her plans, and her life. Facing old friends, new comrades, and cruel Enforcers, Phoenix finds herself confused about her identity and role in the midst of all these changes. Strangers are turning into allies, a revolution is being born, and there is a continuous battle between her heart and mind. She does not know who to trust and who to kill. When you are surrounded by many but are completely alone, you start making dangerous decisions. ~~~ ONGOING ©Heba Mawid 2020

The deepest darkest prison on the planet is not where anyone would choose to start their day, particularly when they have a job to do. A princess and her personal guards fighting to stop a war, arrested for trespassing; an expert assassin stalking a merciless wizard, arrested for poaching; and a confused boy, utterly lost and severely concussed, arrested for failing to adequately explain who he was or how he came to be lying in a sizable crater. Together this unlikely, and somewhat unwilling, band of allies will perform daring escapes and battle an onslaught of mages, monsters, and malodorous thieves as they race across a continent to save two nations from mutual annihilation.
