Night marches on the Everburning City. The life-killing mist enshrouding the world, the Gloam, clings to the walls. Golems, towering monsters of stone, shake the earth as they march. And the dead rise again, puppeteered by some distant, titanic power. For Corporal Valen Redgrave, on the watch at the outermost walls of the City, the night marks the end of the military life he has known. The idyllic simpering of the watch has ended, and Valen finds himself the pillar upon which his companions' courage rests. For Gwendolyn Aranhall, stewarding a work rehabilitation camp for youth guilty of petty crimes, the night heralds the dismantling of everything she has known. As the Gloam claims the world around her, and she becomes the last thing standing between children and monsters, she finds in herself a heart unbroken by her fear. And that resilience will see darker responsibilities laid upon her. For Crafter Olivia Polden, the fire she commands and the red coat she wears represents the single greatest power in the City. Weirder of a power that could doom the City as surely as the foes marching upon it, she will stand first among those sent to halt the invasion. And only then, begin to learn how to live with despair. There is no night in the Everburning City. There can never be. (Cover courtesy of Mahana258)

When the highly-skilled Agent 23 is captured by rival spies, a covertly-engineered clone replaces her on a mission to unmask a mole among international diplomats before they learn top-secret weapons plans. Afterward, the clone must stage Agent 23's escape. ~ Xara Oclen, nickname Agent X, is the foremost spy in the International Intelligence Agency. With a sonographic memory and high attention to detail, she has all the tools she needs to be a top agent. But that also means that she has one of the largest targets riding on her back. The Director of the International Intelligence Agency (IIA) gets word that at a world leaders conference, one of the diplomats will be switched by WAOIC, an opposing spy agency who specializes in collecting data about other countries and selling it to buyers. Given Xara's abilities, and the weight of the mission, she is the only logical choice for the job. But opposing forces will do anything to stop her. After an unfortunate mishap during the case, the leaders of the International Intelligence Agency must decide who will replace Xara and her unique skill set. After some deliberation they decide on the person who is best equipped for the job: Xara's clone who was secretly engineered eighteen years prior. Not only does Xara's clone have to navigate the ins and outs of the dangerous mission, but she also receives the task of going into WAOIC's top secret prison and freeing her double - the real Agent X.

No one ever said what would happen when dragons and aliens meet. And no one told me that I would be in the middle of it. Tasha was studying hard to get through her last year of university when she was kidnapped. She certainly didn't expect to wake up with four feet and wings. Mad scientists are bad enough, but things get even more complicated when aliens appear and wipe out the human race. Is there a way for her to hide her true identity in this new world while retaining her humanity? --------------------- Sneak Peek: I jumped over the lip of the tray and beat down hard with my wings. I had expected to only slow my fall; I had not expected to end up gaining so much height. I squawked in surprise and spread my wings wide in alarm before gravity regained its hold on me. With several awkward back-winging motions of my wings, I landed lightly on the floor. Well, at least I know my wings work. I glanced at the man in the corner as he was scribbling quick notes. I turned around to regard the tray again. They say practice makes perfect. With another hop and a single wingbeat, I managed to land in the sand tray with fanned wings slowing my momentum. That was much more graceful. But a wing-assisted hop wasn't true flight. And I still wasn't on the windowsill. ---------------------------- Entire semi-polished draft can be read on Wattpad.
