There has been growing tension among the citizens of Zyphia. We fear Terra may be under threat so Alpha proposed a new scheme: Project Refracted. The project is still in testing with trials ongoing. Subjects have been resistant as of yet but perfect candidates. Terra must survive. *** They truly believe all those lies, a fabrication of what they indoctrinate us to think is reality. It astounds me how those cowards just accept it. I lost my family to them. Those monsters who should never have even come to power let alone remain in it. They believe in a utopia, a heaven here on Terra following the destruction of Earth. But I am worth more and no one will be taken from me again. My fate was written a long time ago but you still have a choice. Will you join the rebellion?

[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and they can be reawoken. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. In an empty town, there's not much to do except innovate new survival methods. Meg's crush is the one to discover that Morse Code, like writing, is a safe means of communication. That's all fine and good until the nightly rain begins. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.

Being King Arthur's daughter is not as good as it sounds. Sixteen-year-old Melora has struggled to find her place ever since her brother was trampled to death in a hunting accident. Her father raised her to be a warrior, but Melora isn't allowed to enter the nearby forest to prove herself worthy. She wants to escape, but how can she leave when even the sight of a horse makes her paralyzed with fear? Prince Orlando is expendable. His arrogant brothers and distant father were thrilled for him to leave tiny Thessaly. Orlando heard tales of Arthur's court, where men are measured by their worth. He came to prove himself; he didn't plan to fall in love. Pursuing Melora earns him powerful enemies and endangers them both. When Orlando is cursed to eternal imprisonment in the Otherworld, only Melora can save him and break the curse. Melora must overcome warriors, outsmart kings, and face her deepest fears if she wants to get Orlando out alive. But first, she'll have to get on a horse. *A Retelling of The Adventure of Melora and Orlando*
