Authoritarian Stories

In the Concord, love is a program, not a feeling. At twenty-two, Liova gets a chance to find a partner before the system quietly decides she's better off alone. At a government-run "coupling party," recycled decorations, endless tests, and a scripted speech are the only things standing between her, failure... and the handsome stranger who might be worth it all. The Concord is never as it seems. I hope you all find the hints along the way as to what is to come. What appears to be a love story might be far more sinister under the surface. Remember, there's always calm before the storm ⛈️ I'm updating this part regularly until it's complete, so come join the journey. 💕

To love is to live. That's what the city teaches. Nova Lee Bekher is fifteen years old and not supposed to exist. In a world where peace is enforced, and anyone who breaks the rules simply disappears, Nova has spent her entire life hidden-illegal, unregistered, and silent. Because Nova is a twin. When one mistake draws the attention of the Takers-the ones who erase people-Nova is ripped from her home and into a sterile world of surveillance, surgery, and control. Meanwhile, her identical sister Luna is left behind, forced to pretend Nova never existed while slowly uncovering the truth the city is desperate to hide. As secrets surface and lies crack, the sisters learn why identical twins are forbidden-and why the system fears them together. This is a story about identity, control, forbidden existence, and what happens when the truth is finally seen. They taught everyone to love quietly. The twins are about to teach them to live freely.

Lux in tenebris; a 'light in the dark fantasy' conveying grandiose themes through the lens of intimate storytelling and characters. Emphasized is the profundity of the individual, through the weight that certain individuals might carry with regards to convoluted webs, or organizations seeing resolution through the acknowledgment of the individual. Narratives that weigh lives disparately, deified authors, and insignificant death taint the world of storytelling as egoistic in nature, and innately cold. It is foremost a demonstration of the world's navigation tool, the mind, as well as all the nuances that accompany the gift of observation. A narrative may be observed through human eyes, but Kigeist is spoken through the mind. All men are born equal...? The process of equating is itself a byproduct of the ego. An impossibly powerful bureaucracy. An ancient genetic power revived in man. A maze of thrills draws you through the endless, storied world of a visionary action epic. Was it so that salvation rested out of reach as the distant blue stars? By the dream of night, you reach out. Are you called awake? To exist? Seek the truth.

Hunter called himself an archaeologist, but he was a modern day treasure hunter. Tiyana was a scientist devoted to her craft. They were passionate people, wholly devoted to their work. Neither of them had time for love. Neither of them could resist it when it happened. Neither of them knew that the world would need the two of them to save it from a tyrannical pre-historic overlord, his cyborg vampire paramour, and their army of mindless drudges. Dawn of the Epoch is an epic science fiction novel about dark matter, death rays, nuclear warfare, and the Large Hadron Collider, but it is also a fantasy novel about medieval warriors, alchemy, and ancient gods. Dawn of the Epoch blends fantasy with reality, bringing mythology to life today. It is also an apocalyptic thriller spanning the globe from the Pyramids of Egypt to the heart of Africa to the majesty of the Himalayas. It is an epic hybrid-genre story with intense action sequences, magic, mythology, suspenseful plot twists, countless obstacles for the protagonists to overcome, and an utterly Machiavellian supernatural villain. Testimonials: "Probably one of my favorite books I've read to date. Brilliantly complex, adoringly rendered and quizzically intense. A must read and one I plan to revisit, and share!" - Amgwatts, Wattpad Reader "This has to be one of the most original and well written novels I have had the pleasure to read, on Wattpad and in general. It was captivating, interesting, immersive and above all, fantastic. I was left in awe of the beings, history and world you created. It was never dull, dry or predicable and it was a nice change from what seems to be the ever popular teen romance with vampires or werewolves or 'bad boys that are actually romantic good boys.' In the end it was a very pleasant surprise." -IridescentLies, Wattpad Reader http://dawnoftheepoch.weebly.com

Fiat justitia ruat caelum; a bygone land dazzled in trickling starlight, standing a solitary warrior, in hand, a destiny offset by six millennia. The splendid lands of the Pangea bridged to heavens by a jumping stream, divine knowledge disseminating throughout feeble man.
