Dystopianromance Stories

Based on the Concept Album made by Nocturne's Kiss titled The Edge Of The Outside In a grim future, the United States has become divided into two nations. In the southern nation of Hemlock, the controlled masses known as "Victims" are refused simple rights known to American in the past such as the rights to love freely, speak your mind, or freedom of religion. The Deceivers are working to control the population and keep a constant state of war. The Infiltrators do the dirty work of the Deceivers. An everyday citizen, Blue, known in Hemlock as Subject 1116, has had enough of these rules and has decided he would rather live life as a fugitive participating in acts of love than to be a mindless pawn of the Deceivers of Hemlock. This is his story. Might not be completely accurate to the story but I'm trying my best here :(

In a destroyed world, is it even worth fighting for something as trivial as love? The world is destroyed, the war has erased every boundary between good and evil.

Enmity, duty, and desire collide as they discover that the most dangerous weapon... perhaps, is love.

At eighteen, they handed her her career. At twenty-two, they will hand her her husband, and the children her body will owe him.  In Havenville, love is not a choice. Marriage is not sacred.

When Fiona is chosen for The Binding, she's forced into a blood-sealed marriage with Dale Johnson, a rising lawyer in the system-polished, powerful, and impossible to read. The state calls it tradition. The city calls it protection. Everyone calls it normal. But on the coast during Integration Week, Fiona finds something that should not exist: a forbidden book... and a warning written in real handwriting. Don't speak. The walls listen. Write.  With surveillance everywhere and a legacy already scheduled, Fiona must decide what's more dangerous: obedience... or the kind of love that could get them both killed. Forced marriage. Dystopian control. Slow-burn romance. Rebellion starts in whispers. *Author's Note: The Binding is a dystopian romance featuring an assigned marriage and themes of surveillance and reproductive control. Please read with care.

Overnight, couples become calculations. Romance becomes a performance review.
