"A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars." ~Carly Simon

The year is 2167. Space travel is commonplace, and human colonies exist across three close solar systems called the Triquetra. And a terrible war wages on the planet Shiuq, which has produced more deaths than any war the galaxy has witnessed in centuries.
  
   Syarrhe is a member of the Cerridwen military, Cerridwen being the only non-Earth planet dominated by humans. She's offered a position as an officer if she can help stem the war on Shiuq, not knowing that this will lead her to uncover the truth behind her parents' death, the existence of her monk sister, and a forgotten tome that risks all order the Triquetra knows. As the stakes increase for each mission she goes on and as her own knowledge of order and the galaxy is tested, Syarrhe finds herself in something much bigger than a simple land war, much more complicated than the usual past of orphaned siblings- and it seems that, even in space, fate has a hand in everything...
  
  ~Contains mild language, sexual references, and mild violence.

"I could feel it. The full strength of my brother's power. I didn't know how far away he was, but he definitely wasn't nearby. And yet still, he was able to reach me. Able to trinkle into my humans thoughts and fully capture the falcon's mind with absolute power. I knew my brother was scared. That fear was what made him reach out. He didn't know what Giovanna and Leona had in for him. Or worse: he did. Even though I knew by brother was afraid I also knew was a force to be reckoned with. And although Giovanna had him, he wasn't going down without a fight. He didn't have to tell me he would help us find him. I already knew. Any information he sent to me was important. My brother and I shared a connection like no other. We always had. We always would. " Part of Celeste is relieved that the people with the big guns have showed up to help, but another part of her is beginning to tear at the seams from the pressure she's endured. Although her upper most goal is to survive no matter what, when she finds out her brother has been captured by none other than Giovanna herself, she questions whether or not she can live with herself if she doesn't give it her all in trying to get him back. She knows getting him back might mean she will die trying, but maybe with the help of the powerful Unknowns that can control the elements, she can do it. However, Giovanna has a few tricks up her sleeve and the Unknowns soon will find out just how powerful she really is. Everything is going just as she wants it to. Nothing will stand in her way and nothing will escape her control... ATTENTION: THIS IS BOOK 5 Some *mild* marijuana use in this story and some sexual scenes/themes (nothing explicit).

Nobody said Rock Hauling would be easy. Throughout settled space, terraforming is the fuel that drives the interstellar economy. For some worlds, this is easy. For others, lacking resources, or on the periphery, this is an unattainable dream. Through the eyes of workers, astronauts and intellectuals, Sunlight's Edge follows an attempt to revitalize the crumbled terraforming project of the barren, poverty-stricken and resource-poor planet of Tylo. To carry this out, the beggared planetary government has commissioned the crew of the aging, if powerful asteroid-cracker Caroline Rowland to make the three-month journey to a distant asteroid belt and tug a selected asteroid back into orbit for conversion into a space station. This is difficult enough by itself, but located in a strategic demilitarized zone between two rival interstellar hegemons, Tylo and it's project may be the flashpoint for a conflict of apocalyptic proportions, with the Caroline Rowland and her crew as the spark that lights the tinder. This is the debut novella for the world of Starpiercer, a planned series of novels set in the 200-world region of Solace with accompanying illustrations, sketches, maps, technical details and more. Read along to meet alien species, experience real and speculative technologies, and follow a sprawling interconnected narrative over multiple novels and multiple series, with fully realized histories, culture groups, physics, biology, anthropology and thousands of pages of worldbuilding. This story has been fully written, and more sections will be published daily, hourly, or in other chunks.

The year is 2889. Three hundred and thirteen years after fleeing a dying earth, the Universe Association has never been stronger. Eight colonized planets, an organized government, and one man at the head of it all are not expecting change. Still, change can spread like fire if sparked in the right place. Daisy Edelweiss, crown princess of Neptune, begins her first year at the Universe Association Academy. Life in a reconstructed Earthen city is as alien to her as her planet once was to Earth, and the invitations to join secret rebellion groups aren't helping. Not to mention the other royals in her class, some of whom can't get off their high horses, and some of whom have the nicest brown eyes... Artemisia McCourt, the youngest senator in training at UAA, must also adjust to life away from the blue planet. Her aptitudes for politics and writing land her a reputation among the Universe Association as either a tool or a weapon, depending on who gets to her first. Everyone's holding their breath for the Little Senator... Terra Solum, crown princess of Mars, is trying to decide whether to give up her crown to her diabolical younger brother, or keep the crown and be forever trapped in a life she doesn't want. A temporary arrangement is made, during which she is allowed to teach at UAA and keep her title while she decides which life she wants. The decision would be far easier without the former crown prince of Mercury and his perfect hair in her way... Royalty, rebellion, and romance collide in Something We Miss.

Helpful reminders as you read: (subject to change & be updated w/the release of chapters) Main characters: 1. Charlie (woman) - She has light features, recessive genes. She is a mistake in the genetic pool, yet b/c of her lineage she has all of the rulings of an aristocrat. 2. Aero (man) - Dark features, thick eyebrows. Colonel and Charlie's fiance. 3. Rhys (man) - Charlie's best friend. 4. Senator Holm (man) - One of many senators that work directly with President Malcolm Bouchard. 5. 273 (man) - Peat. Dark features. Chocolate brown curls. Tattoos whipped out of place. Emerald green eyes. Vocabulary: * Plebeian - a lower class individual, the lowest class. Marked by light physical features and high spirits! * Aristocrat - an upper class individual. Marked by dark physical features and perfect skin. *Peat - an individual that has both plebeian and aristocratic blood, usually from rape. Marked by a number on the side of his/her neck. * Defect - a derogatory name given to nobles when they appear less than average. * D.O.C. - the day of correction set to kill off those that don't look perfect * Corpse flower - a flower that has been rumored to possess the components to correct the genetic error found in Sybaran. * Silver knickle - currency in Nephraim * G-shot- the shot that corrects defects. * The Oval - is the center of the world, the government. President Malcolm Bouchard works here. Basis and facts throughout the story: Pieces from the Old World are forbidden. Those with lighter hair follicles and iris colors are considered problematic; skin tone is no longer the issue. Every race has the ability to be born with lighter features, so there's no prejudice against race. Just physical features. Sybaran is the continent; Nephraim (home village) , Salem (stricter division, where Aero was born), Mieich, and Shankrai, are the 4 subdivisions (countries) of Sybaran that we have so far.

"I want to create a better world where no one hurts each other, to foster a place where love doesn't have to make hate, where no one hurts or kills anybody. A world where I don't have to hurt anybody anymore." The First Dawn has concluded; Children of Blight are running rampant, and the last remaining Bastions of humanity are searching and killing for them for their last chance to find one to restore the earth. The World Capital stands above everyone, with a shadow government smothering the people. The power balance has been tipped for a century now- then came a girl named Armageddon, changing the world forever. Lydia Armageddon, born on the nuclear fronts of the decimated America, was sold to be a child soldier of The World Capital and is found out as a Child of Blight, her trait being named 'Convergence.' The world is at risk of war once more, with the starting gun being fired for the race to control her. Subject to all matters of mutilation, violation, and experimentation, she escapes Blight Laboratories and finds that the world outside is no better than the months she spent in captivity. Hatred for humanity forms, and a monster is coming to be, slowly, just as a fanatical religion predicted all those years ago. Father like daughter. Until she decides to rob an old man sleeping by a fire with an empty gun, not knowing her life was about to be changed forever. The world prepares for the second dawn as Armageddon's child is born-their saviour. The world looks red, and Armageddon is there in the middle of it all, atop a mountain of corpses upon Mother Earth's flesh. March 17th, 2157: A family of three Children of Blight was found hiding on the edge of the Chinese Blight.
