Can she survive the minefield that is this violent place, or will she be yet another soul 'saved' by the mercy of Gilead? Will the man who saves her, keep her contained and content? Or can she, like the few lucky ones, escape to Canada, and see if the love of her life is still alive? #1 #TheHandmaidsTale #5 #dystopian (The Handmaid's Tale fanfiction, based in that world but with original characters.

Into the Shadows - ACOTAR / ACOMAF - Azriel x OC
#1 in #acourtofmistandfury A book of twisted morals, wrongful loyalties, and hidden agendas. Lexa's only hope of surviving the impending wrath of the King of Hybern, her father, is to finally trust someone other than herself. The timeline takes place around 3-4 months after ACOTAR. Chapters referencing rape, murder, and explicit sex may be triggering. Please read with caution. I do not own the ACOTAR characters mentioned in the book. But I do own the original ones: Lexa, Drak, Bancroft - and the more minor ones mentioned throughout the chapters. I have taken further inspiration from Scarlett St. Clair's A Touch of Darkness and Stephanie Myer's Twilight. More specifically, the raunchier chapters from ATOD and Jane and Alex's powers from the Twilight saga.Complete

A woman suspects that her government-imposed birth control implant is controlling her. As reports of uncharacteristically violent female behaviour begin to surge, it becomes evident that the mandatory implant is wreaking havoc on women's impulse control. Is the rage she feels bubbling within a natural reaction to an unjust society or is there something more sinister at play? --- Readers say: "A roller coaster of a story!" "I just loved this story. A fascinating insight into the gender question nested within a fascinating sci-fi premise!" "...a strong and powerfully written work by a skilled and mature writer. I highly recommend it!" -Elveloy, Wattpad Ambassador Featured: Amby Awards Winner Dystopian July 2022 Wattpad AdultFiction Book of the Month April 2022 Speculative Fiction Awards 2022 - WINNER Wattpad AdultFiction Lit List December 2021 Wattpad Stars Feature List September 2021 Contemporary Fiction Awards 2021 SHORTLIST ONC2021 LONGLIST Note: this novella describes a contemporary feminist dystopia and includes non-graphic scenes of sexual predation and violence.

The Four
There used to be a time where the world feared Locatlie. This time was merely decades ago. They thought that the Locatlie family was untouchable, they couldn't come near anyone anymore after the War of hearts. But the people that lived through the War of Hearts got soft, they either died or forgot it happened in the first place. Their children got children and those children forgot whom they were dealing with. Nobody thought that anybody could compete with Queen Julia. The queen whom brought down nations. Until I came along. You think Julia had it rough? Pfft. Her life was a fucking cake walk compared to mine- but lets not get ahead of the story. Julia might be the queen that brought down the nations, but I was the one that made them beg for mercy while burned them all to the ground. Important information: You can read this story without reading the Locatlie series, but it will spoil the Locatlie series for you. If you like books that close off chapters and you like reading long stories, read the Locatlie series first. :) Warning: This story contains physical abuse, mental abuse and sexual abuse.Complete
