Born into a civil war that has torn her country apart for twenty years, Rowan Emerson fights to maintain the fragile peace that's kept the North American Empire from ruin.  As the youngest Imperial General in history and the daughter of the Emperor, Rowan is hard pressed to stifle an unexpected rebel invasion before the conflict plunges the whole country into chaos.

Joined by rival General and former friend, Damien Montague, Rowan is determined to bring the invasion to an end- and Sam Victor is determined to stop her.

Sent as a spy within Empire lines, Sam fights heart and soul for the rebellion's cause, but the battle is always more than meets the eye.  Steps haunted by danger from the beginning, his fellow spy, Chyanne Hawking uses all her wiles to avoid of suspicion.  Caught in the middle of the clash, civilian Gwen Ash struggles just to keep herself and her family alive.

As the Empire retaliates with crushing force, all begin to wonder if the invasion was doomed from the beginning.  Will the spies save the Offensive from ruin?  Can a single spark awaken the ashes of war?  What's more, what will become of the friendship blossoming between Sam and the unwitting General?

This Is Not The End. by BeaDarby

Skye Jones knew the world had been screwed to hell years ago. What she didn't realise is that she would be expected to save it. After five years in an isolated facility run by the American government with other kids like her, Skye is released into the nightmare beyond the barbed wire walls to trial a safe route to Washington DC. It's the first breath of fresh, unfamiliar air which she wouldn't get beaten for, but that doesn't take away the danger. She's unprotected and isolated because of who she is, but she's one of the most dangerous things out there. With death waiting around the corner at every turn, Skye's group focuses on their main goal: the capital. Yet, this isn't as straightforward as they thought, and they begin wonder if they'll live to make it out the other end. [60'000 - 70'000 words]

The Metaphorical Key Book II- Forge the Path by AM-Morning

(If you haven't read the first book, stop here! Don't spoil yourself, the first book is also on my profile) The death of a friend can break a person, or reshape them. It could be the straw that broke the camel's back, or a motivator, a push in the right direction. Aiden isn't sure where he falls. All he knows is the guilt and the desire for vengeance. Maybe things could've been different if he hadn't made such a disastrous mistake. But then an opportunity arises for Aiden to learn more about his fallen comrade, to get to know him even beyond the grave. And like death, everything that follows could make or break the rebellion. Note: This story contains a subplot featuring a romance between two boys. It's presented as normal. If you have a problem with the lgbt+ community, then this isn't the book - or authour - for you. I'm a member of the community myself. Happy pride month! Spread love, not hate. <3

Amid the struggle for survival, Alexa's relationship with Aiden, a member of the resistance whose sister's death has cast a shadow over both their lives, becomes increasingly complex and intimate. Together, they must navigate their personal conflicts and the larger battle for freedom, all while confronting the harsh truths of their world.

Mankinds last Silhouette by Violet_Sunrise_098

Empire. At the end only Empire remains. No matter how many times you rebel Empire remains. No matter how many times you fight for your democratic Empire remains. Now bend for your emperorr. Welcome readers to my fantasy world. I have brought you something beyond the constraints of my imagination, and I wonder if many are ready for it; however, a good story must be told, and I am fortunate to be the one to tell it. Imagine a world where the vile nature of mankind creeps its ugly head as humanity faces its first and last major catastrophe. The world plunged into everlasting darkness, entrenched in chaos and disorder, where hope is a distant flitting memory. The story I propose to my fellow readers follows Anthony Verdun, who was only a boy when all he knew was taken from him in an instant. Like many others, on that day, those who survived lost a part of themselves, forever scarred by the family, friends, and loved ones they lost. Their lives changed forever; how could it not? I welcome you to join the world I have created, indulge in this hypothetical, and dive into this what-if. What that is, well, you would have to read to find out. Weekly chapter uploads, so stay vigilant. Here is the link to the community discord, where we can discuss the book further.

Force Destiny by EdenWoodsParker

Immediately following the events of The Last Jedi, the battle for the galaxy continues between the First Order and the last of the Resistance. As the new Supreme Leader takes the throne, the First Order is focused on finding and destroying all who oppose them. The Resistance had disappeared into hiding and desperation has forced them to explore the gray areas of war. Meanwhile, on opposite sides of the war, Rey and Kylo Ren are forced to face the realities of their bond, their complicated relationship, their loyalty to their causes, and their understanding of the Force. Could their star-crossed connection be tied to the fate of the galaxy? This is a slow burn! Enemies to friends to lovers. This story continues the arcs and themes beautifully woven through The Last Jedi, as well as the narrative from the previous two trilogies. All plot elements are intended to be canon-compliant through TLJ. This is 100% complete. It was completed in December 2019 on A03 before The Rise of Skywalker was released, so this is not a "fix-it" fic as much as an alternative to Episode IX. This is a dark story. Trigger warnings for major character death, minor character death, violence, severe injuries, psychological torture, physical torture, brief explanations of sexual assault, suicidal thoughts.
