As the rising population goes beyond control, countries begin fighting over the scrap of resources left, and nobody can deny that it's the high time to take drastic measures. So inhumane policies begin to rise, and the government comes up with what they call, "The Shearing". 

Its rule is simple. Once a person commits a crime, his entire family bloodline shall be hunted down and killed no matter how big, how sparse, and how difficult it is to track every individual that's biologically related to the criminal. 

Byrne Holland turns desperate. 

Since the Holland family name has earned its place in the country's Kill Queue, Byrne's life suddenly hangs at the edge of a knife. From being a cashier lady, Byrne has to take a steep turn and change her whole identity; has to adapt to criminals' ways, and has to be with the criminals and other wanted, for it is the only way left to keep herself alive, while she and the wanted Oliver plots out a plan to save her sister.  

But would Byrne and Oliver be able to save her sister in time now that everyone is hunting them down?

A 5x Wattpad Featured Novel✨! Consider this: You make a life altering decision not too long ago that you reconsider everyday and as if that isn't enough torture, it has the nerve to violently dangle two other decisions before your eyes. Want to guess the first? Well, the first decision is a step in the right direction but with highly probable danger to you and colossal doom to everyone else. And the other? The other is the best way to play it safe...until definite danger to you and colossal doom to everyone else. This is what Beth has to face after what appears to be a memorable night for the school of Zavlon Academia, morphs into a nightmare etched in the minds of the whole student body. Obviously, it's not easy. Especially when she's not only supposed to save, but unite with the other lucky few who manage to escape the incident. The very people who either contributed to or ignored the treatment she received as the 'other' Zavolonian. Particularly the enigma of a boy she's particularly torn as to whether to like or detest, to trust or suspect. Whichever decision isn't going to change one thing though; the lurking evil that's cutting corners, coming for the ones who got away. Fast. Ready or not.

[Book 1 in the CODES series] || Clara is stubborn and installs Roger, an AI program, inside her head in the most unconventional way, but because she's severed Roger's ties to his data, Clara is the only free citizen within a city that wants her mind... and her soul. ** In 2102, after the fall of separate nations, the world stands unified and equal. Under the Province, citizens know only the perfection the Government has to offer. And that's the only world Clara knows; simplicity and technological bliss. So, when Government officials announce the VF program, equipped with the highest artificial intelligence science has to offer, she is all for it. Who wouldn't want a computer assistant that not only takes care of your everyday needs, but is meant to be your bestest friend, too?It sounded as perfect as Province made life out to be. But all good things come with a price. What no one knew about the program meant to mimic the human mind, was that it wanted the human soul. Because no utopia can be built on truths, and no amount of sublimity can cover lies. Clara's only means of survival is the one rogue VF in her mind: Roger. ** | Completed | Exclusive to Wattpad ** featured: 💥 @Speculativefiction - A Crack In The System highest rankings: 💥 #43 in Science Fiction! 4/24/18 💥 #1 in Cyborg 6/16/18 💥 #27 in scifi-fantasy 8/04/18 💥 #1 in Artificial Intelligence 8/04/18 💥 #19 in Cyberpunk 11/29/20 * Awards: ⭐ 2nd Place in Science Fiction -- 2018 The Stella Luna Awards ⭐ 1st Place in Science Fiction -- Cognition Awards 2018 ⭐ 3rd Place in Science Fiction -- The 2018 Flavored Awards ⭐ 1st Place in Science Fiction -- 2nd Annual Ohana Awards ⭐ 2nd Place in Science Fiction -- 2018 Annual Medley Awards

Balancing Life And Death With Love

12 parts Complete Mature

Macha's childhood wasn't a good one, nor is anybody's life after The Fallout. Her it mainly consisted of the death of her mother, the wicked turn of her father and older sister, and rape that infested her after father's turn. Her move from Ireland to a small American village with her older brother, Seán aka Jacksepticeye, made it a hell of a lot simpler, even though all she learned since the move was battle combos, in which she excelled. Her father wants either her dead or her locked away, but he can't find her. The reason? The village she lives in is off the radar from the headquarters her father, The Raven, has set up. It's abandoned to them. The only catch to Macha is that she special abilities, abilities that could potentially disrupt or even destroy what her father has built, the fear he has created. Along the way, she develops a close-knit relationship with the boys from Crown The Empire, Brandon's being the most significant, him being the polar opposite (abilities and what not).
