"Glass shattered, the pavement shook, screams pierced the dust filled air. And all I could think was, he found me."

In the distant future after the world wars decimated the earth's population, life in one corner of the world has broken into three sectors. The remaining rich and powerful live in Urbanus, the sole sector with cities and infrastructure still in tact. On the opposite side of the continent, Amaranthus is home to a remote grouping of peaceful settlements. And in between the two, Abditory; the most dangerous sector of all. 

All out battles rage, and Bexley Brooks is thrust out of her hiding place as an old ally, and an old enemy, come crashing back into her life.

With loved ones separated and old wounds ripped opened, can Bexley survive a nearly impossible journey through a war zone in order to protect everything she holds dear? Or will a legendary weapon be unleashed upon the world once more?

THE REASONS // Bellamy Blake - The 100 [book 3; inproces] by KylieRutledge17
68 parts Ongoing Mature
Book III: The Reasons - when the world ends, what's left to live for Three months have passed since the tragedy at Mount Weather, but the scars it left behind are still raw, still bleeding beneath the surface. The cost of survival is no longer measured in lives lost - but in souls shattered. Peace was promised, yet all they've found is silence where laughter used to be, tension where unity once stood. And for Madison, the silence has become deafening. The abuse she thought she left behind has only grown darker, more consuming. Every bruise hidden beneath layers of clothing, every glance over her shoulder, is a reminder that her war never really ended. She's been forced to run. Alone in the wilderness, hunted by those who want to take her power, she must find a way to survive with nothing but her instincts, her pain, and the crushing weight of guilt. All around her, the world teeters on the edge of collapse. A.L.I.E has risen from the shadows of the old world, a digital ghost with a god complex, whispering promises of peace through control, order through annihilation. The lines between right and wrong blur as survival grows more brutal, and each of them must face their own demons while trying to hold onto the last pieces of their humanity. Loyalties will be tested. Friendships will fracture. And love, in the face of such relentless loss, will be both a refuge and a battlefield. For Madison, the journey ahead is not just a fight for survival - it's a reckoning. Her addiction claws at her like a second skin, her guilt threatens to consume her from within. She is broken. But the fate of the human race may rest in her hands. And in the end, she must answer the hardest question of all: Can someone so damaged be the one to save them all?

Before she was the hunted, she was the heir. Aria was born with a crown on her head and a cage around her ribs. As the daughter of the Serpent House, her life was a blueprint of bloodlines and duty: Secure Nexus mates from within the House. Awaken the Gift buried in her bones. Preserve the legacy at any cost. But Aria was never made to follow. And fate doesn't care for tradition. Her heart already belonged to the one man she was forbidden to love - her brother's best friend. And when her Gift finally stirred, it wasn't the weapon her family had waited for. It was quiet. Unexpected. A power they barely acknowledged - and one she was never meant to wield. Torn between the life she was born into and the power awakening inside her, Aria makes a single, irreversible choice. One that fractures her family, shatters her destiny, and lights a fuse beneath everything she thought she understood. Rebellion is no longer a rumor. Enemies wear familiar faces. And the most dangerous secrets are the ones written in her own blood. This is not a love story. It's the story of what love ruins - and what rises from the wreckage. _______ What to Expect: Unbound - The Awakening is a why-choose prequel: Aria's heart won't be claimed by just one. 🔥 Smut? Yes - but not right away. This one burns slow and deep. 🖤 Expect tension, heartbreak, soft touches, sharp edges, and impossible choices. ⚠️ Not all of her Nexus mates appear in this book. But the storm begins here.

A forgotten legacy. A flame reborn. A crown that could save-or shatter-two worlds. Kalista Amara Rowan has always felt like an outsider-haunted by dreams that don't belong to her, drawn to flames that never burn her, and shadowed by a birthmark she can't explain. At sixteen, she's just trying to survive high school in Oregon and silence the magic stirring beneath her skin. But when a violent storm unearths a hidden journal in her family's cellar- and awakens something ancient in her blood-Kalista's life ignites. Torn from the world she knows and thrust into a realm of elemental power, soul-bound warriors, and a crumbling crown, she discovers the truth: She is the reincarnated High Priestess Princess of Sahlara, the Flamebearer of the Ethereal Universe... and she's being hunted by the very enemy who destroyed her in a past life. Now, as two worlds teeter on the edge of war, Kalista must uncover the secrets of her legacy, master the fire within, and face the boy sworn to protect her-even if loving him could destroy them both. But the deeper she dives into her forgotten past, the more one truth becomes impossible to ignore: She didn't just die once to save the realm. She might have to do it again. Daughter of the Flame is the breathtaking first book in The Ethereal Crown series sweeping YA fantasy saga of elemental magic, ancestral power, forbidden love, and a heroine caught between destiny and defiance. Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, An Ember in the Ashes, and The Cruel Prince.

Legend has it, if you stand at the edge of the cliff at the crack of dawn holding a candle and your most beloved possession, you can open a doorway between dimensions. So when Calista Davis turns a deaf ear to every mock she's gotten from the people of Erini, and stands at the edge of the cliff holding a candle and her mother's pendant, she's not sure if she can leave or something else comes through. Suddenly, her ever so lonely life isn't lonely anymore as a chiseled face with a pair of scintillating red eyes, who claims to be the King of the planet Vakenes, appears out of nowhere. Her boring days take a dramatic turn and soon she's visiting planets she'd never heard the names of. In addition, she gets surrounded by troops of vicious demons, blood curses, and the threats of the demon protector, who wants her dead. ___ FIRST PLACE in the Clover Awards FIRST PLACE in the Flower Awards SECOND PLACE in the Regal Awards ____ Reader's Review: "YOU'RE MEANING TO TELL ME YOU AREN'T PUBLISHED?

⸻ Beneath the Crown In a kingdom where duty is shackles and power is a curse, Aurelia Hayse was born to wear the crown-or at least, to marry the man who would. But before fate could seal her in a gilded cage, she vanished. Now, under the name Annie Harper, she hides in the chaos of the Aberrant Trials, where outcasts and fighters with unnatural abilities battle for survival. She never planned to stay. She never planned to care. But when she crosses paths with Christian Hunter-a cunning combatant with the rare ability to steal the powers of others-her carefully built disguise begins to crack. As the Trials push them to the edge, secrets unravel, enemies close in, and the past she abandoned refuses to stay buried. Because Annie isn't the only one running from the crown. And in the end, there may be no escape from the fate written in blood. The only way to survive is to fight. The only way to win is to become the monster they fear. ⸻ [COMPLETED] [DUAL POV]
