Hazlynn Shiagila was never born a normal child. Throughout school, hanging out with her friend, and having family time, there was always something that she felt was off about her. As if she didn't quite fit in. As if she wasn't quite right.
The world is about to end. Its governments are failing, its people are afraid, and the self-proclaimed Emperor Olc Thyrne has now begun to terrorise the streets. No one is safe. And they are searching for something. Something powerful. Something that could bring more power to the Emperor until there is no one left, but those pesky bugs beneath his feet. This powerful something is hidden so well inside one human body, that he has massacred thousands of bodies to find it. He has now found Hazlynn. And he thinks that he has finally found the One; she is brought into the depths of her home city, now called Outpost 23, where the Emperor's 'Blood Watch' begin their search. What they find is a girl that can undertake all of their torturings, but is not showing the signs they need.
When Hazlynn escapes the Enclave, with the help of an old ally she did not know she had, eighteen months later, what she finds is ruin. She finds a world so changed that she doesn't know where she is. And she finds a battle she needs to fight in, to protect what is left of her home.
Will Hazlynn be able to find allies in a place so different? Will she be able to battle through her scars, ones that may not be seen, but felt? Will she find a way through this new foreign world, and defeat the enemies she has no motivation to defeat, before it's too late?
Or will her scars reopen and lead her, and the world as she knows it, to its knees?

Cold Devotion | ✔️
Rose Waterstone, daughter of the lead commander, is sent to the facility at the ripe age of seventeen. She was sent for the same reason as everyone else - to prepare for the threat of war between sectors. She was more than willing to get away from her poor excuse of a father, ready to take on the real world - or at least she thought she was. Upon her arrival at the facility she can't help but catch the eye of the facility leader's son, Colton Grey. He was your typical broody, dark haired boy but he seemed to strike a nerve with Rose. He was intrigued by her but nothing but hatred seemed to fuel their actions towards each other. They couldn't stand each other, for what reason they did not know. Maybe it was because she was so stubborn? Or maybe it was because he thought that he had some kind of claim on her that excused the way he treated her? A new threat arises, rebels.

They are both forced to work together, to help each other take down the rebels but how when they both despise each other with every fibre of their being? How when their resentment for each other runs so deeply? Colton hates Rose but won't let anyone lay a finger on her. Rose hates Colton but won't walk away.Complete

Marked
Four unmarked survivors. One totalitarian government. A fight to keep their humanity intact. 100 years into the future, the E-91 virus has thrust the world into chaos. For Rachel Wilson, survival hasn't come easy. For the last fifteen years, she's lived in the wilderness, just out of reach of the Council of Nations. Until one day, poachers--the section of law enforcement tasked with hunting the Unmarked--raid her home and she is forced to go on the run. Weary from the attack, but certainly not broken, she ventures into a dangerous world with only her fiery determination to survive. In what appears to be a stroke of good luck, she is rescued by an underground movement working towards bringing down the capital or die trying. Death over mark, that had always been the mantra. Because the alternative-becoming a mind-controlled soldier to fight the capital's war-was a fate worse than death. ***What other readers are saying about Marked*** "You've done a wonderful job of creating and molding this couple into real people. Now, they practically breathe!" -thebirdwhisperer "This is incredible! I was holding my breath for a second there because everything was so good and the action felt so rea!!!" -titanic123 "I rarely comment as I'm not very good with words.

"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.
