Using powers can age you, kill you...or drive you mad.
Ian Sharp knows none of this when his destructive powers wreck his house near Denver and nearly kill his sister...because no one knows powers exist.
He's forced on the run the day before graduation as the ruthless Hunters of a vicious shadow government track him down. Soon, he finds himself in a hidden, underground city built by giants before the great flood. A city full of people with special abilities. But Ian is drawn to the only one without powers-Abby Pierce.
Just when the two are growing closer, a Hunter spy frames Ian for murder, getting him exiled. Ian must risk his sanity and depend on an insane teleporting monk to help him find the city again before Abby falls victim to cold-blooded murder.
-----
The science, archaeology, theology, and history in the Winter's Edge series are real, except in regard to the direct backstory of the two fictitious underground city. Little-known truths about the world are exposed in the book series with solid, irrefutable evidence from mainstream scientific researchers. Book one gives the readers one large dose of this, but the future novels in the series will truly leave the readers speechless.
Told through the eyes of Ian Sharp and Abby Pierce, Winter's Edge is an action adventure urban fantasy for teens and adults alike. Whether it's mystery, twists, a love story, deep philosophical discussion, humor, or loads of tension you're seeking, Winter's Edge delivers it all in a serious yet sometimes hilarious package.

Days of Darkness: Winter's Rage
Three years have passed since the brutal showdown between Damien and Dante, and for the first time in half a decade, peace has settled over Chicago and the rest of the world. The chaos that once defined daily life has begun to fade as nations rebuild and governments rise once again from the ashes of collapse. Streets once filled with ruin now hum with the cautious optimism of people daring to believe in a better tomorrow. The scars of war remain visible, but they serve as reminders of resilience and the hard-fought struggle to restore order in a world that had fallen into darkness. Yet victory came at a heavy price. Though Dante was defeated, the heroes who fought to save humanity did not emerge unscathed. Cyris's death left an irreplaceable void among the Pack, while Damien's mysterious disappearance has haunted those who survived. In his absence, Christian, Diamond, and Nadia have taken it upon themselves to guide others toward recovery, working tirelessly to rebuild a sense of normalcy in the city they once fought to protect. But their fragile peace shatters when a wave of powerful earthquakes tears through Chicago, followed by the sudden emergence of a shadowy army that floods the streets. The Pack is forced to reunite and face a new threat that may be far more sinister than anything they've encountered before. Days of Darkness: Winter's Rage is a story of endurance, loyalty, and rediscovery set against the backdrop of a world teetering between rebirth and ruin. As the Pack uncovers the truth behind the quakes and the invading force, they find themselves drawn into a conflict that transcends time and dimension. Old alliances will be tested, buried secrets will rise, and the line between past and future will blur. In the midst of it all, they must confront what it truly means to fight for freedom-and for family-when the world itself begins to fracture once more.Complete![Her Tyrant Alpha [EXCERPT]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/279080298-256-k195492.jpg)
Her Tyrant Alpha [EXCERPT]
*Available in full on Radish or Patreon!* She was born in fire. He was forged in ice. The clash will scorch them both. After a disease wipes out all human life on earth, the world is left to the werewolves. As packs organize and claim territory, an opportunity arises to collect information from a Viking pack headed by the dangerous alpha, Nolan Frosaker. Ashelin jumps at the chance to go undercover, but only partly because she wants to contribute to the mission. The Viking King intrigues her, and she has unique talents that will get her close to him. What she doesn't anticipate is Nolan's own unique talents, and how quickly she desires to be completely at his mercy. Warnings: This story is rated mature for a reason. Rated NC-17 for very intense bdsm power play in an environment that wouldn't be safe if it were humans not in fiction. NOTE: This story takes place in the Bloodlines universe, but can be read as a standalone. If you're curious about the apocalypse and want more of Ashelin and her previous pack, check out Bloodlines Vol. 1 for the first entry in that series and info on reading the rest!Complete
The Rule Of Elites
She was a girl ensnared by secrets and scars. He was a boy forged from power and frost. When an enigma collides with an Elite, they must either heal or descend into their own hell to survive. --- Seventeen-year-old Elaine Winters has one goal: to endure the torment of her bullies and ignore the new student who seems utterly out of place in their small town and public school. Alexander White is a boy she needs to stay away from-stunningly handsome, immensely rich, and dangerously cold. He is privileged beyond any normal measure. Catching his attention was a chance mistake. His relentless pursuit of her friendship, an anomaly. And when it turns into something deeper, it becomes the ultimate disaster in the making. But when buried secrets emerge from their caskets, Winter finds herself pulled into his world of city lights, power, mind games, and the elite atmosphere of boarding school. Soon, everything she thought she knew about the boy from her town is turned upside down. He becomes everything her heart dreads-and a danger her mind warns her of. She is his obsession, and he is her curse. Every belief is tested, but none of them is bound to win against the rule of Elites. A world where truth is what they make it. ◾ REVIEWS It is one of the best book I've ever read.

Run with the Devil (SAMPLE)
A stolen life. A forbidden romance. An age-gap MM love story where desire becomes the most dangerous risk of all. Tommy // I didn't mean to end up here-scraping by, following in my deadbeat dad's footsteps, chasing a version of myself that doesn't feel real anymore. Then Adrian Ashford showed up, all control and calm danger, and suddenly I couldn't tell if I was being saved or swallowed whole. He offers me work, a purpose, a way out of the trailer park. But every time he looks at me like that, I forget what I'm running from. Adrian // I built my life on discipline, on following rules that keep everything in order. But Tommy tests every one of them. He's reckless, defiant, and too damn alive for the world I live in. The more I try to keep him at a distance, the more I find myself breaking the one rule the boss gave me: don't touch him. 📖 Part of the Road to Us Collection The Road to Us Collection is a series of interconnected standalone queer romances about friendship, found family, and falling in love against the odds.

Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Complete

Supernatural

Jane |18+| ✔️
When twenty-year-old Jane Albright arrives at the unwelcome conclusion that her life is absolutely aimless, mundane, and downright futile, she makes a rash decision to leave all she's ever known, along with her human zone, in search of a fresh start. Even being incredibly thorough, meticulous and highly wary when mapping out her road trip to the north, the astute woman unknowingly crosses into Blood Moon Territory when she accidentally runs into car trouble and the Alpha himself. Everything Jane has been taught since the ripe age of understanding the tier of her hierarchy and the superior race is either tested or outright disputed, landing her deeper into a world she never wanted to be part of. She constantly fights for her life and freedom while being played and manipulated to the point she teeters on this side of insanity. - Jane - is not your typical human who meets and falls in love with the Alpha kind of read. It's much darker, with pockets of humour and sheer sorrow. The struggle between her heart and mind is a constant brutal battle as she tries to navigate the unrelenting debacle situation she finds herself in. - Jane is a dystopian/paranormal/fictional read chock-full of twists and turns, humour and horror - oh, and a good dash of (throat clear) explicit scenes. Warning: Jane is intended for MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY |18+|. Please be advised there are many sensitive topics present throughout the story, including but not limited to: descriptive violence, strong profanity, and graphic sex scenes.
