dystopia fantasy fiction romance young-adult

The world was long ago split in two. The Above, bathed in sunlight and home to the Flawless. The Below, far underground where the Imperfects are forced to live in darkness. 

Milana Stonewall has spent her entire life down in the Below, it's the only life she's ever known. Found as a newborn in the lift that connects the two worlds, she's never known where she's truly come from. 

But when her guardian, her best friend Pip's older brother, is taken from them for a crime they know he didn't commit, both Milana and Pip must use all the courage they have to leave behind the world they understand and venture into the unknown Above to rescue him. 

But then they discover that the new world they've entered comes with a lot of new answers, both about Milana's past and every Imperfect's future. 

The two world's boundaries start to blur as both Flawless and Imperfect's unite against a common enemy, but it may just be too late...All Rights Reserved

Star-crossed (Dynasty: Book 1) by RiyaSamaddar

Orion Scatterstar X is a highly intelligent boy of seventeen with peculiar natural green hair and oddly bright purple eyes... and he's on the run with his mother. The only problem...? He has no idea as to why it is this way. His only clue is that it's all somehow related to his absentee father who is as big of a enigma to him as are the peculiar, mostly illegal and sometimes downright appalling and borderline psychotic 'lessons' his mother keeps subjecting him to. He hides in plain sight by pretending to be normal or average with a different name and appearance in every new place they move to within just a few months as per his mother's rules but as he's gotten older, he's come to think about it all to be nothing more than his mother's paranoia as it's significantly becomes harder and harder to play this game. So, at the verge of turning eighteen and graduating, he finally decides to put his foot down and run far away from all this craziness so that he can finally be free and be who he truly is and have a normal life... like he's always wished. But as the saying goes, 'be careful what you wish for.' He soon finds that his mother's paranoia was not unreasonable. When an unexpected stranger shows up as a substitute teacher at his new school, his entire existence flips upside-down. Truths about who and what he really is, are finally out but now he has to navigate a treacherous and dangerous path where friendship and loyalty are illusions, good is bad and up is down to save himself and everyone else as a prince's life is never simple, especially during war. Not to mention a war against his very own psychotic paternal family. Amidst deception, being constantly hunted and discovering immeasurable power within himself, holding on to his humanity seems harder and harder for his already shaky sense of morals, making him lose bits of himself in the process. Can he survive his new reality unscathed or will it be his undoing?

A Dance with Darkness and Light: Re-Origination by OGCarrel

Wordcount: 88.33K A bully in school, a parasite as a grown-up. The shadow of a man. A shunned member of society. Such are the descriptions given if one asked about a certain young man, but he couldn't care less. All that mattered to him was his mission, vengeance. Nothing could stop him in his tracks until one day his parents died. Though even that lasted only until the emptiness overcame him once again. At the beginning of his mission, there were five torches lighting his path, now, even the last one ceased at the flicker of its final light. After that, in an effort to join her, he also extinguished his light. Yet fate is a fickle mistress, and you should be careful what you wish for...because the Lord of the underworld seemed determined to send him into a different world. With his protest ignored he was swiftly dropped into the body of a recently deceased prince. Plunged into the seat of a kingdom, overflowing with intrigue and schemes. In a world, as our "prince" will soon learn, vastly different from Earth. Now known as the fourth prince of Ralun, Bazuul Ylvazad, he has to adjust and learn quickly if he wishes to survive. Something he himself isn't quite sure of. The question though is, did he really have another option? Obviously death didn't work. ~~~ Ytolan map: https://imgur.com/zwmHOb8 Seven Kingdoms map: https://imgur.com/a/CIunFJd www.instagram.com/og_carrel www.patreon.com/og_carrel

Clackers by Arundel2000

There is nothing as powerful in life as your first love. When this happens after clacking to a strange new world where people reverse age-let's say it's complicated. Demalynn is a seventeen-year-old girl from a small town who one day hears a loud 'clack' and is transported to the planet Saffire. Naked. Then things really get weird. No child has ever been born on Saffire; clackers make up the entire population. All people who clack under thirty reverse age: each year they grow younger. As an awkward teenager plagued by panic attacks who dabbles in comedy, Demalynn just wants to go home to be re-united with her family. Citizens over thirty grow old and are forced to mine the mineral that powers giant cooling stations to keep the planet habitable. Citizens solve disputes with gladiatorial combat. The prophesy of The Coming In Saffire's time of greatest need, a child will be born to a special woman, the Gravidarum. The child, who has no father of this planet, will be known as the Unum, a child to lead Saffire. The Helper will battle to keep the Gravidarum safe until the Unum is born. The people of Saffire have been waiting to see The Coming fulfilled. Demalynn assembles a group of clackers to get her home, the most important of which is a fellow clacker: eighteen-year-old Aiden. It is not long before Jago, the ruler of Saffire, learns that a woman on Saffire is pregnant and he unleashes all his power to prevent the birth. Jago will not give up power. Demalynn is surprised to find out she is the Helper, but is astounded to learn the identity of the Gravidarum. Demalynn must battle to stay alive and fumbles towards the realization that Aiden is much more than a close friend. She is certain, with the certainty that only a seventeen-year-old can possess, that Aiden is her only true love. Demalynn is desperate to find a way back home until she must make a choice: stay with Aiden on Saffire or go back home and re-unite her family. There's no place like home.

Pana: Flight from the Past by drpedromd

What happens when you try to tell your story, but no one is willing to listen to you? You run. Thousands of years before, the cataclysm destroyed the world. In a barrage of miniature apocalypses manufactured by the most powerful government in the world, the moon was torn apart, ice sheets expanded from the north, entire communities were systematically poisoned, the rainforests were burned. Thousands of years before that, magical stones with the ability to protect life were created and scattered throughout civilization. Now, Pana and their friend, the timid yet trustworthy dragon Waveskimmer, find one of those stones. Pana has only ever known the frozen northern village they were born in, but when they are forced to flee their home after an unfortunate misunderstanding, they discover that the world is bigger than they could have imagined, and that there are other pockets of survivors out there who are all facing their own hardships. Together with Waveskimmer, they begin traveling the world, meet new people, and try their best to undo the mistakes of the past. But when their own past catches up with them, the fate of the world is thrown into jeopardy once more.

Sentilia by ChristineParentBooks

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.

"I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.
