Awakening - The Last Science #1 by Etzoli

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series. New chapters will be posted on Fridays for as long as it takes to tell the whole story.

Partisan - Book II by azimodo

*COMPLETE* "People don't believe in us anymore. They don't believe that in the end we will do what is right. We can't let them down. We can't let Ben win." Decisions made on top of the lonely, wind-swept cliff of Lethinor reverberate around the five kingdoms as war begins in earnest. This is a sequel to Paragon, it's my very, very, very strong recommendation you read it first, otherwise you will be totally lost. I am not joking. If your interest is piqued, here's a quick blurb for Paragon: _____________________ There are whispers across the kingdoms that the Paragon, that strangely gifted person who can wield all four Skills, has been found. They're wrong, of course. No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. _____________________ You can read Paragon here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/95374969-paragon Highest ranking: #86 in Fantasy 2/10/2018 WIP Cover art and written work by Azi. Please note: violence, sexual themes, and coarse language will appear in Partisan.

Whispers of the Crimson Shadow by that_wittywriter

Ever wondered what hides in the shadows of the quietest minds? In a small, unsuspecting town, people start disappearing-first one, then another. At first, it seems random, but every victim has something in common. Each carries a secret so dark, it could ruin their lives... if they were still alive. Meet Eren. The charming barista who remembers your favorite coffee order. The polite neighbor who waters your plants when you're away. The guy everyone trusts. But behind his warm smile is a mind that thrives on chaos and blood-a predator hiding in plain sight. As Detective Mira Lane digs deeper into the cases, her gut tells her there's more to these murders than meets the eye. But how do you catch a killer who knows how to blend in so perfectly? Someone who could be the person you'd least suspect? Dark, twisted, and chillingly personal, "Whispers of the Crimson Shadow" will make you question the faces you trust and the secrets you keep. Care to step into the mind of a monster?
