The World as you know it now. In the year 2324, the States are no more and the World is now controlled by a complete government called Central. Putting screens in their Citizens' arms and creating a test to choose their ideal mate, some people may be able to see why Central is not the best choice for government. 

Meet Anna Robins, a young, seventeen year old Citizen with a dead father and a hard working mother who has to raise four children on her own. Anna was the prime of Citizenship until she was seven, when her father first disappeared. As soon as Anna turned fifteen she created a rebellion in the city that was formerly known as Los Angeles. Creating bombings in Central buildings is her specialty and Central wants her dead. 

Enter Lucas Rivers, an arrogant, handsome Assassin who goes by Luke. Luke is sent to gain information from Anna's rebellion, known as the Cardinal, and then kill her when he gives Central all he knows and all the need. Without a screen, he can follow her easily throughout the day and get to know her.

But what happens when he starts to understand why she fights? Will he be able to kill her? Or will they just wind up killing each other by fighting this much? Read On!

Special Agent Alyssa Caine has been tasked with the most important mission of her life: the assassination of the man who would bring about the end of the world. The only problem? He is already dead. A minor issue that is resolved in the year 2157 when a renegade group of scientists develops a device that allows to jump through time. They recruit the former special agent to send her back fifty years, to take just one man out of the equation, a minimal change with a predicted maximal effect on the fate of the world, and prevent a devastating war that has driven the last surviving humans to live in decrepit underground bunkers. Every action has a consequence. Alyssa is humanity's last hope, and her actions will determine the fate of the whole world. She is willing to sacrifice everything for a better future. But she soon realizes that the impact of her actions might be beyond her control, and beyond all predictions. _____ Highest Rankings: #16 in Science [06.02.2019] #36 in Dystopia [06.02.2019] #65 in FemaleProtagonist [01.02.2019] #71 in TimeTravel [06.02.2019] #1 in Paradox [28.02.2019] #1 in ONC2019 [01.02.2019] #3 in OpenNovellaContest2019 [28.02.2019] This is my entry for the ONC 2019! At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)

Gideon Saint is dying for something exciting to happen in his life. With his love of history, he figures an internship at the museum has to be a good start, right? Anything is better than listening to his parents argue or sitting alone in his room doing research no one but him seems to care about. A chance encounter with a magical ring leaves him transported to an alternate version of ancient Wales, or as it was sometimes called, Cambria. 1432 Wales, to be exact. Here magic is the most powerful weapon of all as kings vie for power. Good thing Gideon's teleportation from the present has also left him with the ability to use magic, and he's quickly regarded as a powerful wizard. In this timeline, Wales maintained it's independence, but that's about to change. Henry V is on the throne of the England, and the greatest warrior king England has ever had has set his sights on Wales. Can Gideon help save his newfound friends and master his new powers, while living a double life in the 21st century? Ahem, living people die, dying people live, Henry V is here and he's awesome despite being the main antagonist, everybody is vaguely gay, swords are described in loving detail, people are not, lovely platonic friendships, did we mention swords? Yes, you may learn something about history, but that's a risk you'll have to take. Basically, think of this as a Percy Jackson type of adventure, but it's historical fiction instead of Greek gods. The narrator is 15 and the major supporting characters are 14, 17, and 19. That said, there's nothing in the way of content that's inappropriate for a younger reader. As always if you're not here to go on a fun little adventure find a different story. Trigger/Content: very mild language, some magic violence, fantasy violence. Self-harm is briefly discussed. Adoption issues are discussed as well as brief scenes of a abusive family. Characters briefly mention crushes and or dating, no real innuendos.

As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind.

Things used to be so simple, y'know? Just study hard enough and get my major all done so I can graduate, make friends and connections that'll last a life time, and have a stable job to support yourself. But no. All that had to get thrown out the window in like a few days. For some reason, whenever I die, I can come back to life some time before I die. Yeah, it sounds nice and all, but it's a little hard when people think you fought off twenty armed gunmen all by yourself without a single scratch. Next thing you know, you're working for the government as an assassin. Life sure does throws a whole lot of curveballs at you, huh?
