☆ AVAILABLE FROM AMAZON ☆ ↳ DETAILS ON MY AUTHOR'S WEBSITE [ 𝙖 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙-𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙖 ] ❝ Some pasts are better left buried. ❞ ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The only thing that lazy liberal arts graduate Maya García can find any purpose in, is video games and her part time position at the Mexican Society of Archaeology. Since she was born, she has had the strange ability to sense buried things. Cursed to, she would say. From lost keys buried by overexcited dogs to dinosaur bones from the Jurassic period, Maya can find anything, anytime. An abrupt invitation to a potential site near Aztec ruins then pulls Maya to Isla Cozumel, just off of the coast of the mainland. But there's something off about the eerie vegetation and crumbled temples. Something sinister, festering and impatient. The ancient warning texts are enough to unnerve her. Worse, the jade snake that haunts her dreams has begun to leak into the real world. For the first time, Maya has found something that she shouldn't have. [ WORD COUNT : ~ 21 000 ] ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Where mysterious magic waits for a curse to awaken, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘺 meets 𝘛𝘰𝘮𝘣 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳. ____________________________________ Copyright © 2020 Stacey Willis, Ear to the Serpent.

The Earth is dying, yet humanity survives. Pollution and radiation run rampant on the surface. The government rations food and clean air for everyone. The glass domes provide some sense of security, but they are only for the rich who can afford the astronomical price of providing precious clean air to a whole city. Nym and her family live outside the dome when the disease breaks out. Spreading through the Minor City Shelter and then to Shelter's around other cities, nothing seems capable of stopping it. People are going mad and dying off like flies. There's no cure they can find. They only know one thing. Their last precious resource is going to be the death of them.

Go Against Destiny ✓ by _reichii

★𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐘𝐒 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐊/𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 - 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐍𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀★ Neither of them had total confidence in destiny. Not even when they started to see the invisible red strings that bound people to their soul mates. Not especially when they learned who the other person was at the end of their own thread. University educators, Sky De Vera and JP Nieves, were connected soul mates, but they refused to be controlled by fate. In a battle between chance and choice, would this pair be able to break away from their red string? Or would they fall into destiny's trap that they were desperately trying to avoid? A standalone spin-off of Their Parallel Universe, set six years back. Mature contents: - depiction of child neglect and psychological child abuse in a few flashbacks. - a bit of suggestive scenes and risque language on the last chapter. No smut and nothing sexually explicit. * Other than those, the whole story is pretty lighthearted. 2024 AMBY AWARD Top Pick for Romance Novellas Padauk Mini Awards Second Place - Best Characters Rose Awards 2023 Third Place - Best Blurb 7x Featured: @SpeculativeFiction (December 2023) @Romance (January 2024) @StoriesUndiscovered (March 2024) @NARomance (April 2024) @APIFantasy (June 2024) @mythandlegend (June 2024) @Fantasy (June 2024)

As the Crow Falls | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

The Turing Test - [Open Novella Contest 2019 Shortlist] by its_artemis_actually

Ronnie Gold only has one dream. Every night for the past two years, flickering images of a bloody battlefield have haunted her sleep, and every night, she's the only survivor. She's never told anyone about it, because combined with the dissociative emotional disorder that renders empathy out of her reach, she'd be labeled dangerous. But amid rising public tensions over an artificial intelligence project she's spearheading, Ronnie's dreams begin to infect her waking life, too. With the visions starting to take on an ominous, almost prophetic quality, Ronnie must sort through the blurred lines of reality before the bloodiest nightmare finally comes true. ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ #RedefineHumanity - An Open Novella Contest Shortlister!
