In the ashes of a godless country rose New Prylea, a land founded on the morals and justice system of an all-loving deity named Deo. The theocentric government requires perfect obedience of New Prylean citizens, lest they all be severely and righteously punished.
 
Sixteen-year-old Eve Rivers lives a quiet life as a model New Prylean citizen. She respects her mother, obeys her father, leads flawless examples for her siblings, and above all, never questions the laws of her country.
 
But when Eve meets a mysterious stranger, her carefully-structured world begins to crumble. Daily life and societal expectations suddenly seem twisted and cruel, and her country's god morphs from merciful to bloodthirsty. Eve must make a choice: continue as a rule-abiding citizen and survive, or rebel...and risk losing everything.All Rights Reserved

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

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.

The Kingdom in the Trees by Princess_Reads100

In the society of Giovane, youth and perfection are not just valued-they're mandated. At 18, every citizen must marry their predetermined partner, of opposite gender, and ensure the continuation of a new, youthful generation. The rules are simple: - Personal romantic relationships before marriage are prohibited. - Arrive at the Hall of 18 before the time you were born on your 18th birthday. - Any attempt to flee or evade the marriage is strictly prohibited. - Bear children to sustain the societal cycle. However, the darker truth remains unspoken: once all their children are married off, the parents are erased from society, a reality to which children are conditioned to accept from a young age. For Arya Gold, the promise of this ritual was once a distant fantasy. But as her 18th birthday approaches, she faces the harsh reality of a loveless marriage and a future without her family. Fleeing from her fate, Arya discovers a hidden kingdom nestled in the trees, ruled by an enigmatic leader known as the King. In this secret world, she finds refuge-and a potentially dangerous new attraction. As Arya navigates her growing feelings and this new world, she must grapple with her past and embrace the hope of a future she never thought possible.

Kadota (Love Trilogy) by Lisa_Evette

In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories. My scientist father hailed my uniqueness as a miracle, but my life was far from ordinary. To the village, I was just an oddity, a walking puzzle with missing pieces. My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out. It was my turn to face the unknown with a hidden purpose - to locate my lost father who was sent there years ago.

Song of Ashes by MinaParkes

A jealous, vengeful goddess. A ruined land. A woman alone, desperate to survive. When the goddess Kogoren was betrayed by one of her worshipers, she took out her rage on her realm. In her righteous anger, she shattered the continent, raised razor-sharp mountains from the earth, and turned clear streams into burning rivers of molten stone. Fire rained from the sky and ashes blanketed cities and fields. The eruption of the Queen's Crest, Kogoren's holy mountain, killed every one of her priests. The world ended that day. Kogoren's people prayed. They wept. And when no help nor mercy came, they were lost. The Cataclysm was many years ago, before Sarka was born. The broken land and the hopeless people who survived it are all Sarka has ever known. No one speaks of the goddess now; her dark legacy is a shadow over the starved realm that still bears her name, a place where the best one can hope for is to survive the day. One day, a brush with death grants Sarka tragic clarity: if she stays in Kogoren, she will live a half-life punctuated with danger, hunger, and pain. What if there is a world out there beyond the reach of the goddess who left her children to die? Cover by @Abyss-of-Crazy
