Celestial Dawn
For eons Miorpeans have traveled the cosmos in search of sentient life that existed harmoniously within the limits of a planets balanced bio-network. They found the inhabitants of Earth to be in violation of this, the most imperative and fundamental of their natural laws. The planet was withered, desolate, and dying. Its environment was collapsing and Humans were deemed responsible for the planets deplorable condition, and eradicated. Now, after centuries of terraforming, a rejuvenated Earth was ready for habitation. A team of Miorpean researchers were tasked with testing the environment of this newly reclaimed world. One member of the team, Mira, made a stunning discovery. Somehow, humans had survived and were thriving in large communal settlements. Mira would come to believe that humans respected the planet and vowed to protect them from the fate the befell their ancestors. A stunning revelation about the origins of these humans would bring her into an intense conflict with a code of ethics and beliefs that has guided the course of her ancestral people since the beginning of time.

Out of reach
In the dark reaches of the galaxy, where stardust weaves forgotten histories and the silence of space hides ancient wars, a soul was torn in two. She was once called **Elara**-a name whispered in prophecy and shadowed by betrayal. She was more than human, more than weapon, more than myth. Her aura, a radiant force unlike any other, had once been the balance between destruction and hope. But the day she died, the galaxy changed forever. Or so they believed. Reborn in a world that had moved on without her, Elara awoke with fractured memories and instincts she could not explain. Beneath the surface of her skin, power surged-wild, untamed, and drawn to something... someone. Across the stars, **Fenix**, a once-proud captain and a haunted warrior, wandered the edge of war and reason. He carried with him a truth no one dared speak: he had loved Elara... and lost her. But the fire that bound them had never died. And now, it burned hotter than ever. Lurking behind it all was **Malrik**-a man driven mad by envy and darkness, hiding in the ruins of legacy and science. He did not just want power. He wanted her. Not for love, but for domination. If he couldn't possess her in life, he would resurrect her as a weapon of his will. As battle lines draw across planets and hearts, and destiny claws its way through time, one truth remains: What's been broken... always finds a way to reunite. Even if it burns the universe down in the process. ---Complete

#1 Dystopian | #1 Survival | #3 Romance Abandoned by her mother in the midst of a war, Olya is caught in the throes of an uprising and captured by an enemy soldier. Only he won't tell her where he is taking her, because according to his people's laws he cannot look at, speak to, or touch a woman. || My eyes rolled open with a click, like the cocking of a gun--armed, dangerous--and for a brief and merciful moment, I remembered nothing. It took long seconds for the ceiling above to shift into focus-flat and smooth, a panel of shiny steel, almost like a mirror but warped. A distorted reflection gazed back at me, a ghostly white girl in dark clothing, colorless eyes and snowflakes for lashes. Had I always looked like that? Long hair and eyes wild? More of an animal than a girl? I supposed I had. ★✩★ ACHERON AWARDS|1ST PLACE| SOUL AWARDS|1ST PLACE| EXTRAORDINARY AWARDS|2nd Place| LITWITS AWARDS|2nd place| MIDNIGHT AWARDS|2nd place| GRAMMAR AWARDS|Finalist| TRIDENTS AWARDS|Runner Up|Complete

The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.
