The Biography of a Biography.

Aphiwe is sick and stuck in bed having just fought for her life. All she got out of it was a stupid book. But the book says: "Do not read this if being alive is the most important thing to you. If greatness is the more honourable cause then still beware."

The book is an autobiography or a man she'd never heard of. A man of her race, the Ufeleyetsimbi who was a warlord in the "Age Of Warlords" who brought her people to greatness. But that's not all it is. 

It's an instruction manual. 

Knowledge is power, but power corrupts. Only time will tell if it corrupts her or saves those around her.All Rights Reserved

A shameless girl who got herself knocked up by an unknown person in her teen years, how disgusting, both you and your bastard son!" He sput scrunching up his face in disgust. "You're just a whore! And you're whoring with him as well!" Atuweni's hand landed across his cheek in a hot slap before she could stop herself as tears streamed down her cheeks. "You have no right! Absolutely no right to talk about me being shameless and disgusting because you're the most disgusting of us both! Dont bother talking about an unknown father because the father is very well known and he's an imbecile because you are the father of my son!" He staggered back shocked as her words sunk their meaning into his brain forcing him to be quiet. Atuweni clapped her hand over her mouth. She hadn't meant for that to come out.

WO/MAN (Arthanaareeshwaram) by rukrish

No! Don't prejudge the story by the cover. (Though this is the most appropriate and best one.) No! You need not like what I am saying. No! You need not agree with me. And ... No! You need not criticise my work. Of course, you can critically analyse my work. But, since I am not rude to any of you, since we don't hold personal grudges against each other, since I am just trying to express my views in a very friendly manner; you too need not be rude to me. If you do not like what I am trying to tell, you can definitely stop reading at that moment. If you want to share something or correct me, you can definitely do it, since I love learning. I humbly accept the truth that I know nothing. But whatever tiny piece of extra work my tiny brain does, I try to put it out in this huge world.

The Caged Princess(Book 1) by MisaBloom97

"If her head wasn't stuck under water she would have wailed and cried. Her body trembling. She had no sense of self. Hardly noticed that the water's temperature had dropped further to a freezing degree. "There was just one thing. One solid thing. That was her tether to the world of living and through which she knew she was not dead. Her ears were pressed against the beating heart of another person." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nadia spends her days with her over protective mother who wants to lock her up in a cage if she could. She goes to school only in the promise that she will act like an invisible wall and not interact with anyone. She has come to accept her life as it is and learns to live with it. Nothing can change her life now. But something does change. Her mundane life is overthrown when two men barge into her house . They make her question everything she knew to be true and challenge all her beliefs. The lands she had grown up in has mysteries she could never have fathomed. Will she be able to survive all the heartbreak and betrayals that threaten to cut her at every step? Or will she give in to despair?

The Peacekeepers: Secret War by Puzzler_23

Christian theologian and philosopher Augustine of Hippo once said, "The purpose of all war is peace". In the world we live in today, this saying is one much too true. The Great War, the Second World War, the Vietnam War... these are all examples of such a catastrophe. Which ever one is made topic for discussion, the results are still the same - millions dead, and if not, suffering the aftermath. Despite all this, the sacrifices weren't in vain, as the necessary peace was kept. However, a war rages on, and this time, it could end the world. Two secret organizations, the Peacekeepers, who makes it its mission to protect the world, and the Southpaw, who's bent on destroying it. Hiroyuki Watanabe, a fellow Peacekeeper, is part of this war. A soldier, one too young. Along with his team of brave souls, the boy endeavors to end this secret war, before it ends humanity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Note: This was and still is my very first story. To elaborate even further, it was also my first time writing anything at all. My original intentions were to test the waters and see how it appeals to any and every reader that comes across it. So having mentioned that, it might not even count as a 'story', it more or less can be looked at as a 'prototype' of one. For any factual inaccuracies or misrepresentation of real-world concepts and ideas, those are on me, and I apologize if ever. I myself am still learning and trying to get the hang of things. On the other hand. This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

Good side of hell by 1BlueRose7

Hi! This is my first book, and I wanted to write a story about "good" and "bad" - but from a different perspective. This book talks a lot about abuse, trauma, mental health, and teen life. It's bittersweet: you'll get plot twists, mystery, action... but also some soft and sweet moments in between. It follows Layla - a girl raised to be a weapon. Her life has never been normal, and now she's sent on her first mission: to protect a boy from a wealthy family. I hope you enjoy it!
