With nowhere to go, she is sent to the local military academy where she is trained to become a member of the elite secret police. While there, she becomes a pawn in Roger's struggle for military dominance and Chris's rebellion to overthrow the military regime. She supposedly holds a secret that will change the face of the soldier, but, unfortunately, she doesn't know what that secret is. Her only desire is to find the truth of her existence, and finds herself thrust into a realm where the truth of her past and present is more horrific than she ever imagined.Complete
Out of the Shadows
Alexandra Dalton lives in a crumbling post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by The Enforcement and terrorized by the Legacies, power-wielding humans corrupted by their abilities. But when a deadly encounter thrusts her into the heart of a war for humanity's survival, secrets of her father's past begin to surface, forcing her to choose: fight for the light or be consumed by the darkness. In a world where entire cities can burn in minutes, and nobody can truly be trusted, can she protect her mother and sister-and uncover the truth before it's too late? Excerpt: "Dad?" My voice was no more than a whisper. The tendril caught the woman just as she was about to hit the ground, and in one harsh movement, it tugged her into the darkness. The blackness engulfed her screams, swallowing them completely. I could feel my father pulling on my wrist. His grip was so tight it hurt. Everywhere around me, people were dying. Their shrieks echoed in my ears, and I couldn't seem to move. My hands started to shake as I looked toward the dark sky. The silhouettes of bodies in the air, lit eerily by the theme park's neon colors, littered the sky like stars. This wasn't just chaos-it was the end of everything we knew. Chapters released weekly!

POWER. SECRETS. MAGIC. Two girls that have the power to rule over all. A conspiracy that threatens everything they ever thought they knew. And a deadly fight over undeniable power. Aurora Celeste - Crown Princess and next in line to the throne - has spent her whole life away from her missing mother. She has longed for the day they will reunite, but with that comes a cost she had never bargained for. The long-awaited reunion brings unexpected surprises - like a twin sister called Elara she knew nothing about, and magic that dances at her fingertips - but it also unlocks secrets that the King had tried to protect his daughter from. But when all those secrets put her own life in danger, as well as others', her parents have to make the difficult decision to stop shielding her and let her know the buried truths haunting them. Doing so, however, opens Aurora and Elara up to an entirely new world - one that isn't always so good. The price for happiness might be far higher than the girls can afford, and they may pay a cost they will never recover from.

Ruthless Loyalty - A Cobra Kai fanfiction
Aurora has never lived in the light. Raised in a world where loyalty is currency and power decides survival, she learned early that trust is a liability - and weakness is unforgivable. Trained to fight, to obey, to endure, Aurora wasn't shaped for freedom. She was forged to be useful. For years, she followed the path laid out for her, rising through an elite circle where secrets are sharper than blades and allegiance can turn fatal in an instant. Control was her armour. Discipline her shield. And believing in the rules was the only way to stay alive. Until everything breaks. A single presence disrupts the balance she's spent her life perfecting - dragging doubt and danger into her carefully controlled world. As Aurora reels from a painful fracture in her life and begins to unravel the truth behind the newcomer, she discovers that escape is an illusion. The past she tried to outrun is closer than she ever imagined. Because in a world built on shadows, nothing is ever truly left behind. Secrets resurface. Loyalties fracture. And the forces that made Aurora who she is are not ready to let her go. In a game of power, betrayal, and survival, Aurora must decide what she's willing to lose - and who she's willing to become - when the past comes back to collect its debt. ----- All rights go to the writers of the Cobra Kai series and everybody involved.

The Blood Between Us
The elves arrived a decade ago, bringing rations and magic to aid in the war. But whispers spread of a deeper purpose-of something, or someone, they were searching for. A nameless orphan girl, raised as human, has only ever known hunger and hardship. But when a single drop of blood reveals her true identity, her world is shattered. Torn from the only life she's ever known, she is thrust into an elegant and foreign world. Elven society demands she become one of them-to walk, speak, and think as they do. But she is still the girl who fought for scraps on the streets, still the child who flinches at a raised hand, still the survivor who trusts no one. Even her own mother, who mourned her death, is a stranger. As war looms and both sides demand her allegiance, she must find her place in a conflict centuries in the making. But first, she must survive a world that sees her as both its salvation and its greatest threat.
