A hundred years after a disastrous war destroyed the entire world, only one city has survived under the iron fist of its leader, Russell Ward. His plan has always been simple: to remove anyone who threatens his power and exile them to the wasteland beyond the City walls. The only problem is his daughter, Violet.

After a suspicious murder leaves Russell Ward with unchecked power and the love of Violet’s life, Daniel, exiled to the wasteland beyond the walls, Violet has a decision to make: play the part she’s supposed to and forget about Daniel, or give up her home, her family and her entire life and find him against all odds.

And Violet has never been good at doing what she’s supposed to.

When her first foray into exile territory leaves her trapped in a basement with a wicked drifter named Moss who won’t stop calling her ‘Princess’, Violet knows there’s no turning back. She sets out across the wasteland, chasing Daniel’s phantom into a world built by violent gangs and mysterious wanderers. The only thing this rag-tag world of rejects has in common? Their lives were all destroyed by Violet’s father.

| 𝟳𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 ·|| HUNGER GAMES x CINDER || ONC 2023 Honorable Mention Amidst the escalating unrest between the windborne utopian city of Lighthaven and its seedy, oppressed underbelly Fumedge, the Grand Duke of Lighthaven, Lucius Sextus, comes up with an ingenious solution. To provide much-wanted respite from the brewing conflict, and achieve the apparent-if-temporary unity, he organizes Gaslight Trials - a highly entertaining panem-et-circenses combat event in the Pits. The combatants may use all steam and thaumaturgy powered augmentations at their disposal, and there is only one rule: defeat, or be defeated. The reward for the last one standing? A chance to start their life anew. A brass key to the city of Lighthaven with a luxurious mansion to call their own within, as well as an aeroship to command. When eighteen-year-old Veda Igglesden steps forward to take her timeworn adoptive father's place in the fight, she might as well be signing her death-sentence. With her eyes fully set on the prize, act-first-think-later Veda must harness the power of technology to try and win for her Papa Otto. Decades of breathing in the toxic air of Fumedge did a number on the old inventor's lungs, and being able to live in the air-filtered Lighthaven would sure come in handy right about now. A high-flying adventure full of gadgetry and intrigue; a pleasing blend of steampunk and postapocalyptic. See Veda unravel the mysterious ploy behind the game's organization, and uncover the truth about her secret origins. Can she cope both with the trials of physical and intellectual prowess, as well as with the trials of life itself: those of love, loss and regret? © 2023 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompt 49! Which is (I shan't leave ye hanging :P): "Master the rules of the game until you can play it better than they can." Michael Scott, "The Sorceress" Get ready for steampunkish tinkering,

Book 2 of the Wakeful Wanderer's series. Book 1 is The Wakeful Wanderer's Guide to New New England & Beyond. That's a good place to start. It's available here. The America of our near-future is divided across socio-economic and technological-philosophical lines. The Traditionalists eschew any and all post-human technologies in favor of tangible materials. They uphold strict hierarchical structures based on religion, family, and leadership. They long for the return of the global markets wiped out by a world-shaking disaster called The Great Tide. The Interconnected stand in stark opposition to their ways, living without property, family, or religion, and modifying their bodies with the help of new and invasive technologies. They speak to each other wordlessly, employing a technological telepathy they call 'thexting' to communicate mind to mind, and embrace the gifting economy of Merit to maintain their post-scarcity lifestyles. Marto, the traveling Interconnected historian, has exiled himself to protect the ones he loves from his dark secret. In his absence, Helen, a runaway Traditionalist aristocrat, struggles to find her place among the Interconnected, unwilling to return to her cruel family. Reyleena, the former head of security in the Interconnected town of Reverside, has returned to a life of quiet solitude, broken occasionally by the impositions of The Other, an omnipresent AI, who will not leave her alone. Meanwhile, Barnabas, the Traditionalist leader of New Atlantic, fights to return to his township in the wake of an attack. Nora, his sister, remains in Reverside and must come to terms with her new life in captivity.

Dreambreaker

23 parts Ongoing

Jayde Knight lives in a world where imagination is suppressed and conformity is king. As the daughter of The Regime's Head Executioner, she's expected to follow the rules-no dreams, no creativity, no magic. But something inside her resists. Something that's been haunting her every night with flickers of color and impossible visions. When a mysterious new boy named Wes arrives at her school, Jayde's carefully controlled world begins to unravel. Wes is different. He tells her there's more to life than The Regime's stifling order, more to the dreams she's been secretly having. He introduces her to a forgotten world of creativity, where magic is real and the power of dreams can shape reality itself. But The Regime isn't blind. They know Jayde is different. Her brother Simon, once her ally, has become one of The Regime's enforcers, and he's been sent to hunt down those who defy the system-the Dreamers. As Jayde's powers and feelings for Wes grow, she becomes a threat to the very fabric of the world she's always known. Now, Jayde must choose: conform to the gray, empty life The Regime has laid out for her, or embrace the dangerous magic within her dreams. The choice could cost her everything-including the only family she has left. In a world where disobedience means death, will Jayde risk it all to wake the world from its slumber?
