To save their society from falling apart at the hands of their greedy ruler, two of London's youth will go to any and all lengths. 
Tawny Mattingly and her partner-in-crime Bentley Evans are thieves. They've adapted to the injustices of living in the Great Britain of the late 2800s, from the sporadic tax collections to the brutality of the king's men who line the streets. But when a chance meeting with three helpful allies inspires a revolution, the two become dangerously attached to the illusion of a pristine and perfect way of life.  And still, sacrifice after sacrifice is made to no avail. Tawny is left shattered, and so is her nation. 
Adamant, Tawny is caught between continuing the battle and letting her despair consume her. Her odyssey is a difficult one, but she's determined to see it through, to the very end.

The Right to Die ✓ by avadel

| 𝗔𝗺𝗯𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 • 𝟳𝘅 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 | During a revolution to dethrone the corrupt nobility, a street-thief gets taken in by the very people he swore to fight. * * * The Capital tore away everything M'yu had: his family, his town's freedom, and any chance for him to live an honest life. While fat bureaucrats sit in their gleaming city, his people starve and die. Bent on leveling the playing field, he lures a group of Capital Knights to his side of town, ready to steal a tool that could burn their entire society to the ground. But when he saves a Capital girl's life instead, the Knight that M'yu stole from will open a door into the glittering world of courtiers. It's a deal too good for a revolutionary like him to refuse. It won't take long for him to find out, though, that when you start a fire, it doesn't burn just one house to the ground. It burns everything. * * * 𝟮𝘅 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗺𝗯𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱: @ScienceFiction, @magic, @dystopianapocalypse, @WattpadDarkFantasy, @WattpadUrbanFantasy, and more

Of Blood and Duty by WhiteGoldFangs

Wattpad Exclusive! Nearly beaten to death, a man wakes up in a place he does not know. Neither can he remember how he even ended up there. Waking up in the middle of a road he discovers a world of pain only to drift off into unconsciousness again. His body having been crushed and broken beyond his wildest dreams. Falling out of consciousness from the pain, he later wakes up in a bed. A new place he does not know, but being looked after by someone. A woman. Why was he in the care of this beautiful but strange person? How had he ended up in her care? Why had she taken him in and why was she and everyone else so guarded around him? Determined to make his way back home, wherever that may be, the man soon realizes that things are not as easy as he first had thought. Learning to fit in with the people who took him in at the brink of death, he learns that a war is raging between two kingdoms, and which one he belongs to, he cannot remember... if he belongs with to any of them. All he has to remind him of his life before is a sword with a crest of two lions on its pommel... and a woman named Jade who screams for him in his sleep. This is a spin off of The Prince's Choice and Hunted Queen. I recommend reading those two before this one to get the best experience possible!

Unproven by B_L_A_Z_E

SHADOW IS AZH'NAHN, A POWERLESS MAGE born into a culture that prides itself in sharing the earth's powers. When he chooses a life of voluntary exile to preserve his family's honor, Shadow receives a mysterious call to witness the unearthing of kotrakoy, treacherous telepathic beasts with four wings and four rows of teeth. As he watches their unholy resurrection with great horror, kotrakoy open their minds to his and offer a glimpse into what life would be like wielding a mage's powers. As Shadow races to warn his people of the impending threat, he discovers a mysterious Trayki woman hanging from the trees and on the verge of death. Uncertain what to do, Shadow initially hesitates to rescue this woman whose people embrace technology and eschew his culture. As Shadow tends to her glider crash wounds, the earth unites them in a soul bond, a sacred union that gives Shadow an unerring duty to protect and preserve her life. And that duty will be fraught with peril: Trayki troops begin bombing Hiwalani villages and while losses mount, magic evolves and Shadow's people lose their power. The Hiwalani must rely on inexperienced youth to master the new magic and stop enemy attacks. Desperate to save their people, few make any progress at all. Only the outcast azh'nahn seems to understand it - and very few trust his judgment. When Shadow believes he's unlocked the solution, it involves empowering the most deadly kotrakoy and risking the complete annihilation of his people. While his solution sounds reasonable in theory, there is no time to test it - it's UNPROVEN.

Be Alright by amberbrielle

[completed] "What's wrong? What's wrong is that no matter how hard you try and convince me that I'm what you want, I can't believe you. I see the way you look at him.

Mystic Circuits by lghtnngwzrd

Azura Themia had a choice. Her friend lies comatose in the hospital, and if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't be there. To make things right, she needs to make a new choice; and in a futuristic society where advanced technology and magic coexist, the possibilities are limitless with a mind like hers. However, when a young alchemist Frey Kemi stumbles into Azura's life, she decides to put the stability of her finances, relationships, and personal safety all on the line to rob the man who caused her and her friend so much pain. The right choice is starting to become unclear, but no matter what path she takes Azura is certain of one thing: she will even the score. Whatever it takes. *** This story is a cyberpunk drama, with a heavy focus on dialogue. Everything this story is to me is the characters. There may be sci-fi fantasy fun included, but the center of it all is a story about terribly troubled people who are just trying to feel better about themselves. Each chapter is split into "parts", and each chapter is a bit "slow burn". I am a new writer, and appreciate all feedback! I want to tell a good story, but above everything I want to tell my story. I hope you enjoy reading my work as much as I enjoy sharing the fear, joy, pain, and tenderness of these characters' lives.

The Story of Jane by random_bookworms

Emma Sernine is a key figure in the Lyrell revolution. She's a close friend to the prince and his sister. And she's a strong minded duchess who worked through many nights to get to where she is now. This is the story of the girl who stole her spotlight. Jane Wilson wants nothing more than to live happy with her love, but a political issue stands between her white dresses and champagne. Having spent most of her adolescent life digging her father's dukedom out of it's debt ridden grave, she carved a reputation for her parents as irresponsible and money-addicted. But she is far from her father's daydream. Between maintaining a professional peace with her family and managing a failing revolution, her dreams are drifting farther and farther away. Not to mention the threats made to overthrow her position growing each day. If she refuses to concede, she could lose everything. But surrendering, an option growing like a parasite in her mind, could very well mean the downfall of her people. *Shortlisted for The Smoothie Awards 2021 **A/N: I'll be honest this entire book was written just for me. It was a very stressful exam month and I just wanted something stupid that didn't matter if it amounted to nothing. So yeah, don't worry if it doesn't make much sense. It's not meant to.
