The people have been divided (unevenly) into three cities (Apex, Jarkia and Theld), known as the Triangle. Officer Isaac Wilborn is a high-ranked official in Apex, the largest city. He's also best friends with Valerie Chan, who rules Apex as Chancellor. When rebels attack Apex in an attempt to steal files from the government archives, Isaac's curiosity rises. He must decide if his heart is truly loyal to Apex. After all, we all have a little rebellion inside of us.

Bad Blood by starwarsfan15

Superior by starlightt

Delaney Escott lives in a world where popularity reigns supreme. If you want to be noticed, social status is everything. The government is run by the Superiors: a very exclusive group of individuals who are virtually flawless. They are smarter than us and stronger than us, and to join their ranks is the highest honor. The Superiors pay an annual visit to the top schools in the nation and evaluate the students, choosing one boy and one girl - the most Popular in the school - to go the Capitol and train for Superiority. Delaney thinks that she's the only one indifferent to (and perhaps even suspicious of) the Superiors, until Caleb Payne, the most popular boy in school, approaches her with a request. He has a task for her, one that he believes she is uniquely capable of completing. And as she helps him, Delaney discovers that the government is hiding many secrets - and that the truth of the Superiors is far from what people believe it to be.

Islands of Hope by TheDuckA

The year is 2245 and the Earth is largely controlled by Princips Ltd who have monopolised by slowly buying up different companies. The rich now live in mega cities whilst the poor dwell in slums. Countries have been reassigned as numbers and there are only a few independent states left. The one thing you do not do is cross Princips Ltd, break the law and you can be jailed or even killed. When Kira steals some bread for her starving mother she is caught and put up for slavery. Her new master is known for being brutal, but reputations are not always what they seem, especially when you are taken to one of the most beautiful islands in the world, a far cry from the deprivation of the slums or bright lights of the city.

The Ember Within by FathimaFaheen

Sometimes, even the most delicate things can seem dangerous but these things are too fragile to be counted. I can choose him, but this fragile choice could ruin me or my cause, and I can't afford that, even if it means the end of my life. But the sight of him takes my breath away. I've met countless men in my nineteen years, but why is he different? Why is he the one whose gaze makes my heart, Calista's heart of iron, beat?

Specter by SilentSword1010

~PARAGON CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: PHASE 3, BOOK 2~ *This novel serves as the 2nd novel of Phase 3 and a sequel to "Spark of the Rebellion".* "War is part of nature, and it's time that you accept that. When we return this Citadel to its warring state.....it shall emerge all the stronger for it. In the name of the Mainframe." -Imperator Barrows The enigmatic girl known only as Moody comes from an unstable past. Once a member of a notorious terrorist organization called the Crimson Skulls, she caused havoc and bedlam all in the name of her leader, Dr. Duncan Drevis. But those days are past; after Dr. Duncan Drevis's redemption, the Crimson Skulls have disbanded, with Moody relocating to the Rusted Citadel on one of Asia's archipelagoes and leading a brave rebellion in her attempts to free it from the ruthless, tyrannical rule of the Iron Kingpin. In 2021, they succeeded, with the help of half of the Paragons: The Viper, Dr. Duncan Drevis himself, The Crawler, and Duncan's sister Monica, known as the superheroine Voltara. Moody gained invisibility and intangibility powers, too, and swore to use them for good in defending the reborn city as the superheroine Specter, alongside its new head, King Ryker, and his court: T.J., Logan, Ollie, and Sylvester. But as the Rusted Citadel struggles to escape the shadow of the Iron Kingpin's despotic rule and embrace its brighter future, a new threat has emerged. A movement called the Shattered Circle works to reignite the conflict, with the goal of making money off of both sides for their own gains. With methods such as blackmailing, weapon trading, and information bargaining, they seek to return the Rusted Citadel to ruin and flee with the spoils. Moody has been tasked by King Ryker with investigating and taking down the Shattered Circle, and only time will tell if she succeeds.....or if the Rusted Citadel's dreams of freedom and liberty were always meant to be a fantasy from the start. • Cover designed by @Castiment
