Each are seen as burdens; burdens to the perfect society their parents and ancestors have built - one where a vicious cycle of cruelty threatens to repeat for generations to come. 

Upon hearing of Avantis, a land deemed to be a child's paradise, their hearts cling to the hope that there is still the possibility of a brighter future, and they flee the kingdom of Moreli.

The Man In The Woods (Virgin Killer #1) by The_RebelAngel

**3RD PLACE WINNER OF THE 2017 CRAYON AWARDS** Third place winner of the 2017 Lilac Awards From the beginning, I knew what I was in for. I knew that this scenario would end one way or another. I wasn't stupid. Nobody put a gun to my head and forced me to play this game of cat-and-mouse. But I will say, I never pictured that this would occur. I stood there, my brother's silver Smith and Wesson in my hands, directing it at my deadly target. My eyes bore into his, his indicating no sign of emotion, while mine were filled with horror. "It's you," I said, my voice unsteady. He took another step closer to me, his hands in the pockets of his trench coat. A malicious grin formed upon his face. His signature expression. "Surprise," he replied before sauntering forward to finish what he started six months ago. ♠♠♠ Six months after Skyler Williamson is abducted and tortured in the woods by a serial killer, she deals with the repercussions of her unfortunate ordeal. Crippling anxiety, the results of unknown misfortunes, bubble up to the surface and rest in the foreground of her mind. And Skyler's prescribed medication can only help to a certain extent. Repressed memories of the past collide with the present, causing Skyler to be unable to distinguish what is real and what is not. When two teenage girls turn up dead, Skyler finds it is up to her to catch the man who's behind all of this... Even if this means trading her own life for the answers she so desperately needs. © The_RebelAngel 2016 STARTED: 01/01/2016 ENDED: 06/21/2017 Cover created by @The_RebelAngel on Canva

The Lost Arcadian Princess by MagicalTempest

As the magickal kingdom of Arcadia is invaded, King Dante realized that his younger brother, Mathias, has turned former allies into foes and will stop at nothing to take over the throne. Knowing it is too late for him, his wife, and their two sons, he hands his newborn daughter, that very few knew had been born, to his most trusted knight, Jason, after kissing her head, mourning the life she will never have. He opens a portal, sending them away to safety just before his brother sees his daughter. In the human realm, Jason seeks out an old schoolmate, Leo, to help him adjust to this new world he has to raise the lost Princess of Arcadia in. Leo is reluctant to help Jason, but as soon as he sees the child, he agrees. The pair ultimately decide to raise the baby, named Rosabella, by Jason, together, so Leo can teach her sorcery and Jason can teach her to fight. As Bella grows, she knows nothing of her uncle or the kingdom that is rightfully hers. Jason and Leo didn't want to burden her with that as she grew, giving her a chance at a normal life first. At least, until she is kidnapped and forced back to Arcadia, where her captors expect her to face off with Mathias for the throne.

The DollHouse by ellyjette

I want to be more than what they say I am. "We were told that in the early days of implementing the Motherhood project there were protests. ... but when I look at my own mother, I can't help but feel that some of them were relieved. They just handed over their kid, like a pair of car keys, and told the State to make sure it didn't get scratched." In seventeen year old Cameron Bree's world, parents are not allowed to raise their children for fear they'll do it wrong. To further ensure these children grow up to be model citizens, the State conducts regular personality tests to determine if they are innately good or innately evil. But what does it mean when you can cheat the test?
