17 year old Amia is off to find her twin sister, Maia. She left behind the comfort of her own home, her mother, and her two best friends. She is barely surviving in the forest with her companion, Cal. She begins to hear demonic voices in her head. Were all her sacrifices to find her sister in vain, or is there light at the end of the tunnel, or should we say forest?

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier
30 parts Complete
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

Whispering Woods

32 parts Complete Mature

In the secluded village of Fernhaven, a foreboding forest looms at the edge of town. The villagers whisper of an ancient curse, claiming the trees have voices that call out to the young, luring them into the darkness. For years, the stories have remained legends-until children start disappearing. When her younger brother vanishes without a trace, 16-year-old Ivy Marlow refuses to believe he's lost forever. Armed with her courage and her brother's favorite charm, she ventures into the cursed woods. What she finds defies all logic-a hidden realm of twisted, sentient trees and ethereal creatures, where time flows unnaturally and the whispers grow louder. Ivy discovers that the forest is ruled by a vengeful spirit, bound by a centuries-old betrayal that has trapped it-and the missing children-within its domain. To save her brother, Ivy must navigate the woods' illusions, solve the riddle of the spirit's curse, and confront her own connection to the forest's dark past. But the deeper Ivy goes, the more she realizes: the woods don't just want her brother. They want her.
