Excerpt from White Lands Emperor Mallock's Guide For Survival:
1. Always be perfect.
2. Never rise above average.
3. Be a push-over.
4. Be obedient.
5. Never break the rules.
6. And above all, NEVER HAVE A PERSONAL OPINION.
One problem: Zoe Brook isn't perfect. Zoe Brook isn't a push-over. And although she sometimes may not rise above average, Zoe Brook is chaotic, rebellious, stubborn and hot tempered, a lethal combination in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by two controlling brothers.
She knows that first hand, after all, her only chance of escape-her brother-was executed for all the world to see. It's a shame she wasn't invited.
If it weren't for a key and a desperate need for freedom, then Zoe would have long ago fallen into the clutches of depression.
Now it's time to get revenge...

The Pain Thief
Zoe Szramik has had a tough life. When she was only eight years old, her parents were killed while she ran away in fear. Even at the age of seventeen, their deaths still haunt her. That's not the whole story though. For as long as she could remember, Zoe has had white hair, and only a few months after her parents' deaths, she developed a special ability to heal, to physically steal pain, and to create shields out of light. She wasn't the only one either. Her best friend Jack can create swords out of thin air. Both of them are unique, which tends to lead them into trouble. Now with Jack and her two wolf guides Malachi and Reyna, Zoe needs to find a way to keep everyone safe before everything comes crashing down. (I've also actually published a heavily edited version of this book for the Kindle, under the same title, with new chapters and other changes- You know you want to check it out!)Complete
Arena of Justice
Zoe is a teenage girl convicted of a murder she didn't commit, but that doesn't matter in the Arena of Justice. You either win your fights, or you die. ***** Seventeen-year-old Zoe never expected to find herself on the wrong side of the law, but when she's convicted of a murder she didn't commit, she's sentenced to the Arena of Justice - the home of gladiator matches where murderers fight murderers, and every fight ends with a death. Zoe's plan for surviving is simple: ignore the other inmates and fly under the radar until it's time to fight, but that's easier said than done. As hard as she tries to hate those she must kill, Zoe soon befriends the other inmates and falls in love - a deadly proposition when a moment's hesitation can prove fatal. It's up to Zoe to save her life, no matter how hard the system is trying to kill her. [[word count: 50,000-60,000 words]]Complete

Blood on Sand
Zoe wants to die. He's had enough of the cold, the starvation, and the blood. He has done everything he can to make his owner kill him, so why doesn't he? Sitting in the middle of a fighting arena like a modern gladiator, he is waiting for the killing blow...but it never comes. Wojtek doesn't care about the crawler bleeding out on the sand, he doesn't. But losing him would mean losing his best combatant, and he can't afford that. Instead of letting the life seep out of his fighter he strikes a deal with the owner of the opponent. But his plan backfires and he ends up with a lizard shifter in his wine cellar. A fucking crawler! That he would be a strapping young man if he put on some weight does not help matters.Complete

(OLD) Forever Desires
The updated & edited version of this story is now on Wattpad!: https://www.wattpad.com/story/43967583-forever-desires A trigger was pulled...and it wasn't mine. ※※※ Ever and her team had been locked in the arena for seven years, and throughout those seven years she has been tortured, played with and lied to. Her trust in everyone was slipping and her confused feeling for the boy she's known since she was six, was starting to pull her back -- keeping her from being who she was and her duty. Her duty was to rid the world of this terrible game called, 'The Emag', (formerly known as 'The Bloody Desires'). Why? She didn't want others to experience her pain and confusion. She wanted children to be safe -- to be loved. Not torn to pieces by machines and not starved to death. Even with her thorough planning, nothing ever went as planned. Captured. Humiliated. Tortured. All again. Ever was beginning to wonder if her plan would succeed...and if she could finally escape the abuse once and for all, well keeping her team alive. (Trailer by me)Complete
