Siblings Tom and Sierra Drummond aren't exactly thrilled to find themselves visiting their estranged father's house for a night, and that's before weird things start to happen during their stay. Time seems to be fast-forwarding, and there's a strange tug in their guts coming from their father's private office. Unable to ignore the feeling, Tom and Sierra sneak in and find an old shoebox full of unusual trading cards. Not knowing what they were about to unleash, Tom and Sierra take the cards home when their visit is over. 

Then things get even weirder. An old man claiming to be their grandfather is in their house when they return. Worse, he tells Tom and Sierra that the cards they stole from their father are actually prisons for a people he calls the Superhumans. Tom and Sierra don't believe him. 

That is, until he proves it by freeing some of them.

Now that a team of teen Superhumans called the Elite are free, they must learn to regain control of their power and save their people by defeating the Mage- the human-turned-Super who trapped them in the cards. But will the Elite be able to succeed when things take a surprising and unexpected turn?All Rights Reserved

MONSTER OF THE UNKNOWN by itz_mezieee

Almost a millenium ago, the dear world we live in was almost destroyed when the superhumans we call "zegens" created a creature too powerful for them to control. Their monstrosity - Feto - would have ended humanity as we know it if not for the intervention of the courageous heroes who risked their lives to seal it away. Many centuries later, in 2023, the new generation of the Zomer (the cult that nearly inadvertently caused the apocalypse) is back and they are now targeting Aaron, a teenage zegen orphan living in Brussels, Belgium. Little by little, with the help of his classmates - Mathéo, Sara and Laura - the boy unravels the secrets behind his conception and the four adolescents are all roped into an iniquitous plot that's much bigger than all of them. What truly happened to Aaron's parents for them to have abandoned him? Why is the Zomer so interested in him? Could any of this be connected to Feto?

Blink: Ethereal Fury by TristonLee3

**Novel Description:** In a world where heroes walk a razor-thin line between justice and brutality, *Blink* follows Benji, a 17-year-old raised in an isolated Japanese temple by a powerful but powerless blind Sensei. Benji and his fellow students possess extraordinary abilities, trained to show mercy in a world that offers none. But when a betrayal from within leads to a devastating assault on their temple by deadly assassins with terrifying powers, Benji's belief in the path of restraint is shattered. As his rage and power spiral out of control, Benji discovers a dangerous side of himself he's struggling to contain-one that threatens to consume him entirely. Grappling with the death of his mentor and the betrayal of his brother-in-arms, Benji must decide if he will continue to walk the path of mercy, or embrace the darkness and violence that calls to him. In this gritty, action-packed story, the lines between hero and villain blur, and mercy may be the most dangerous weakness of all.

Marked by Fate (Completed ✔️) by LaurenCampbell234513

Warning: Violence, swearing, abuse, and other sensitive topics - Read at your own discretion --------------- Fate can be cruel. Especially when an age old prophecy by a group of oracles says you are fated to lose everyone you care about. On top of possibly being rejected by your mate, or killed if they find out who you are. On the upside though, that same prophecy claims that you have some amazing powers even though you don't. So that's something, at least. ---------------- Isabell McVeigh is 14 years old when she has to separate from her adoptive parents. She winds up just where she was warned to stay far away from. The blood brood pack. She is forced to stay and is made an omega. She still has an escape plan, though it's going to take time to execute. Once the alpha steps down and his son becomes alpha, the command keeping her there will be null and void. Plus with everyone distracted it will be the perfect time to escape. She just has to hope she can make it until then and that she doesn't meet her mate. If she does and he rejects her, all he'll will break loose because that will be the start of it all. Will she be able to survive until her powers fully show themselves and she takes her rightful place or will she be found and extinguished before that can happen?
