The stars have settled, but the winds are just picking up.

Kael Galtionie thought he had left his life as Uterca's golden prince behind, but when his mother falls ill, things swiftly take an unexpected turn. With an impending contest between Kael and Nona for the crown - a crown which Kael no longer desires - it is of little luck that another unnatural storm is brewing.

Everyone knows there's no wind in space. So when gales start causing havoc in the cities, Kael and Amara Lee need little prompting to respond. Another weapon of mass destruction has been constructed, and it is only a matter of time before Kael and the Rapid's crew find themselves tangled in a deadly game of politics and hide-and-seek.

In the second instalment of the Natural Space Trilogy, Kael must balance his mother's wishes, personal feelings, and the blaster which he desperately needs to fire to survive.

Destiny's Blood by MarieBilodeau

A thief of valuable blooms, Layela's dream is finally coming true with the opening of her flower shop on the small remote planet of Collar. But the disappearance of her twin sister leaves her with a difficult choice: to continue tending to her blooms and promising future, or to blend in once again with the shadows to find her sister. She soon becomes the prey of two powerful assassins, of a colonel bent on revenge and of a mysterious sword-wielding stranger. Her only allies are Josmere - a feisty ether creature with the power to unlock the visions that assault Layela's mind, or to keep them from her - and a smuggling rogue, Ardin, hired to protect Layela at whatever the cost, even if that cost is her freedom. Their journey takes them across several worlds as Layela discovers who she and her sister truly are. And before them awaits the mythical First Star, on a path to self-destruction and the annihilation of all life. Unless Layela finds a way to stop it. But to stop it would mean sacrificing her sister. Or herself. --- "Marie Bilodeau knocks my socks off. Destiny's Blood is a winner - another home run from one of Canada's best new authors." Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of WAKE --- "The story's pace is fast, with many plot turns. ... Bilodeau writes these numerous action scenes so well that I was more than happy to go along for the ride." The Future Fire --- "A captivating and exciting read Science Fiction, your universe just got a lot deeper." Sequential Tart *** Dear reader: The book is all up, please enjoy!

Down Under by AmyMarieZ

|WATTYS 2022 WINNER - HORROR| Shawn, a convicted criminal, never thought she'd see the sun again, let alone call another star system her home. When she's offered an out from her prison sentence, she embarks on a dangerous interstellar expedition along with 18 of Earth's most intelligent criminals. Their task is to set up a base on a supposedly habitable planet and prepare it for colonization. Although the planet has liquid water and a breathable atmosphere, it is believed to host only microbial life. However, upon arriving, Shawn and the rest of the colonists learn that assumption was grossly incorrect. In a brutal attack from rampaging wildlife, everyone but Shawn and four other colonists are killed. The five survivors retreat to the cavernous network beneath the ground seeking safety, but they soon come to a terrible discovery. These caves aren't ordinary caves, and they are no safer down under than they were on the surface. [][][] This was originally my entry for the 2021 Open Novella Contest, and it received an honorable mention! It has now been expanded into a full length novel. I used prompt number 53: "When wildlife starts rampaging, all the humans are forced underground. However, they come to a terrible discovery that being underground is no safer than being on the surface."

Moon Bound - PART I & II - (Book 1 in the Original ROYAL HOWLERS Duology) ✔ by SAMiAMiz

*NOTE: THIS STORY HAS TWO PARTS IN ONE BOOK* In the werewolf fables told to their children, was a story--- a legend--- of a ruler--- a leader--- who would be born as the peace maker for their species. This leader would be the answer to a broken road, a 'Chosen One' who would provide a better future. Though it is a fable, just merely a story for bedtime to werewolf children, there was faith in it. There was hope such a legendary hero would be born and save them. And then the time had come, when a child---a boy---was born at Twilight--- the hour of the Moon Goddess--- and bore the marking of the Deity, sealing his fate; and everything---and everyone--- that twines with it. ***WARNING: MATURE CONTENT*** This has two parts and I decided to keep it all in one book instead of breaking it up in two. Honorable Mentions: FEB 2018: FIRST PLACE WINNER FOR @UNDISCOVEREDWOLVES BOOK OF THE YEAR (20K - 50K)

Approx. 78000 words Also available for download at Smashwords (www.smashwords.com/books/view/929789 Background: When I was 12, I started reading a book that alludes me now, but I would love to remember what it was! There was a boy, in a cave...crystals were involved...it inspired me to start writing Crystal Guardian (then called Space Pirates - changed to avoid comparison to the children's show!) I'm a slow writer...I stop and start, and reedit. This novel looks nothing like the Space Pirates it came from! I didn't finish until I was 19. Before I started university to study writing...so it is flawed, but I look back on it fondly. Probably heavily inspired by Star Wars...oops.
