There were no winners of the war that ripped Briar's world apart: a war between those who had power, and those who did not. In the generations since, the survivors have learnt to live without technology, to carve a more rural life out of the land, and to hide their powers away.

Briar's family has power. To protect themselves, they live isolated, hidden within the bushland, and over a day from the nearest village, never forgetting that friends and neighbours would turn against them if they knew their secret. 

When she encounters Thorn, the mysterious silver haired man with technologically advanced black dragon-scale armour, in the bushland around her farm, Briar finds herself irresistibly drawn to him. His motivations are unclear, and as she continues to keep him secret from her family, she begins to wonder if she is risking their safety in doing so.

Defect of Servitude [Book #1] by ChelleLynnWriting

❝In a world hidden from ordinary humans' eyes, a rift exists where supernatural beings-creatures of nightmares-reside. This realm remains shielded from prying eyes, accessible only to those who are captured and forced into servant training. Once inside, individuals are reprogrammed for absolute obedience and trained to fulfill their Masters' every whim until they are deemed expendable. Escape is impossible. Madelyn Vagen lived her life blissfully unaware of this hidden world. Orphaned at three and with no memories of her early years, she was adopted by a loving family who nurtured her with the belief that she could achieve anything. Her normal life shatters after a failed date, leading her to become a victim of this dark trade. Captured and stripped of her identity, Madelyn is prepared to be sold to the highest bidder. Her fate seems sealed until the royal family abruptly interrupts her auction. As she is thrust into a world of secrets, Madelyn uncovers truths she never imagined. She learns about her mother's past, follows in her footsteps, and is pulled into a life where she must navigate the treacherous waters of royal blood. Madelyn finds herself fighting not only for her own survival but also for those who cannot protect themselves. All because she was born with a gene that caused her to do the one thing her former handlers never expected.

When a young warrior-turned-spy finds a rare magic wielder her people thought extinct, she must make a decision: stay loyal to those she loves, or return to her people as a hero. Season 2 of The Fated Series *** Secrets have been Brynn Alburn's companions since the moment her people left her for dead on the shores of the Western Shifter Territory.

Her visit leads her directly to Ronan, one of the deadliest shifters in all of Eravella, and a man she's inexplicably drawn to. Now, Brynn's been enlisted to help the Southern Shifter Territory rescue one of their own. The recovery effort puts her closer to Ronan, and gives her the chance to locate the treasure her people searched for. Except Ronan has a close eye on her, and he's refusing to let her keep her past buried deep where it belongs. Now she must fight her developing feelings, locate the wielder, and make the ultimate decision: protect the wielder and keep her secrets, or betray those she's come to love.

Endless War (Complete) by Amaranthean

The age of Enlightenment meant no more war, and entry into a 500 year peace between nations of Earth. That was until the Fallen came from the sky, an alien race bent on taking over our world. Tessa is now to join in on a war that has lasted 200 years, now that she is 18 and old enough to receive the military training microchip. This microchip will be implanted in her brain stem and show her all she needs to know about the war and how to fight it. That is until her mind somehow overrides the chip, making the true enemy unclear, and forcing her to make her own decisions. Lies will be uncovered, deceit runs rampant within the domes that house the upper class, and the underlying system that controls it all, is waiting for it to fall. This novel has occasional cursing and will contain some sexual content. I will place a warning prior to the 2 chapters that contain sexual content.
