*NEW UPDATES ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE*
In a dystopian future set far across the land of Arixona, lie the sixteen Precincts, The Commune and the Labyrinth. Every year, one Martyr from each Precinct is chosen to compete in The Parables - a competition like no other. Set in the scene of a Grimm's fairy tale, each Martyr must try to conquer the challenges that lie ahead of them. The challenges that lie in the Labyrinth.
In the Labyrinth, there is only a path to guide you to the finish and only one can become the victor. Either win or get trapped. Get trapped, and you lie vulnerable to the creatures of the Labyrinth, lurking in the shadows ready to pounce upon their prey.
The 99th Parables. Eight boys. Eight girls.
The tale of Hansel and Gretel is about to be retold with an epic twist.
Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner.

Based on a True Story: Haven or Hella Crew?
What would you do if tomorrow morning, everybody in the entire world vanished? If you're anything like my brother and I you'd probably jump for joy. We certainly did, all you can eat pizza for the very reasonable price £0. In the first moment it is heaven, but then you realise the true cost. Your friends; gone! Your family; gone! And all that is left is the pain. Rocky and Chase explore their empty world determined to make it back home as they search for their lost mother and 12 year old sister Kayleigh. With an empty world this might seem a hopeless task but try telling that to two orphan brothers. When you wait that long for a mum you don't let little things like 'disappearing' stop you from getting her back. Unfortunately for the maladjusted boys some of the people who disappeared have come back, and they have, let's say 'changed.' That's ok though, these boys have never shied away from a fight in their life! But when the last girl on earth actually might actually be your soul mate it's a new kind of pain for Rocky to watch her fall for his brother. His fists have gotten him through life up to now, so it's hard to accept that the key to finding his Mum and solving this mystery might mean facing his feelings. It's one thing to fight the actual monsters around you but beating the ones on the inside is the true battle. A battle both Rocky and Chase must conquer if they are ever to see their Mum or sister again, a battle they must win if they are ever truly to have a family. Sometimes saving other people starts with saving yourself, will Rocky's journey be similar to your own? Let's find out...Complete

Left Behind//The Maze Runner
She was from Group B. They called her an "original," one of the first thrown into the Maze and left to survive. Escape was never part of the plan. Not for her. Not after everything she'd seen. But somehow, they made it out. Now, she's been relocated to a so-called Safe Haven-a sterile facility that is said to be their reward for surviving. But nothing about it felt like a reward. Aris, the only other survivor from her group, doesn't trust a word they say, and after a new group of boys bursts in with warnings of lies, manipulation, and something far worse lurking beneath the surface, neither does she. One of the boys stands out amongst the chaos. There's something in the way he looks at her. It's like he's seen the same horrors, like he understands her in a way no one else has. And no matter how much danger they're in, she can't seem to stay away. The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: escaping the Maze was just the beginning. • • • {Published 3-10-18} {Completed 9-19-18} {Started Editing 11-13-22} {Finished Editing 07-07-25}Complete![i.

BURN ( tmr × thg )
❝ never trust a survivor until you find out what they did to stay alive ❞ ―Kurt Vonnegut, Bluebeard [ the maze runner × the hunger games ] No one was ever happy in District 12. They were the poorest among the districts, had the unhappiest citizens, and never enough to eat. But when Rosalind Mellark's name was reaped, and she found herself facing her worst nightmare―playing in the Hunger Games―a rare spark of hope ignited not just among the people of her district, but throughout Panem. Little did she know that one day, a certain girl on fire would be the catalyst to the hope that Rosalind had sparked.

Echo II
They thought they'd escaped. They were wrong. The desert stretches endlessly before them, scorching by day, freezing by night, and full of dangers they can't see coming. Isla is barely holding on, her body fighting against whatever WICKED pumped into her veins. Minho refuses to leave her side, even as the others struggle to keep moving. Food is running low. Water is almost gone. And the mountains that promise salvation still feel impossibly far away. But WICKED isn't done with them yet. Hunted by Cranks, haunted by nightmares, and desperate to survive, the group has no choice but to keep pushing forward-because stopping means death. Or worse. And in the end, escape might not be an option at all.Complete
