Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

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."

When a terraforming mission spirals into a catastrophic Karinja ambush, Pelin discovers the dazzling secret that Midori, and the generals of the Alliance, are desperate to keep hidden. Forced to navigate deep space, draconian Alliance protocols, and her own turbulent past, Pelin charts a galactic course to protect Midori at all costs from the Karinja assassins hunting her, and from the sinister Alliance generals aiming to use her as a weapon of war. Yet Pelin can't seem to protect herself from her growing feelings towards her abrasive protégé. As the conflict for galactic control reaches a climax, Pelin struggles to keep Midori, and her own heart, safe. 🥇AMBYS 2024 WINNER - SCIENCE FICTION 🥇First Place, Katana Awards 2023, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Lovely Valentine Awards 2023, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Gloria Regali Awards 2023, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Jamboard Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Hearts Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥈 Second Place, Aster Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Star Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Misfit Awards 2022, Science Fiction Cover designed by @laylagriffin_

Seventeen year-old Kiera is half-Rae, half-witch and was raised in isolation in the forests because her father was banished from the Rae and her mother feared by humans. She spends her days in a world of magic, at one with everything around her. With her parents both dead, she is very alone and wishes she could at least meet her half-brother. However, he is Rae and she has no hopes of ever doing so. Other than that one wish, she is very content with her life as it is. Unfortunately, her peaceful existence is shattered when a spell of prophecy shows her that an alien threat is heading for Earth. The rulers of the Rae are shown the same visions, visions which indicate that Kiera is the only one who can save them all. Although she resents their part in her father's banishment, she knows she has no real choice but to answer their summons and provide what aid she can. Her bigger problem is figuring out exactly what to do next, since neither her visions nor theirs were clear on that.

The Scarlet Dagger (The Red Sector Chronicles, #1) by writekdjones

The strength of Sloane’s heart is about to be put to the ultimate test. After the Eclipse – the night vampires began openly slaughtering human victims – everything changed. Out of fear, the government salvaged what remained of the human population and enclosed them in massive, security-laden cities called White Sectors, while marking the vampire infested territory as Red Sectors. When seventeen-year-old Sloane McAllister’s twin brother disappears, she seems to be the only one who thinks he isn’t dead, and vows to stop at nothing to find him. Gathering her courage, she braves the Red Sector to search for clues to his whereabouts. By chance, she encounters Aden, a handsome, charismatic vampire with a hidden agenda. He turns Sloane against her will, and whisks her away to his underground city. Enemies quickly become friends as Sloane struggles against her attraction to Aden, and resists her growing loyalties to the creatures that ruined her life. But the vampires themselves are the least of her problems. The city is harboring a devastating secret, one that could change the tide of the war and threaten to destroy everything Sloane has come to believe in. YA/Thriller/Dystopian/Paranormal Romance

Until FEAR, the AI governing the virtual world of Valor, decides the thing humanity fears most is death. Despite the rising death toll and Facing Fear closing its doors, when Mori discovers her sister Shiori is trapped in the game, she does the unthinkable. She goes in after her. But she'll soon discover they're not the only ones desperate to make it out alive and there are worse things in Valor than the monsters.

KuDbaji : The Fall Of Vishkukuba by Anthony_G_A

👋✨ Hi lovelies, and welcome to the second book of KuDbaji 📖🔥 Kealon killed a noble Chief by mistake, which is why she ended up in The MadHouse, the feared underground prison. The other prisoners, not knowing the full truth, believe she did the impossible on purpose - a feat that elevates her to near-mythic status among killers, thieves, and monsters. While in prison, Bumba unravels a great calamity that is to befall the city and devotes his time to teach Kealon the ways of the Nizonis and prepare her for the battle ahead. --- ⚠️ WARNING: This story contains scenes that may not be suitable for some readers. Reader discretion is advised. --- The Fall of Vishkukuba (Free Story) War came without mercy. The Phroafites descended like a storm, their armies vast and unyielding. The Kudbajis fought with fire in their veins, but courage was not enough. They were overrun. The city fell in smoke and blood. But endings have a way of opening into beginnings. In the city's final moments, as fire devoured its bones, Cumar called upon a forbidden sorcery. With her dying breath, she tore the survivors from Mars and flung them across worlds-into the strange skies and boundless chaos of Earth. There, the survivors fractured. Unity died with Cumar, and each chose their own path. Some hid. Some hunted. Some dreamed of reclaiming what was lost. And Kealon-alone in this new land-was forced to carve out another life. To shed her old name, forge a new face, and wear a mask of belonging. But no mask can hold forever. And when the shadows of Mars come calling, survival will demand more than disguise. It will demand everything. --- ✨ Weekly updates on Wednesdays. Stay tuned-and don't forget to follow, vote, and comment to join Kealon on her journey. 🙏♥️ ---

New Mars Academy: The Four Keys by BeavisonPB

School leaver Dylan's life appears to be going nowhere. Working and gaming all summer really is as dull as it sounds. That is until everything changes when a UFO crashes into his house. Stupidly, he tries to pilot the bashed up UFO. With some daring manoeuvres, he successfully outruns the space police for a while. But within minutes of learning how to land, he's quickly arrested. With their amnesiator not working, the police take him to the post-dystopian human-inhabited planet known as New Mars. Of course New Mars with it's alien technology, it's people, it's creatures and everything else about it shouldn't exist. Highly impressed with Dylan's flying skills, the president of New Mars offers to release him and his friend Zac into the New Mars Academy. OK, it's not the most prestigious place to study but it's far better then having their memories erased before being dumped back on Earth. They're soon befriended by fellow misfits including mayhem making ladette and talented hacker 'mischievous' Maya, disturbed and angry girl 'crazy' Daisy with her dark mysterious past and likeable conspiracy theorist 'loony' Lauren. Together they must fight the return of the evil dictatorship before it can wreck the re-emerging New Martian society. And of course, they mustn't forget to study hard for their exams. *** Edits and tweaks in progress. Updates will NOT affect the plot.
