Two-paragraph-Blurb:
In an Empire where worth is judged on strength, crippled and homeless Coward risks a beating every time he leaves his hiding place. He is an embarrassment to the Naghlas, and others of his kind will remind him of his worthlessness every chance they get – even if that admonishment borders being lethal.

Then Coward is caught stealing food and prepares for death… until the Sazi of Zhinda – a legend among his own people – steps forward and saves him. Now Coward finds himself bound to serve the Sazi, and is brought unprepared into high-stakes Palace life. But Empire politics share more with street-survival than he could imagine. Can Coward use his survivor’s instinct to brave a cross-continent diplomatic journey, or will his innate cowardice overcome him and doom the expedition, the Empire… and, worst of all, his savior?

One sentence Blurb:
The Empress ran out of chocolate, and the MC and his boss have to go negotiate for more.

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier
30 parts Complete
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.

20 parts Complete Mature

[!!!!NEWS!!!!!] !!!!!THIS STORY IS BEING RE-WRITTEN AS IT IS MY FIRST STORY AND I WISH TO MAKE IT BETTER, THIS WILL STAY UP BUT NOT BE UPDATED ANYMORE, MY REDO SHALL BE OUT SOON UPON THIS MESSAGE BEING MADE, THANK YOU!!!! Life is an enigma, a web of choices and cosequences. So wheres the harm in a little gamble, a bit of risk and reward. That was the same question (Y/N) asked themselves one night. Follow the story of a thief, an actor, a liar, and a gambler, as He steals himself two shiny tickets to a concert he never heard of. Witness the story of pain, love, life and death, as one man steals the hearts of four (maybe five ;> ) women, and how the consequences of his actions come back to haunt him.
