Don't stand out. Don't speak up. Stay quiet. Be who they want you to be. In a dark future, the people are placed under mind control, lured by propaganda of the Imperium, their government. They are unable to think for themselves and constantly restricted. Astrid Hale has lived her whole life under the control of the Imperium and wants more than anything to be their most devoted citizen, willing to do anything to prove it. Callisto Adalwen finds herself as the only one who is completely her own person - a dangerous secret that could lead to her death if she fails to keep it. When their lives collide, they are forced to confront what they have been told and choose between their morals and their own safety. Two girls. Two realities. One story.

"At some point, you have to stop running and turn around and face whoever wants you dead. The hard thing is finding the courage to do it."--Katniss Everdeen (Catching Fire, chapter 8)

"They took my sister. Now I'm taking her back." Seventeen years ago, humans started developing supernatural abilities. Comic books came true as the first person flew, created fire, mind-read. The world entered a new age where people who could do special things were revered and admired. That all changed when one man lost control of his power and unleashed a huge explosion in a crowded shopping centre, killing over a thousand others. A series of fights involving superhumans broke out, resulting in the destruction of multiple cities and hundreds upon hundreds of further lives lost. The government began hunting down those extraordinary people with the assistance of a specialised unit: trained in recognising different abilities. Suddenly powers became something scary, uncontrollable and dangerous, that nobody wanted to own up to having. Seventeen years after the Explosion, Amelie Rose Carmichael is the daughter of the man who is in charge of hunting down and imprisoning these people. She enjoys a comfortable life, protected from any threats against her. But when Amelie develops an ability without warning, she must try to keep it hidden from her family, her friends, and above all her father. Can she keep a secret? Will she use her powers to help the rebel organisation that has approached her? And what secrets are the people around her hiding?

53 parts Complete Mature
The Deadlands - dry, arid, and merciless. A place where only the scent of death hangs loosely on the scorching winds. This is all that remains of a once bright world. This is the only world that Rain-Born has ever known. As a warrior of the Hanakh tribe she is without peer - a fearless, cold-blooded huntress. Knowing her skills, her village Elder bestows her with a sacred quest she must not refuse. She must reach the ancient Iron Forest and find the object that will save their tribe from certain destruction at the hands of their enemies: Callisto. But Rain-Born's journey is not her own. Unbeknownst to her, another wanders in the desolate wastes under very different circumstances. One who will come to call her friend. For these two travelers, the great Iron Forest holds the key to a brighter future... ...If they can survive long enough to reach it. ______________________________________________________________________ ----You may also find Callisto on: Royal Road.com (Crossposted as of 04/06/23)---- Awards: First Place in 'The Berry Pancake Awards' (22/01/23) First Place in 'The Gloria Regali Awards' (17/10/22) Second Place in 'The Count Awards' (15/04/22) Fifth Place in 'The Dusk Awards' (15/05/22) Features: Dystopian & Apocalypse 'Disastrous Dystopias and Paradise Utopias' (23/01/23) Stories Undiscovered 'Into the Abyss' (23/10/22) Wattpad Darkfantasy: 'Dark Laboratory' (15/09/22) Stories Undiscovered: Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi (03/06/23) Accolades: #1 in 'Talking Animals' (07/05/22) #2 in 'Girl protagonist' (18/05/22) #1 in 'Fantasy Adventure' (12/09/22) TW: Strong violence/language.
