In a world under the iron grip of the United Oligarchs of Earth, five families control the world's largest industries. Every service, including justice, is privatized, creating a bleak reality for the majority of the populace. The protagonist, Nova, is forcibly drafted into a grim televised spectacle - a death match tournament amongst kidnapped women known as the Valkyries. The victor of this brutal game wins a golden ticket to liberation and a life of luxury married to a member of the world's wealthiest families.

A bomb has been implanted in Nova and the Valkyries' heads, set to detonate if anyone dares to reveal the truth about the forced participation. Despite the odds, Nova forms an unlikely alliance, navigates treacherous paths, and fights against the show's cruel host who would do anything for a ratings boost.

Project NOVA by Elagomezv

No one knows her name. No one remembers the program. Fifteen years ago, Project NOVA burned itself out of existence - a covert military experiment designed to create perfect human operatives through psychological conditioning, sensory deprivation, and combat reprogramming. Every file was erased. Every scientist buried. Every subject presumed dead. But one lived. Now, the woman known only as Nova moves through the world like a ghost - a silent weapon-for-hire with no allegiance, no past, and no record. Her efficiency is legendary; her detachment, absolute. To most agencies, she's an asset. To others, a rumor. When a classified threat surfaces - something tied to the same black-ops labs that built her - the elite strike team ONYX is ordered to bring her in as a consultant. The men of ONYX - Commander Asher Vale, sharpshooter Reid Hawthorne, tech specialist Kade Mercer, and demolitions expert Silas Ward - have spent years surviving on trust, instinct, and brotherhood. They follow orders. They don't take risks. And they definitely don't work with outsiders. Until she walks in. Nova becomes the team's greatest weapon and deepest fracture. Her presence ignites suspicion, desire, and a quiet terror that none of them can name - because the more they uncover about her, the clearer it becomes: Project NOVA never ended. It evolved. It's watching. And she isn't just their newest operative. She's the reason they were assembled in the first place.

The Professor's Girl by AmourMio22

Nova Quinn doesn't kneel for anyone. At eighteen, she's inherited grief, money, and a one-way ticket to Hellridge College-a place known for its elite programs, brutal professors, and whispered warnings. She arrives in black leather, messy bun, and sacred rage. She doesn't want friends. She doesn't want love. She wants silence. But the Vale Brothers don't leave things silent. Lucien, Ronan, and Kai are professors with reputations carved in fear. Sadists in suits. They speak to no one. Look at no one. Until Nova blasts music in their lecture hall and refuses to shrink. She's chaos wrapped in ink and pain. They're control wrapped in dominance and ritual. And when she's hurt, they don't ask questions. They act. What begins as protection turns into obsession. What starts as punishment becomes sacred. Nova doesn't submit easily-but when she does, it's not just to one man. It's to all three. The Professors' Girl is a dark, emotionally charged BDSM standalone about grief, power, and the kind of love that doesn't ask-it takes. Three sadist professors. One leather-clad rebel. This isn't a romance. It's a reckoning.

"Mm look at yourself baby, you look so pretty for me right now" Nova said breathlessly while going even faster as she curled her fingers in me I started to feel the pressure build in me as I got the familiar feeling in me that I was about to pee "F-Fuck Nova wait" I said leaning my hand back in attempt to slow her down Hearing people chatter outside the hall I got nervous at the thought of being caught Nova grabbed my neck leaning me against her with her fingers still in me as she guided us into a stall and locked the door "We're not stopping till you cum for me Solene" she muttered out with a look of pure lust in her eyes as she covered my mouth Fuck me -------------------------------------------------------- Solene never really goes out; it's always work and home day after day.

Rise of a Valkyrie by simonholley

Young colonist Kayla Barnes needs to become a super soldier if she is going to save her home. She would rather die than fail. The Helvetic League's rule over Earth's thirty-seven colonies is failing. Desperate to hold onto power, its corrupt leaders send notorious terrorist Allana Rayker to the new world of Caldera, where she uncovers a horrifying weapon, as old as civilization itself. After her father is killed in front of her, Kayla is rescued by a mysterious commando named Urtiga. She offers Kayla the chance to one day join Valkyrie; a secret force of enhanced female super soldiers that protect humanity from the abandoned war machines of an extinct alien race. But until she is old enough, Kayla must attend a top girl's school and earn her place in the elite training. She finds herself studying alongside some of the galaxies' wealthiest aristocrats, like the beautiful and talented heiress Rose Djallen, who believe that colonists like Kayla should be subjugated by the 'superior' Helvetic culture. To become Valkyrie, they both face a gut-wrenching selection course that forces most recruits to quit. As Kayla struggles to keep going, she finds that to succeed she will need not only courage, and humility, but also friendships so strong, she and her fellow warriors would die for each other as they prepare to face the most terrifying enemy imaginable. *Illustration & Cover Design by Joshua Griffin

Rehabilitation: Unbelief 1 by CBStone

★ "The society is a cleverly conceived and thought provoking one. I really enjoy these novels and Stone's style of writing." ★ "The writing is dynamic and fast-paced as is the action. Hard to put down! A new powerhouse for sci-fi! Highly recommend!" Sinna refused to buy into Jacob's flights of fancy. They were stupid. Stupid got you killed. Or worse. When he was taken by force in the night, she knew he was in big trouble. There were rumors, whispers of what happens in Rehabilitation. And no one, not even her, could ignore the dead looks in the eyes of those who returned. If they returned. How could she abandon her best friend to such a fate? Even if he was stupid for drawing their attention. She had to at least try to save him. Even if it cost her everything. ★ "Haven't read anything like it, and I love books like that if I am interested in the story. Rarely do I find books like that." ★ "...the strong female lead is someone that can be looked up to. I especially love that you were able to integrate a strong moral tale with this dystopian world and have it not sound 'preachy' or condescending."

The wardens: blood oath 🌑 by darniij

Nova Nyor-Bell was eight years old when a car crash stole both her parents, leaving her alone in the world with nothing but a silver necklace - the only piece of her mother she could hold onto. By nine, she was pulled into the shadows of The Wardens, a secretive organization that trains children to protect a world that doesn't even know they exist. Disciplined, silent, and deadly, Nova quickly becomes one of the most skilled in her generation, mastering survival, observation, and decision-making under pressure. Now sixteen, she moves through life like a shadow - sharp, focused, untouchable. She trusts no one, lets no one close... except for Kai Rivera, her seventeen-year-old best friend and partner in the Wardens' dangerous world. With his warm smile, light brown hair, and teasing confidence, he's impossible to ignore. He sees the parts of her she hides, the cracks she keeps carefully covered, and slowly, over the weeks and months, he becomes her anchor in a world that demands perfection and obedience. But attachments are forbidden. Love is weakness. And the Wardens have rules. When Nova uncovers secrets about her parents' past - about the lives they led, the missions they undertook, and the truth behind their deaths - she begins to realize her life was never truly her own. Torn between loyalty to the Wardens and the growing feelings she cannot deny, she must decide: obey the order that raised her, or follow her heart into a dangerous, uncertain future. Trained to survive, prepared to fight, but unprepared to love... Nova Nyor-Bell is about to learn that some rules are meant to be broken, and some bonds are impossible to resist.

The Debt Collectors War by TessMackenzie

Ellie is a soldier in a world without governments. A generation ago, a series of financial crises caused most of the world’s governments to collapse, and left many of the people in those countries in terrible personal debt. Since then, the worst debtor nations have been under military occupation by the troops of the debt recovery corporations, and the worst debtor of all is Měi-guó, the old United States. Ellie is serving in the Afghan Police Action when she receives bad news from home. She is told the daughter she hasn’t seen in years is dead. She flies home from war, upset, to do what needs to be done, but once there she finds out all is not as it seems. Ellie’s daughter is alive and unhurt. She is being held by of one of the many debt-recovery corporations. Held, for leverage, to make Ellie do the corporation a favour. Ellie’s daughter will be returned unharmed if Ellie does as they wish. The son of a company director is lost somewhere in the wilderness of post-debt-restructuring America, and hasn't been seen for three days. The company wants Ellie to go and find the kid, and Ellie doesn't know if she can. The one rule she's stuck to all her working life is to never to go to America, but now she might have to.

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.

Gaslight Trials | The Wattys2023 Shortlister ✔️ by EvelynHail

| 𝟳𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 ·|| HUNGER GAMES x CINDER || ONC 2023 Honorable Mention Amidst the escalating unrest between the windborne utopian city of Lighthaven and its seedy, oppressed underbelly Fumedge, the Grand Duke of Lighthaven, Lucius Sextus, comes up with an ingenious solution. To provide much-wanted respite from the brewing conflict, and achieve the apparent-if-temporary unity, he organizes Gaslight Trials - a highly entertaining panem-et-circenses combat event in the Pits. The combatants may use all steam and thaumaturgy powered augmentations at their disposal, and there is only one rule: defeat, or be defeated. The reward for the last one standing? A chance to start their life anew. A brass key to the city of Lighthaven with a luxurious mansion to call their own within, as well as an aeroship to command. When eighteen-year-old Veda Igglesden steps forward to take her timeworn adoptive father's place in the fight, she might as well be signing her death-sentence. With her eyes fully set on the prize, act-first-think-later Veda must harness the power of technology to try and win for her Papa Otto. Decades of breathing in the toxic air of Fumedge did a number on the old inventor's lungs, and being able to live in the air-filtered Lighthaven would sure come in handy right about now. A high-flying adventure full of gadgetry and intrigue; a pleasing blend of steampunk and postapocalyptic. See Veda unravel the mysterious ploy behind the game's organization, and uncover the truth about her secret origins. Can she cope both with the trials of physical and intellectual prowess, as well as with the trials of life itself: those of love, loss and regret? © 2023 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompt 49! Which is (I shan't leave ye hanging :P): "Master the rules of the game until you can play it better than they can." Michael Scott, "The Sorceress" Get ready for steampunkish tinkering,
