In a nation where women and minorities are oppressed to the point of death, few people are willing to stand up for what is right. People around the Republic of the Aurora work to get people out and onto Canada.
Mary Cransworth is one of these people.
She lives in what used to be New York. She works to help women, families, and anyone who needs help to get away. She runs the risk of death every day, working to save those with targets on their backs.
She writes down the stories fugitives tell her of their suffering, their pain, and their desire to be free. She remembers their tales in the hopes that someone will use them as proof of the evildoings of the Republic.

TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily.

Wish come true
Aurora is a self-proclaimed literary lover who has always dreamed of living inside her favorite novel, Descended from the Heavens. Since its release, the series has captivated her with its intricate plot, breathtaking world, and compelling characters, Eliot White and Jade Pierce-who coincidentally share the names of her new co-workers at her dream job. As her affection for the novel deepens, one night, while drifting off to sleep, she makes a heartfelt wish to become a part of the story. To her shock, Aurora's wish is granted, and she is suddenly transported into the world of "Descended from the Heavens." She wakes up in a place that is both familiar and unrecognizable. The world is infused with regency elegance but is also marked by harsh societal norms, as it is ruled by emperors-where every action is meticulously planned and every move closely scrutinized. A drunken incident leads Aurora to cross paths with the story's main male lead, Eliot White, also known as The Ice Commander, granted the name known for his ruthlessness and cold exterior after accidentally throwing the plot off course. She quickly realizes that she is no longer merely reading the story; she has become a part of it. Now, she must navigate this new world, torn between restoring the original narrative or embracing her role as the new heroine. The question remains: will she find her way back home or will she be lost in the story forever?

Exile: The Book of Ever
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.Complete
Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.

She wasn't sure how long she was in that pantry but couldn't come out until she was beyond certain that they had left. For a moment, she started to have hope that maybe they wouldn't be able to find her, but a voice spoke up, and fear flooded in once again. "You cleared out the upstairs, too, right?" "Yeah." Another voice responded. There was a slight pause, "Hmm. Then where is that heartbeat coming from, I wonder." His voice had a sickening amusement to it, and her heart rate uncontrollably spiked with the adrenaline pumped through her veins. Was he talking about her?

She said one last prayer and goodbye to her life as the pantry opened. "Boo." The man yelled, peering in at her. She was frozen. There was nothing more she could do. She was going to die.
