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.

The Grean Household
"It was a mistake..." She told her mother, folding her hands into each other. "Marrying him..." Her mother said nothing, she simply sat there as her only daughter stood across from her, on the verge of collapsing from bruised ribs and cracked shins. "Mom." She wanted to reach out, softly tap her aging mother. Though that was the restriction of her life. The binding stereotype that she was gentle and slow to anger. In reality, what wanted to explode from her ribs was a scream of an animal, and the tears of repressed rage and fear. She wanted to throw her body onto the floor, but the thought made her damaged body ache more. There was no response from her mother. The deafening silence reminded her of her own quietness as her husband shouted at her, his fists bloody. He told her that she was only a tool for his amusement and a money-whore for her indigent family. She was nothing else but a tool for both parties. And she was starting to believe him. --------------------- Sarah Johnsen's life spirals from the normal gritty resilient fight to a serene wonderland. On the outside, she's married to a kind family with untold riches, but on the inside, her husband is the devil himself. Forcefully married at 18, Sarah was forced to kill her own dreams of becoming a doctor in order to bind her poor family to the rich bastards of Glendale by marrying their youngest; Oliver Grean. Their arrangement had the ability to brew the largest timespan of misery any of them has ever known. From lost toddlers to paid staged kidnappings, the binding of the two families, the Johnsen's and the Grean's created a mixture of chaos, confusion, sorrow, fear, grief, and dangerous rage. And there seems to be no haven to escape to. Or is there?

Empress Of Wrath, Blood And Desire
Aurora Velasco fled from a life promised to her: an entire empire on a golden platter. Despite possessing the skills, power, strength, and knowledge to rule, she never wanted the throne, not with the risks. Yet, her people will stop at nothing to see her ascend as their empress. Determined to escape this fate, she runs relentlessly, evading all who pursue her. Then she meets him. Marcellous Di Capo, a notorious and ruthless Don, becomes obsessed with Aurora after a one-night stand. Known as the devil incarnate, Marcellous is accustomed to taking possession of what he desires, and Aurora is no exception. The moment she holds a gun to his head, challenging her destiny, she becomes his obsession. Little does he know, the woman behind the mask is his worst nightmare. - "We are going to play a game, my sunshine," he murmurs, his hot breath trailing along the side of my neck. His hand finds my heated pussy, clutching it with just enough force to remind me exactly who it belong to. My heart stutters, my breath falters, and all I can feel is the searing heat of his presence. His lips hover dangerously close to my ear. "One where I fuck you recklessly, without mercy, and you won't make a sound... because if anyone around us hears, I will punish you." *** This book is unapologetically intense, filled with a few graphic violence and explicit content that explores the darker sides of humanity. It's not for people who shy away from brutal, unfiltered storytelling. If violence and sexual themes make you uncomfortable, this might not be the story for you. Proceed with caution- you've been warned. #1 in Spy: October 9, 2024 #1 in plot: January 17, 2025Complete

Her hands were slapped over her mouth to muffle any noise that escaped her quivering lips. 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? The thought that he could hear her heartbeat was crazy. It just wasn't humanly possible. Footsteps grew closer to the kitchen. Somehow, they had found 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. "Little Birdy," he stretched out his hand, "come out to play."Complete

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? Updates every Sunday at 7:00 EST *Not my art*

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
