two hundred years ago, war ravaged the world. Millions died. In a way to protect the people, Pona was created. Peace of National Alliance. A wall was built around the survivors for their protection from the damaged world.
But poverty and crime riddles Pona. A rebellion is burrowing into the roots of the society. One seeking equalty, truth, and justice. A rebellion called The Firebirds. In a world where living is split in levels of wealth, the rebellion is growing every day.
Eighteen year old Blythe Root had been raising her younger sister in The Slums since she was fourteen when her mother disappeared. She would do anything to keep her sister alive, even steal. When she is caught stealing a pig leg from the butcher, she is sentenced to death, but she is granted the opportunity to live. She just has to make it through the court trials, a deadly maze of obstacles created by Pona leaders to thin out the population of criminals.
She's swooped up by her representative, Cyrus Walker and his second in command, Liam Emmett. And she is sent to Pona Center to train where she meets the other sixty convicts she is to compete against, including the icy eyed scared boy named Colter Jacobson.
Sent into the trials with only a pack of supplies, she is determined to beat the trials and return to her little sister. Blythe is willing to break in order to win.

ECHOES OF THE VANISHED
Once, this world was painted in hues of green and blue,alive, breathing, and free. Now it lies cloaked in dust and sorrow, so pale that even the sky weeps in pity. Where wings once danced across endless skies, not a single feather dares to fall. The colours of life were stolen and those who took them, know their guilt too well. But isn't that the rhythm of life itself? To fall, to bleed, to rise again? Life was meant to be free wild as the wind, untamed as hope. Yet now, that life flickers...its final light trembling beneath the weight of despair. Until they came, the "saviours," wrapped in golden lies. They promised colour, promised salvation, but in the dark, they only snuffed out more stars. And just when the world's last song was about to fade life defied its own ending. It gave birth to something forbidden. Unnatural. Unwanted. Unbreakable. They were the echoes of rebellion souls forged in silence and fire. The world would tremble again, its nights filled with screams of the dark for the light these Unnaturals would ignite. For they were no longer just outcasts. They were "Revolutionaries" rising against the shadowed throne of a corrupted order, against the lies that chained the truth, and against the hands that silenced every voice that dared to speak. And through their defiance, the world would remember, that even in the deepest dark, light is born from those who refuse to bow.
Gods Under The Dome
[Editors' Choice 2020] In a near-future, post-apocalyptic world, a lone girl must choose between becoming the next-in-line to head a corrupt government or siding with those who wish to see the world burn. Order, suppression and lies, or chaos, truth and freedom? Whatever is chosen, one thing is clear: both sides bleed. ***** Every year, the Federated United Americas tasks its elite soldiers to participate in a nation-wide Cull. Hundreds of children are taken from homes and put into one of three Facilities. While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking government jobs and militia commandos, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the FUA has to offer: The Council. Beckett Blake is known in the Facility as Ten, and she alongside six others branded 'Liars', have spent years enduring confinement and rigorous testing in order to secure a future as head of the FUA. When a terrorist group breaks into the Facility and kidnaps Ten and the others, she's forced to re-examine her future plans. Required to become a drug runner in the mega-city known as Neon Brights, Ten must decide if the future she'd been promised since childhood is worth the lies it's built upon. Will Ten choose the future that's been decided for her, or will she carve out one all her own, even if that path leads to her destruction? Cover by @eosophobiasTerminé
Lift the Vale: The Firebird Trilogy- Book One
*Fantasy Fated Romance* In a kingdom where soulmarks are cursed and secrecy is survival, Nyra Vale lives two lives. To the palace, she's a sharp-minded tactician with an ethereal beauty and a blade to match-perfectly placed within the Crown Guard. Behind closed doors, however, she's a noble-born heir hiding a dangerous truth: the firebird wreathed in thorns that is etched into her pale skin. A soulmark tied to an outlawed myth of lovers destined to bring down an empire. A mark that could bring her own demise should she be found out. When a rebel leader named Kael Thorne is dragged into the palace in chains, Nyra expects a prisoner. A task to distract herself from her ever impending doom. He does anything but. His arrival marks the first time since it was etched in her skin that her mark burns. Linked by fate, hunted by the crown, and haunted by a story they were never meant to live, Nyra and Kael must unravel the truth behind the ancient myth that binds them- before it repeats, with blood and fire. But can they twist fate's hand into writing their own ending? Or will the war that ignites within the palace walls be the end of everything? "The kingdom fears us- and maybe for good reason."

Robbin
He seemed to be in pain again, squeezing his side, so she looked away. "Help will come soon," he repeated distantly. It was a dream. She was certain now. Real people didn't worry about such things... Terra is all but interesting. She's shy but a little bit blunt, pretty but a little unconventional, and a repellent to any form of attention or recognition except that of high school bullies and unimpressed family members ever since Gran died. But that's all about to change, because in the dangerous world of Carynthia, someone thinks she's worth protecting... and everyone else wants her dead.Terminé
Ashes of Vengeance
Two warriors. One prophecy. And a love that could burn the world to the ground. They built the Trials to break her. She'll burn their empire instead. In a world ruled by the Ascended, the Lowborn are given a single chance at freedom - survive four deadly Trials inside the Academy. Most don't make it past the first. No one survives the last. Nyra Vale was never meant to be chosen. A pit fighter with bloodied knuckles and a serpent-shaped mark she's spent her life hiding, Nyra steps into the Academy ready to fight - but not to play by their rules. Kael Draven was raised by the very system built to crush her. Bound by an Oath to watch, not interfere, Kael is meant to be her silent judge. But the longer he observes her, the harder it becomes to obey - and the more dangerous his loyalty becomes. As the Trials grow bloodier and whispers of a forbidden Vault awaken ancient fears, Nyra's survival is no longer about freedom. It's about vengeance. And she's done waiting for permission to rise.Terminé

Fate's Return (Twisted Fate, Book 2)
Alyssa has forgotten her brush with Death, but David's words have stayed with her: prepare. For what? She doesn't know. For a year, she's trained and become an almost undefeated boxer, putting all of her grief for the boy she loved and lost into being the best fighter. She's fast, strong, fearless. Now strange things have started happening, and she thinks she's losing her mind. How is she supposed to fight against what she can't see? Her mother's mind is clouded with a darkness no medicine can fix, and an ancient shadow circles the town, and Alyssa knows it's somehow related to her. Gifted in ways she doesn't understand, she's thrust into a triangle of devotion and danger-an angelic protector who refuses to leave her alone, a boy whose hands have held hers through the nights, and a darkness that wants only to make her surrender. In a race that runs as fast as her fists, Alyssa must choose who to trust and how much of herself to give-because the only way to stop a thing that feeds on light may be to become what it fears most. Will she save her mother and keep her humanity, or the secrets hasn't discovered cost her everything?Terminé

Ashes of the Fifth
They told us there were four factions. Four ways to live. Four roles to play. Four futures to choose. But they lied. There was a Fifth. And I am the proof. In the fractured remnants of a world rebuilt after collapse, every sixteen-year-old must face the Trials-an unyielding ceremony that assigns them to one of four factions: Ignis, Vera, Sylva, or Machina. Obey, and you live. Refuse-or fail-and you vanish. Kael Riven has never belonged. Born outside the system, raised in the shadows of Sector Nine, her only goal is to survive the Trials and disappear into obscurity. But when the test reveals something impossible-something forbidden-Kael becomes the target of a truth long buried. Labeled a threat. Hunted by the enforcers. Haunted by her past. Now, Kael must navigate a divided city, uncover the secrets of a faction that shouldn't exist, and trust the one person who might betray her heart. The Trials were supposed to choose her path. Instead, they lit the spark of a revolution.Terminé
