For Io, this world is all she had ever known. For the red-eyed hunter the survival of the Den is all that matters. However; when she abandons the Den pursued by her legacy, the Den's power-hungry elder and her own mind, she takes the path to exile and to the truth. But when she finally faces her fate she may have to realise that the Aspects are not her only worries. There are things in motion that she can't possibly know but If she manages to stay alive for a while, she may get the chance to learn that the coming was only the beginning...

[COMPLETED] •Being revised... AGAIN (Progress: Intro-Chap. 3)• "We're going back... Understand? There are more threats out here than we anticipated, and they're all after you-" Lukas' voice erupted into static and chunks... I glared at the man in all black as the light continued to beam and blind me. Without my glasses it was actually painful. And then there was silence. My bare feet hit the metal floor of wherever we had jumped to, and I put my hand up to shield my eyes from the vicious attack of bright light. Not again."

Everything seems to be barren and empty... But if her super old sci-fi movies didn't teach her that looks deceive, nothing will.

The Demon Hunter Chronicles
War destroys an era, and war also creates a new world. I don't know since when, the night is no longer completely dark. In the aftermath of a cataclysmic nuclear war, humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. The once-thriving world has been reduced to a wasteland, where radiation runs rampant and genetic mutations have spawned a host of nightmarish new life forms. Society has crumbled, leaving survivors to navigate a harsh and violent landscape where every day is a struggle for survival. Amid this desolate chaos, a mysterious figure known only as Su emerges from the wilderness. With an enigmatic past and an uncertain future, Su embarks on a perilous journey through the ruins of civilization. His quest is driven by a quest for answers and a search for hope in a world where both seem to be in short supply. When desire is unshackled, the path forward becomes obscured; turning left leads to hell, and turning right leads to hell as well. The novel is centered around the struggle for survival, following the protagonist Su as he battles against various human factions such as the Dark Dragon Knights, the Bloodshed Council, and the Holy Radiant Crusaders. These conflicts push Su's abilities to continually awaken and evolve, ultimately escalating to a war against apostles and super-beasts.Complete

As her abilities grow-and her memories return-Ellie must face the truth buried in her bloodline: She wasn't created to save the world. She was created to end it.

If you want to read chronologically, go ahead, otherwise, read Evolution first* Before there was peace, there was chaos. Before there were Citybases, there were Ruins. Before there was UGE, there were remnant governments, each with their own agenda. Before there were P.O.E.s, there were rogue mutants with no disciple or training. But in chaos, order will converge. And in darkness, light will emerge. All Akram ever knew was the darkened streets of the ruin that was London, all he knew was to stay hidden, scavenge things and trust no one. His grandfather loved to tell him of The Time that Had Been, where food was abundant and strangers kind to each other. When his sister was kidnapped and found, the truth behind her abduction set off a chain of events that had him running to Paris in hope of finding his estranged family with a girl and powers beyond what he could comprehend.

Revolution (Book 3 of POE Chronicles)
(This is book 3 of the P.O.E. Chronicles, Read book 1 Evolution and book 2 Selection if you haven't already) I never wanted a war. All I wanted to do was to get things back to the way they were and to keep those I love safe. But it turns out that everything was just an illusion, that the reality I lived in was all but a lie. That world was no place to live, and in order to make a better future, a future that so many have sacrificed so much to try and archive before me, I had to fight. And to do that I needed to find out the truth, no matter what horrors lie beneath it. The web of lies, of secrecy, of betrayal, is spun so far, so fine, so wide that I had been seeing only a corner of it. I didn't know if I have the strength to go on, but I know that if I don't step up, the world as we have known it will end. If you asked her four years ago what she imagined herself doing in the future, Abigail Beckett could safely tell you that it doesn't involve political meetings, living in an ancient castle and seeking advice from a three hundred years old Original. Having discovered her roots, she had inherited the responsibility to make sure the world doesn't end by the terrorist group Apocalypse and make peace among POE and Legres.

Endless War (Complete)
The age of Enlightenment meant no more war, and entry into a 500 year peace between nations of Earth. That was until the Fallen came from the sky, an alien race bent on taking over our world. Tessa is now to join in on a war that has lasted 200 years, now that she is 18 and old enough to receive the military training microchip. This microchip will be implanted in her brain stem and show her all she needs to know about the war and how to fight it. That is until her mind somehow overrides the chip, making the true enemy unclear, and forcing her to make her own decisions. Lies will be uncovered, deceit runs rampant within the domes that house the upper class, and the underlying system that controls it all, is waiting for it to fall. This novel has occasional cursing and will contain some sexual content. I will place a warning prior to the 2 chapters that contain sexual content.
