Every year, twelve teenagers are chosen for the Tolmirous Challenge, a legendary competition that tests bravery and magic. The Destinies, breathtaking beings who were once human, are the ones who the the chosen children are partnered up with. They shimmer with an otherworldly beauty and their eyes seem to hold the secrets of forgotten times. But for Adelaide, the challenge is her only chance to win a single wish, a wish that could bring her mother back.

There's one twist: winning depends on who you're paired with. And fate isn't exactly on Adelaide's side. She's stuck with Drystan, a Destiny shrouded in rumors of bad luck. He's like a storm cloud compared to the other Destinies' , and everyone whispers warnings about him. Yet, Adelaide is determined, she refuses to let fear stop her.

As Adelaide ventures deeper into the challenge, secrets start to unravel. The Destinies' smiles don't seem as genuine anymore, and a cold dread creeps into her heart. The whispers turn into a shocking truth: the Destinies aren't benevolent guardians, but something much darker. And Adelaide, the ordinary girl with an extraordinary love for her mother, might hold the key to an ancient magic. This magic could shatter the illusion the Destinies have created and set the world on fire.

Who will Arise? by MashBap
9 parts Complete
Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.

GROUNDHOG DAY mixed with SIXTEEN CANDLES and a splash of DOCTOR WHO. A boy forever reincarnated as himself meets his soulmate for the 200th time, but can she solve the puzzle and break the curse to make herself his last? ***** Martha Beckett's life is over, or so it feels after her father moves her from California to Illinois in the middle of her junior year of high school. But on her first day in her new school, she finds a peculiar boy waiting for her. James is cute, friendly, and obviously too good to be true. Her skepticism proves justified after he confides in her his secret: after he dies, he is reincarnated as himself to live his life again and again and again... Retaining all knowledge and skill acquired in his previous lives and with a general understanding of future events, James is effectively superhuman. And while Martha enjoys the inherent perks of associating with such a boy, she comes to learn of the despair and exhaustion underneath it all. With no permanent consequence or hope of release, James struggles to stave off nihilism with Martha his one tether to humanity. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE SONGS is, in fact, a love story, albeit a complicated one. Can Martha reconcile with the fact that James has loved hundreds of other Marthas before her and will most likely love hundreds thereafter? Is James' choice to engage and confide in Martha irresponsible and selfish? Would she be better off living her life unaware of the cosmic freak who has loved her for millennia?

Striking a deal with Death can have dangerous effect - especially when you end up in a love triangle with one of its reapers, while fighting for your life in a deadly underworld competition. *** Percy Spring has always been able to see the darker side of the world - ever since the car accident that almost claimed her life, she has gained the ability to see demons and Death's reapers. But when Death itself offers her a second chance at life, she knows she can't pass it up. In order to save her friends, Percy agrees to enter The Game - a deadly competition in the underworld where no one is as they seem. As Percy navigates the dangerous world of The Game, she realizes that she has been placed in competition with one of Death's reapers, Ryder, with whom she has a complicated past. To make matters even more complicated, she is also competing against Death's jealous mistress. When the other players start to die, Percy must decide who she can trust in order to emerge victorious. As she struggles to outwit Death and save her friends, Percy must also confront her own feelings and decide where her loyalties lie. Can she trust Ryder, the reaper with whom she shares a tumultuous history, or Blake, the mysterious man who promised to help her save her friends? And can Percy truly trust either of them? Striking a deal with Death has never been more dangerous, and the consequences of Percy's choices will have a lasting impact on her future. Will she come out on top, or will she be caught in Death's deadly game forever? *** "Percy Spring, you are offered a second chance." "A second chance," she repeated. "This mean I will come back to life?" "The game of second chance was created for people whose fate is in doubt of whether their time has come or not. It is also for those who wish to go out on a limb and try their luck in winning with me," Death started explaining. "You will be put in the game, and we will play."
