And when the discovery of a new mineral leads to people developing supernatural abilities, these "Abnormals" are treated no differently. However in the wake of a catastrophic event that left everyone wondering whether it was the end, everything changed.

That is until he is offered the power to change the course of his life forever. He could become an Abnormal or even more hopeful he could become a Superhero! Except that the way he would get his powers isn't exactly above board & the people he would be joining are fighting crime outside of the law. Is this the chance he must take to turn his life around or just another BIG mistake in a long long list of them?

GO, DIE & COME BACK by MustafaAsad6

Barrels and Clarks. Two elite families in Edinburgh. Everything seemed to be going well until the families fell into the hands of crime. The avarice for power, fame, and wealth turned everyone into monsters, which can go to any extent to wield them. Rich miscreants, mafias, goon squads, cops, a genocidal army, and their accomplices created mayhem in the capital through murders, lust, injustice, rabble, and pulling off a million-dollar heist in Edinburgh. It's once said, "You can't run away from destiny. It's pain that makes the legacy." In this rat race, can anyone be worthy enough to conquer all and create a legacy? Note: Our social workers' insensitivity in the book is fictitious. We ask you to refrain from taking it too literally. I hope you all like my book, and don't forget to let me know when you're addicted to it. Happy reading.! For Harish.

Jewels of the Crown by heliotropegirl

Adellia has grown up surrounded by rules and regulations. She's been prepped from birth to eventually reside in the throne that has been in her family for what feels like forever. Unfortunately, her destiny is quickly approaching. Her father is dead, and her mother has only a couple of months to live according to doctors. All eyes in the castle, and kingdom, turn to Adellia expecting her to step into her mother's shoes. However, both women aren't ready to give up their lives just yet. Wanting to learn more about her kingdom, and the people of it, before she is forced into an arranged marriage and the throne for the rest of her life, Adellia ventures out into the kingdom to do just that. While there, Adellia meets a young blacksmith by the name of Faron and gets sucked into a plot that goes against her, and her mother's wishes. Will she be able to venture into the unknown, and survive out of the watchful eye of the palace? This book has sexual reference and mentions of things that could possibly be triggering to some - e.g. young motherhood and loss of a parent. This work is usually split into two parts, but I have decided to take down the second part, and consider the first part, one book for now, so I can work on the second. When the second part/book has been finished, I'll decide whether I like it as one book or to reincorporate the rest of the book to make it one. Entered in the Wattys(2020)!
