Cold, Heartless Love (Book 1, Vespu Cronicles [Lesbian Story]) by Jett_Cyber

In the year 2184, The United States has split into five nations; one of which, The Plymouth Republic, is cold, mechanical, stark, and bleak. Every two years, the government collects 50 babies to be trained from infancy to be the most ruthless killers the world has ever known: fast, emotionless, and seemingly undetectable. They are employed wherever the government thinks there is a threat. Johanna Runner is 18, and the top of her class. She has 72 kills to her name, and was in one of the earliest groups of babies. Nearly every student in the assassin training regime hates her, because they all want to be the Grand Magistrate's favorite. There have been five attempts on her life by students. One day, she is sent on a mission to kill the head of a resistance group. It is a fairly simple mission, with no hitches, until Johanna catches a glimpse of the leader's daughter, and feels her first emotion in years: Love at first sight. These are the Vespu Chronicles. This is Cold, Heartless Love. (This book has an appendix. Please look at the last chapter for any terms or words that need explained.) ••FIRST DRAFT; UNDER CONSTANT CONSTRUCTION••

THE INDESTRUCTIBLE by nadiaeyoung

During the North American War, an organization is reborn. The government of Amory has officially decided to bring back the Hunters, an elitist group within the government with access to unlimited resources. They have the best fighters, the best healers, the best spies and interpreters. You name it, the Hunters have it. The only issue? It needs fresh new members. Twenty-five hundred students aged fourteen to eighteen across Amory are randomly selected to participate in a series of tests that measures different types of strength and skill. As these tests progress, the more difficult they get and the more money the candidate receives. Jaid Broomer isn't too thrilled about being chosen, but after making a promise to one of her most beloved mentor figures and finding out about a new addition to her family, she decides to go through with it and try her best. When she gets there, Jaid becomes submerged into a whole new world full of possibility and uncertainty. On top of having friendship issues, homesickness, and heartwrenching feelings for a certain boy, Jaid finds herself working to accomplish a new position. One that will provide her with a life that she never dreamed of living.

Burning Day by _ayah21

Subject 23 has lived and trained in the facility for all her life. It's all she's ever known. So every Subject developing their own special ability-a Gift-is normal. Avoiding the attention of the staff without Gifts, fearing them, hating them, is second-nature. It doesn't help that she herself is the only Ungifted Subject left at the facility. But what isn't normal is that weekly for the past six months, a Subject has been taken from the facility and killed. No one-not the doctors nor the soldiers-can find a clue as to the murderer. When Subject 23's closest friend is taken, she swears vengeance, consumed by rage. But what if she's no match? What if she's taken next? As secrets unfold and 23 is thrust into unimaginable places, she's forced to question all she's believed about Ungifteds-about herself. For the first time, 23 must decide on her own what future she wants, but could it possibly be with other Ungifteds?

The world as we know it ended 209 years ago. From a desert wasteland springs a single kingdom, ruled by a tyrannical King and trapped in an endless war against the shadowy desert warriors. As a desperate bid to save what remains of humanity, society has been split into two distinct classes, nicknamed the Court and the Commons. For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone. Reckless and impulsive, wanted by the King's guard, Kay has become known as the Runner. Using the city's rooftops as her personal domain, she manages to keep one step ahead of the King with one hand buried in the purses of the courtiers. Driven by the plight of the commoners and the unjust death of her family, Kay seizes the chance to graduate from small-time thievery to full-scale rebellion. Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past. Plucked from the streets and thrown into the shimmering palace court, Kay must use her every strength to blend into a world where she doesn't belong, closer to the enemy than she ever thought she would be.

Kadota (Love Trilogy) by Lisa_Evette

In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories. My scientist father hailed my uniqueness as a miracle, but my life was far from ordinary. To the village, I was just an oddity, a walking puzzle with missing pieces. My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out. It was my turn to face the unknown with a hidden purpose - to locate my lost father who was sent there years ago.
