~Night is forever.~
---
In a world with endless night, Sparrow, a sixteen year-old girl with an affinity for the thievery, lives in a world where the sun has disappeared centuries ago. The people of this world have adapted to the never-ending darkness, developing unique biological traits and lifestyles to survive, with their own customs and traditions. 
She stumbles upon a secret society that calls themselves Lightfall, claiming to know the truth about the vanished sun, and she embarks on a dangerous journey into the unknown, seeking to uncover the truth and bring back the light.

He rakes a hand through his hair. I notice a new scar on his jaw, pale blue against the darker rest. "They call themselves 'Lightfall'."

"Lightfall? How absurd." I laugh. The sun, if there had been a sun to begin with, had disappeared thousands of generations ago, and the people living on planet Terra had evolved (or hadn't, depending on different beliefs) with new 'abilities', like night vision, blending in with shadows, and the star patterns on our skin that could glow at will. I honestly didn't really care what had actually happened, more focused on the present than the past. "Everyone knows the sun is gone, or never existed."

Hunter laughs. "I assure you, it does."

I apologize for all the name changes and cover changes. I can't find anything juuuust right.
Also ignore various plot holes in the story, spelling mistakes, random scene changes, and how the tense might change from present to past. Hopefully I never accidently wrote in future tense, but excuse my lack of editors.
If you're wondering why it says 'Book One' in the title, it's because I'm planning this to be a series if I ever really go hard on finishing the first book.

The Fertility Mark (Book 1) by grizzie-grey
52 parts Complete
NOT EDITED VERSION. Delilah got a huge responsibility on her shoulders at the age of 17 when her parents died. The responsibility: her seven year old sister, Alice. They don't know exactly how their parents died. All they knew was that their car exploded, but their bodies were never found, even after the fire was put out. Delilah thought that her life was simple -well as simple as it gets with a seven year old in your life- but what she didn't know was that people were looking for her. For both her and her sister. The mark that they bore behind their neck symbolized something bigger than what they thought was a simple birth mark. It symbolized mate. But more importantly, it meant that they could bare a child with no fertility problems. On the vampire world, fertility is a big problem. It's been thousands of years since a female has birthed a child that has been capable of passing down the vampire gene without being bitten or cursed (the worst and most painful possible way ever) or both mother and infant dying. So finding a female with the mark is like finding your own personal treasure. When Delilah meets her hot new neighbor and finds out he's a werewolf -not just any werewolf but the most powerful Alpha King- will they be mates? Or will she be mates to one of the many vampires and help solve the thousand year old problem? Cover made by @bubblygummii Mark is supposed to be behind neck, so please don't judge the cover. I love it ❤️

The New World has been the last peaceful and resourceful country for nearly two hundred years. Or at least that's what they say. Samantha Ivory has been living a boring average life in an old town with lots of history. That is, until the news of a carnival coming to town ignites new excitement. This carnival promises a night of fun for everyone. There are games, promising rewards, and food that no one has ever seen or tasted before. But what if this carnival isn't what it seems to be? And who are these people that have come into her town? Can Sam figure it out before it's too late, or will she get stuck playing a game she never wanted to play? (Currently completed as of October 2023, and finished editing as of March 2024) *****Excerpt***** Excerpt: Instead of seeing myself standing in front of me, there is somebody else and it's not my brother or anyone I know. A boy no older than me is just standing there, he is wearing a gray shirt with a hole in the shoulder and it has a handful of stains and dirt spots on it. I immediately know he is not from Treegrass. Not only have I never seen him before in my life but everyone in our town always wears nice clean and washed clothes, therefore nobody should be looking like him. The boy has a small cut on his cheek and is thin, a lot thinner than he should be. I look away from him and around at my surroundings, there is no one else here. I regain my composure and look at him again. That's when he says something that makes my blood run cold. "Run."

The Golden Age- When the Traveler arrived, a time of peace, prosperity, and infinite possibility sprouted from Earth.

Fast forward to the end of the Golden Age- The Collapse and the Dark Age- alien races surge forth from outside the system- the Eliksni, the Hive, The Cabal, The Vex- all coming for the Traveler. He fought them all, sending his Light, his Power out, crushing the opposition. Then, He was crippled, retreating to a small town. Fast forward to the beginning of our age- The City Age- With His dying breath, The Traveler created the Ghost- small machines that can revive those capable of wielding the Light- His Power- and fight the Darkness. The Hunters scout out terrain, reclaim Dead Zones, and are the eyes and ears of the City- the Warlocks research the secrets of the fundamental ideas of the Darkness, predict future events, and enthrall themselves in the workings of the Light to understand it and to find new ways to work it into the Guardians arsenal- and finally, the Titans, Defenders of the Last City, and the burning lights of hope in the shadows. Honor-driven. Leaders. Warriors. The Protectors of Humanity. Deeply intertwined in the history of the Last City. What happens when one is reborn and becomes one of the few able to wield the flame of hope as his own, to burn off the shackles of darkness that have been crushing humanity's will and hope to dust, What happens when he experiences so much tragedy, so much pain, that he delves into the shadows? What happens, when he finally snaps? And what happens to his loved ones when they are forced to put him down? And what will his Legend become, if he himself threatens the safety of the Last City. --------------- Thanks go out to the wonderful girl that most would know as @ShadowPine for the Cover art.

"Ow," Dusk complains, picking herself up and brushing her hair out of her eyes. Jason is good, and he's not holding back. "Oh come on," he taunts, "That didn't even hurt." "Easy for you to say," she gripes, stepping up again. She mirrors his raised fists, then ducks a punch and purposely walks into his other one. It knocks her flat on her back. She rolls her eyes at herself and decides to step it up a bit. She heaves herself up and beckons with her hand. Jason raises an eyebrow and faints a punch to the left before coming at her with a vicious right hook. Dusk ducks it and sends her fist crashing into his side. He doubles over. "Not bad," he comments when he gets his breath back. Dusk smirks. "Guess I got a good teacher." "You got Hammerfist, right? He's kinda a jerk, but he gets the job done..." "No, hotshot, I meant you." Boys. His face goes surprised and then he smiles. "Oh. Say...you wanna go get a drink tonight after the stakeout?" ---------------------- Dusk's life is hard, but she's the Weapon, ready for anything. Whether it's fighting the gangs in the alleys, protecting the weak and innocent, or stopping thefts and misdemeanors, she's the guardian of New York City and beyond.
