The Midnight Curcuit
Nova never intended to be a hero. In fact, she barely considers herself a survivor. Haunted by a fractured past and the mysterious disappearance of her family, she's spent her life on the move, relying on her wits and instincts to stay one step ahead of those who would see her caged-or worse. But her quiet existence shatters the moment she stumbles upon the Fragment, an ancient artifact humming with forbidden power. Together, they uncover a prophecy older than time itself: a Codex that could rewrite the very fabric of their world. Pursued by relentless Enforcers and shadowy forces who will stop at nothing to claim the artifact, Nova and Cyn must forge uneasy alliances. From rogue fae warriors to vampires with shifting loyalties, their journey will take them deep into the Undercity and beyond, where danger and betrayal lurk around every corner. The line between allies and enemies blurs, and the weight of destiny presses heavily on their shoulders. In a world where power is the only currency, Nova and Cyn must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice to save a world that may already be lost.
The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.
