ataraxia (at-uh-rak-see-uh) - a state of serene calmness

Ambition is faulty. Often, instead of gaining serendipity, people wish for more.

When faced with the epiphany that life is worth more, Vera drops her entire life disappearing off grid. In her search for serenity, she encounters a race of people with a society based around connections to each-other and the earth rather than constant ambition. After falling asleep during a chilly evening, Vera, faced with a world where she is nothing, will have to decide if this is truly what she wants or will she do everything in her power to go back to the way things were?  What about the one she connected with?All Rights Reserved

Echo of Solace by TheresaMMISB

In a dystopian future where Earth's resources have been depleted, the world's last city is protected by a magical barrier known as Solace, which also prevents people from aging. Life inside the city is perfect, but the barrier is deteriorating, and soon everything outside it will seep in. The inhabitants live in blissful ignorance of the outside world, but one young woman, Elyse, begins hearing whispers-echoes of memories from a world long lost. She starts uncovering secrets of the city's past, including a hidden love story between two scientists who created the barrier, and a plan to save the world that was abandoned years ago. As Elyse digs deeper, she uncovers more than she ever bargained for. The echoes she hears aren't just memories-they're the voices of people who lived before the barrier was erected. Some of them want to help her, while others want to stop her from discovering the truth.

My Fucked Up Fairytale by pinenutters

TEASER: "No fiancée of mine needs to learn how to fight." His breath flows upon the prickling skin of my neck. I close my eyes, involuntarily shuddering in response. "All you need to know how to do is satisfy me." "How exactly am I supposed to satisfy you?" The answer to such a question is obvious, yet, like the idiot I am, I still asked him. "Blood...and of course, other means." BLURB: When college student Cyra finds her life falling apart after a brutal breakup, she wishes for an escape-only to awaken in a realm filled with sword-wielding vampires, deadly elves, and more fantastical creatures. Unfortunately for Cyra, she's been chosen to marry a powerful vampire prince... and kill him. Trapped between survival and a dagger with a destiny, she must navigate a world where fairytales come soaked in blood, sarcasm, and forbidden attraction.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

A Dance with Darkness and Light: Re-Origination by OGCarrel

Wordcount: 88.33K A bully in school, a parasite as a grown-up. The shadow of a man. A shunned member of society. Such are the descriptions given if one asked about a certain young man, but he couldn't care less. All that mattered to him was his mission, vengeance. Nothing could stop him in his tracks until one day his parents died. Though even that lasted only until the emptiness overcame him once again. At the beginning of his mission, there were five torches lighting his path, now, even the last one ceased at the flicker of its final light. After that, in an effort to join her, he also extinguished his light. Yet fate is a fickle mistress, and you should be careful what you wish for...because the Lord of the underworld seemed determined to send him into a different world. With his protest ignored he was swiftly dropped into the body of a recently deceased prince. Plunged into the seat of a kingdom, overflowing with intrigue and schemes. In a world, as our "prince" will soon learn, vastly different from Earth. Now known as the fourth prince of Ralun, Bazuul Ylvazad, he has to adjust and learn quickly if he wishes to survive. Something he himself isn't quite sure of. The question though is, did he really have another option? Obviously death didn't work. ~~~ Ytolan map: https://imgur.com/zwmHOb8 Seven Kingdoms map: https://imgur.com/a/CIunFJd www.instagram.com/og_carrel www.patreon.com/og_carrel

For twenty-three years, Zareth has walked among humans, watching, evaluating, and preparing to decide their fate. Sent from a world where logic reigns and emotion is weakness, he sees Earth as a planet filled with fragile, irrational beings unworthy of salvation. He longs for the moment he can return home and leave this chaotic world behind. But everything changes when he meets Mira. Mira is human-soft-spoken, full of life, and completely unaware of the ancient forces lurking in the shadows. When Zareth is drawn to her in a way he cannot explain, he begins to question everything he was raised to believe. Love was never meant to be part of his mission. Choosing her means forsaking his people, his duty, and the honor of his bloodline. But choosing his destiny means losing her forever. As Zareth's ruthless brother, Dain, is sent to hunt him down and erase his disgrace, Mira is thrust into a war she never knew existed. Now, Zareth must make an impossible choice: embrace his heritage and return to his people, or defy the only life he has ever known for a love that could destroy them both. A story of forbidden love, destiny, and the battle between logic and emotion, this fantasy romance will pull you into a world of dragons, honor, and a choice that could change the fate of two worlds.

Touch: Awakening by AmandaKByrne

The first touch burns. The second will change her life. In the future, humans will never see each other face to face. Technology will facilitate all interactions, from emails to spoken conversations to a hike up a tree-lined mountain. They'll rely on machines to provide them with their basic needs and favorite indulgences, and they'll never know another person's touch. This is the world Alexis is born into. A grad student slated to become impregnated in a few months' time, Lexi's been struggling with her wild and reckless thoughts. Why aren't they allowed to question the Government's decisions? What if her friend, Parker, is right, and the pill regimen they're on deadens their sense of touch? And why does her heart stop and her chest squeeze whenever she's around Drew? Drew's a dangerous man. He asks the questions she's afraid to voice and makes her think. Makes her wonder. Makes her yearn. He promises to help her find the answers, the two of them fumbling toward something they don't understand. The first touch is painful, the second one less so. Each one awakens feelings Lexi has no words for, until she craves Drew like an addict needing a fix. As they discover what the Government has kept from them all their lives, they fight to find a way to have it all - even as it threatens to destroy them forever. **** Later chapters contain situations intended for a mature audience. Consider yourself warned :)
