Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier
30 parts Complete
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

Amanda is miserable, and feels hopelessly trapped in her life of status. Dick Ryndon, Amanda's ultra-wealthy ex-boyfriend, only saw her as a trophy. He didn't love her, but everyone told her that staying with him was best for her status. That is, right up until the moment when he dropped her off in the country, and left her for dead. Joshua Whitaker is a hard working middle class boy, with a warm heart, and a strong conscience. At 16, he has an after school job, and drives a pick-up. He and his family routinely help-out their elderly neighbors. They are good Samaritans, living out the precept- "love your neighbor." Joshua and Amanda have never liked each other. But when Amanda finds herself stuck in Joshua's family's home, she's exposed to another way of living. Amanda is forced to face herself, her past, and an uncertain future.

PHOENIX - The Rebirth Of Hope by LunaMorgenstern
23 parts Complete
Life is full of events and opportunities drifting in and out. From ordering a pizza while sitting at home to becoming a writer, you can do anything. Absolutely anything. Life has so much to offer....but what does it have to offer to a 12-year-old boy who lives in a slum? Samarth is a poor boy who leads a simple life away from the qualms of the city. His family is poor and by that, I mean, in fact, very poor. Samarth's father and grandfather work on the farm while his mother sings in passenger trains for money. He has a younger brother too who met with an accident a few years back and suffered a great tragedy. The incident left a great hole in Samarth's life and heart, a hole no one except his now incapacitated brother could fill. Samarth felt as if he had been thrown into a black hole. As the heartbreaking event took place, everyone's hopeful eyes shifted to Samarth. It was both despairing as well as painful. The pressure was inexplicable. As the family now could only lean on him to get them out of poverty and get his brother treated, Samarth's shoulders drooped. Can a boy who doesn't do well in studies, is self-doubting and poverty-stricken really reach the sky, achieve his goals and get his family out of poverty as well as his brother treated? Could a mere spark ignite a whole new flame of purpose and belief in himself and be much more than the world perceived of people like him? This book is a symbol of hope for all the poor as well as the rich alike. The story is about showing courage in the face of adversities, fulfilling expectations, never giving up, having confidence in oneself, and being more than people thought... the world thought. The journey to success won't be easy. It is never easy but somehow you just have to believe in yourself, your goal and it will take you to the pinnacle of life.
