In a world teetering on the brink of collapse, where food is more precious than gold and survival is a daily battle, The Harvest Trials are the only hope-and the greatest terror. Each year, one unlucky soul from each city-state is chosen to compete in a brutal competition for the resources that will sustain their people for the next year.
Rae never wanted to be chosen. A quiet orphan from a forgotten city, she's spent her life fixing broken tech and dreaming of something better. But when a glitch forces her into the Trials, Rae is thrust into a high-tech arena where the environment shifts with every heartbeat-one moment a lush jungle, the next a freezing wasteland. There are no weapons. There are no rules. Only survival.
With no combat skills and only her sharp mind for fixing machines, Rae must outwit her deadly competitors, navigate treacherous terrain, and uncover the dark secrets that lie behind the Trials. The more she uncovers, the clearer it becomes-this isn't just a game. The Trials were never about fairness. They're about control.
To win, Rae will have to fight not just for herself, but for the future of her world. But in a game where the odds are stacked against her, who can she trust? And when the arena starts to show cracks, will Rae be able to break free from a system that has bound humanity for centuries?
The Harvest Trials is a heart-pounding dystopian thriller, a tale of survival, rebellion, and the fight for a future where hope still exists.

Shatter The Line
In the stratified city of Veridia, divided into the privileged Aristocratic Zone and the oppressed Inferior Zone, the annual Trial of Passage offers a desperate few a chance at a better life - or so they believe. Sora Vance, driven by the disappearance of her brother during the last Trial, enters this brutal competition with a hidden agenda. But a malfunctioning VoxChip, the very technology used to control the city's inhabitants, begins to grant her unsettling whispers - fragmented data and alien thoughts that hint at a deeper, darker truth behind the Crown's carefully constructed reality. As Sora navigates treacherous trials of endurance, wit, and survival, she uncovers a hidden resistance fighting in the shadows and forms an unlikely alliance with a cynical Bourgeois contender and a conflicted Aristocrat. Together, they will unravel the Crown's insidious secrets; the true purpose of the Trial, the horrifying capabilities of the VoxChips, and the lies that maintain the rigid divide. Prepare for a gripping tale of rebellion, unlikely alliances, and the fight for truth in a world built on lies. This story explores themes of social injustice, the power of information, and the courage it takes to break free from systemic oppression. The whispers are just the beginning... will Sora and her allies shatter the Crown's control and ignite a revolution?Concluida
One Life
Fire and Ice. Night and Day. One Life: the competition that unites them. . . . After a catastrophic event that caused the sun and the moon to remain stagnant on each side of the world, the human race was nearly eradicated, with nations wartorn and millions lost to wars and natural disasters. The Anchoring, as it's called, had very few survivors. However, those who did rose up to the challenge. The Republic of Atla, once known as North America, managed to survive the Anchoring, with new generations being born with side effects from the disaster and further establishing its power. Upon defeating the other nations for domination, its two coasts were separated into sectors: the powerful Onasa on one side, ruled by the sun, and the weakened Vale on the other, ruled by the moon. In the centre of Atla lies a land where light meets dark; a paradise for the affluent and powerful. Stories of the paradise are a beacon of hope for the less fortunate sector citizens. Everyone hopes they will get a chance to move there, but there is only one way: by competing in the One Life Competition-a yearly contest created by Atla's elites to grant two lucky sector teens the opportunity to find paradise-and winning. Valerie Arderis of the Onasa intends to do just that. So does Kane Hinata of the Vale. . . .Concluida
Exile: The Book of Ever
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.Concluida
