adventure cyberpunk dystopian romance sci-fi

In a world split between the gleaming towers of the Skyborn and the smoke-choked ruins of the Groundborn, science has become magic-wielded by the powerful, stolen by the desperate, and rewritten by the brave.

Rhea Santos was once Skyborn-born of wealth, privilege, and artificial perfection. But betrayal and tragedy hurled her into the world below, where the air is thick with smog and the only light comes from rusted neon. Now a rebel in exile, Rhea fights not just for survival, but for something she was never meant to feel: justice.

Kael Vortan is the reluctant heir to one of the SkyDome's ruling dynasties. With fire in his blood and rebellion in his heart, he walks the knife's edge between duty and destruction. When his path collides with Rhea's, sparks ignite-fueled by secrets, longing, and the shared weight of two worlds on the brink of war.

As class lines blur and loyalties shift, the duo must choose: conform to a system designed to break them-or become the storm that brings it down.All Rights Reserved

My heart raced as I watched him tentatively lifting his hand to reach mine. Then I saw it. A flash of white in corner of my vision. Turning my focus away from the man, I focused on the white shape behind him. Craning my neck, I tried to inspect it further but my confusion only grew when I recognized it to be a patch of white feathers. Wait...feathers?

The Island by AmyJohnson895

"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.
