In a future Britain sealed off from the world, silence has become law and truth is a crime.

Seventeen-year-old Ethan Brandt was never meant to lead a rebellion. He only wanted to keep his little sister safe and make it home before curfew. But when a brutal broadcast declares his parents executed for treason, Ethan is forced underground-into the last pocket of resistance left in a country ruled by the merciless dictator Malrick Vane.

Hunted by drones, haunted by grief, and armed only with his mother's cryptic poems, Ethan is drawn into a world of secrets, sabotage, and the whispered legend of The Hollow.

Beside him stands Kaia Merren, a fierce strategist with eyes like stormlight and scars of her own. Together, they uncover a conspiracy buried in memory and blood-one that links their families, their futures, and a betrayal that could shatter them both.

But in a world where truth is manufactured and even silence can kill, what does it mean to lead without losing yourself?All Rights Reserved

Daughter of the Kept (First Book of The Kept Saga) by morakidorayaki

Dessa has spent her entire life confined under her parents' roof, molded to embody the rigid ideal of what a woman should be. But when she learns of the freedom and opportunities her friend from another country enjoys, she begins to question the life that has been forced upon her - and dreams of breaking free. Her chance comes when she enrolls at an academy after years of isolation and homeschooling.

As her knowledge and abilities grow, she earns a place among the Stellars - the elite few destined to shape the future. Yet her path twists into something far greater, revealing that she is not merely one of them, but something else entirely. Something the world is not ready for. What is her family hiding, and why was she denied the truth for so long? What lies beyond the world she thought she knew? And when the veil is lifted, what will Dessa become?

TideBound by PiperHalliwell27

TideBound: The Secrets of the Deep Await She was raised on lies. Now the tide is calling her home. Lena Thorne has spent her life landlocked under strict rules, told she's too sick to swim, too fragile to face the ocean. But on the night of her eighteenth birthday, a boy named Kai pulls her toward the waves-and everything changes. The sea doesn't hurt her. It awakens her. Silver light burns beneath her skin, memories flood her mind, and a hidden power she can't control begins to break free. But her transformation triggers more than ancient magic-it alerts the people who stole her from her real family. Now the CIA is closing in, and Lena's only escape lies in the depths of an underwater kingdom she's never seen but somehow remembers. There, she discovers a father she thought was dead, the legacy of a mother still imprisoned, and a world teetering on the edge of war. But the Deep Fold is no fairy-tale refuge. Allies keep secrets. Enemies circle in the currents. And Kai-the boy she's beginning to trust with her heart-might be keeping the biggest secret of all. The tide has claimed her. The truth will test her. And mercy might be her most dangerous weapon.

Consensus: Part 1 - Citizen by JasonTesar

In a society where morals are determined by a public opinion system, and social rating is the currency, truth can be a dangerous notion. Sixteen-year-old Rena has few memories of her childhood before adoption. The voice of the man who raised her. A forest teeming with wildlife. Mountains reaching up to a blue sky. The problem-they're not real. Such things don't exist in Esh, a self-governed metropolis shielded from the harsh environment by a transparent canopy. And beyond the city lie only the Barrens, an endless wasteland of fog and freezing rain. When Rena's violent instincts save the lives of her friends, her delusional past begins disrupting her prospects for the future. To find the source of her impulses, she'll have to sort through the fragments in her mind. What awaits is a connection between her true identity, the city's forgotten history, and the secret war being waged beneath the surface of her polite society.

Walking away isn't an option, but if she stays too long, the entity will find its next victim. In this world where secrets are sacrosanct and grudges are remembered, finding the truth will be near impossible. Especially when Callan has her own homicidal little secret to deal with.

Different stars, same sky by brumfielddominique

Nova was born to be a weapon. Trained as an elite soldier, Nova once led a team that never came back. After a mission gone devastatingly wrong and a rampage that made even the Guardians fear her, her memories were erased. Now, she's seventeen again-at least on paper-living with distant relatives in a city that doesn't feel like home, attending a militarized academy built on the ruins of her childhood. She remembers her name. She remembers nothing else. Rebellious, haunted, and lost in the blur of a life she doesn't recognize, Nova starts seeing things-echoes of the friends she lost, pieces of her old self. The Elite Guardians are watching her, some suspecting she's faking it. Among them is Kade-cold, unreadable, and strangely familiar. And there are others: students, soldiers, ghosts, and enemies who seem to know more about her than she does herself. As Nova begins to unlock terrifying truths about her past, her powers return-and so do the questions: Who was she before they erased her? Why did her team really die? And what is she truly capable of now? In a world where secrets kill and memories lie, Nova must choose between the girl she was, the weapon they made her, and the future she wants. A story of broken memories, forbidden power, and a love that might cost everything.
