Stolen Breath
Elara knew Oakhaven was dreary. She just didn't know it was deadly. After the sudden loss of her parents, eighteen-year-old Elara is exiled to the perpetually rain-soaked, isolated town of Oakhaven. The moment she arrives, she feels the oppressive weight of the forest-a place where the shadows whisper and the air hums with forgotten magic. One restless night, she dares to cross the boundary into the ancient woods and meets the town's oldest secret: Cassian. He's dangerously beautiful, utterly cold, and has been frozen in time for two hundred and fifty-four years. Cassian is the Warden, bound by an unbreakable covenant sealed by Elara's ancestors centuries ago. His silver eyes are the only light in the gloom, and his gaze tells her everything she needs to know: the waiting is over. Elara carries the final payment. Cassian came to collect the debt. The cost of his freedom might be her life, but the magnetic pull between them is a terrifying promise of a fate they can't escape.Complete![THE REASONS // Bellamy Blake - The 100 [book 3; inproces]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/395219197-256-k400203.jpg)
THE REASONS // Bellamy Blake - The 100 [book 3; inproces]
Book III: The Reasons - when the world ends, what's left to live for Three months have passed since the tragedy at Mount Weather, but the scars it left behind are still raw, still bleeding beneath the surface. The cost of survival is no longer measured in lives lost - but in souls shattered. Peace was promised, yet all they've found is silence where laughter used to be, tension where unity once stood. And for Madison, the silence has become deafening. The abuse she thought she left behind has only grown darker, more consuming. Every bruise hidden beneath layers of clothing, every glance over her shoulder, is a reminder that her war never really ended. She's been forced to run. Alone in the wilderness, hunted by those who want to take her power, she must find a way to survive with nothing but her instincts, her pain, and the crushing weight of guilt. All around her, the world teeters on the edge of collapse. A.L.I.E has risen from the shadows of the old world, a digital ghost with a god complex, whispering promises of peace through control, order through annihilation. The lines between right and wrong blur as survival grows more brutal, and each of them must face their own demons while trying to hold onto the last pieces of their humanity. Loyalties will be tested. Friendships will fracture. And love, in the face of such relentless loss, will be both a refuge and a battlefield. For Madison, the journey ahead is not just a fight for survival - it's a reckoning. Her addiction claws at her like a second skin, her guilt threatens to consume her from within. She is broken. But the fate of the human race may rest in her hands. And in the end, she must answer the hardest question of all: Can someone so damaged be the one to save them all?

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.Complete
