Two sisters. One world in ruins. A bond broken by betrayal.

In the dying remnants of Earth, Kael and Nira Vire have only ever had one rule: stay together or die alone.

Disguised as boys to survive in the brutal rebel faction known as the Irons, the sisters have lived by blade, instinct, and silence. But during a critical mission, Nira hesitates-just once-and it costs their entire unit their lives.

Devastated and furious, Kael walks away, leaving her sister behind in the ash.

Alone and heartbroken, Nira is found by the enemy-the tyrannical Solar Regime. But instead of executing her, they mold her into something new: a weapon, a symbol, a soldier with a cause. Trained to fight and taught to forget, Nira prepares for the Solar Trials, the Regime's blood-soaked spectacle of control.

Meanwhile, Kael claws her way back from the wreckage, now part of a rebel movement planning to bring the Regime down from the inside. Rumors swirl of a deadly girl on the enemy's side-one with Nira's eyes.

As the sisters head toward the same battlefield, one fighting to destroy the system, the other to uphold it, they'll both face a terrible truth:

Sometimes, the person you love most is the one standing in your way.

A Sunken Truth-Book One by IndigoWaters
75 parts Complete
Kaia Rynn has spent her life surviving on the floating islands, diving the ruins of the drowned world for relics to trade. But diving isn't her only skill - she's a thief, nimble with her hands and unafraid to pickpocket the wealthy traders who would never spare her a coin otherwise. Orphaned young and raised by her sister Elara, Kaia has lived alone ever since Elara mysteriously vanished six years ago. The whispers say pirates took her. Kaia has never stopped searching. One night, Kaia's thieving streak finally catches up with her. She's caught in the act by a sharp-eyed stranger - a man named Cassius Vale, who proves far more dangerous than he first seems. Instead of turning her in, Cassius strikes a deal: he'll keep her secret, if she helps him hunt down the pirates who stole his daughter. Reluctantly, Kaia agrees. What begins as an uneasy alliance becomes a partnership built on shared scars. Their search takes them across the drifting islands and into the abyssal depths, where rival divers, ruthless merchants, and storm-lashed seas are the least of their dangers. Kaia and Cassius uncover fragments of the past - relics that hint at pirate strongholds, hidden maps, and even the fate of the family they lost. But the closer they come to the truth, the more perilous their path becomes. The pirates rule the waters with blood and fire, and not all who vanish into their grasp come back the same. As Kaia and Cassius navigate betrayal, discovery, and the growing bond between them, they must face the hardest truth of all: finding their family might not mean saving them.
 Before the Fall: Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder  by Karekarea

She was never meant to survive the story. Qi Yue was just a forgotten name in a tragic novel-a fake daughter, cannon fodder, a girl who died early in a zombie apocalypse no one remembered. But when Lin Yue, a terminally ill girl from the real world, awakens in Qi Yue's body one year before the world falls, she refuses to meet the same end. Armed with foreknowledge of the plot and a mysterious space-type system called AURA, she breaks away from her twisted adoptive family, escapes the shadows of her past, and begins rewriting her fate-brick by brick, bullet by bullet. In a world collapsing under viral mutation and human greed, Qi Yue rises from pawn to player. With cold intelligence and burning compassion, she builds safe zones, tames the wasteland, trains warriors, and uncovers the devastating truth behind the virus-and her own existence. Alongside loyal allies like the reserved but unwavering Shen Jin, she fights back against corrupted power, monstrous mutations, and the very authors of the apocalypse. But survival is never enough. As war ignites and enemies close in, AURA evolves into something more than a system-it becomes family. When the final choice comes, it's not about who wins, but what you're willing to sacrifice for the world you want to protect. From forgotten cannon fodder to commander of humanity's last hope-this is the story of a girl who was never supposed to matter, and how she rewrote the end.

16 parts Complete Mature
After the catastrophic fallout of a radiation bomb, humanity's remnants retreated underground into a bunker built for 400 people. For years, the survivors clung to hope, dreaming of the day Earth would be livable again. That day finally arrives. Kora Meyer, a fiery 19-year-old who has carried the weight of grief since losing her family during the evacuation, is the respected but guarded leader of the group. Her tough exterior hides a deep passion and love for the people under her care. Alongside her stands Xavier Crane, the sharp-tongued yet golden-hearted second-in-command who can lighten any tense moment with a sarcastic remark but secretly harbors an unshakable loyalty to Kora. As they lead their people back to the surface, they find an Earth transformed-not the barren wasteland they expected, but a wild and untamed paradise. However, it's not uninhabited. Scattered across the land are powerful tribes, each with its own traditions, fiercely protective of their resources, and willing to turn hostile when provoked. With danger lurking at every corner and passion igniting between them, Kora and Xavier must navigate the complexities of rebuilding civilization, forging alliances, and keeping their people safe. But as they learn more about the tribes and uncover secrets of the past, the two leaders find themselves drawn to each other in ways they never anticipated. Their chemistry is electric, their connection undeniable-and in a world where survival is uncertain, their love becomes their strongest weapon. When old betrayals and new dangers threaten to destroy the fragile balance of their newfound world, Kora and Xavier must decide how far they're willing to go to protect their people-and each other.
