In a city built on silence, two teenagers become the spark that brings memory back to life.
Elian Vire-raised in the mountains, shaped by a mother's war and a father's betrayal.
Stacy Maren-sharp, hidden, the last echo of a lullaby that once made a system tremble.
When a mysterious copper plate binds their bloodlines to a vanished archive named Astra, Elian and Stacy are thrust into the heart of a truth that the Bureau buried long ago. Hunted by soldiers with no faces, haunted by parents who left secrets in their wake, the two must outrun the past and ignite a rebellion that doesn't wear guns-but carries stories like fire.
As history reawakens and the city begins to burn from within, Elian and Stacy must choose: survive separately... or rise together.
Because some revolutions don't roar.
Some revolutions remember.
And some? Some are written in flame.

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."

Celestial Divide: Shattered Stars
It was a breathtaking celestial event-brilliant, beautiful, unforgettable. But no one could have foreseen what would come next. When the sky broke, everything changed. The Convergence was supposed to be a wonder - a celestial event etched in fire and light across the heavens. But when the stars fell, they didn't bring answers. They brought power. And ruin. In the shattered city of Porthaven, Ivy awakens to a fire burning beneath her skin - not a gift, but a burden. Hunted, imprisoned, and studied by a man who claims to shape destiny, she escapes into a world on the brink of collapse. But freedom comes with questions no one can answer: Why her? Why now? And how do you fight when the enemy wears your face? As rebellion sparks in hidden camps and whispers of power ripple through survivors, Ivy must choose what kind of flame she wants to be - a weapon of vengeance, or a light to lead others home. Beautifully haunting and fiercely hopeful, Celestial Divide is a story of fire and fracture, of identity forged in ashes - and a girl who refuses to burn quietly.Complete

The Same Old City
Imagine living in a city that does not allow you to leave at all, exploits you as a person, student, and worker from the day you are born, determines and assigns the "perfect" job for you before you are born, does not allow you any personal freedoms (unless it is alone in your bedroom or bathroom with caution). It will torture or execute, depending on the status or identity of the person, if any law is broken no matter how small or big the law is. That's the city of Dimwar. Tall, thick concrete walls around its borders prevent anyone and everyone from leaving the city- anyone who tries will be searched, chased down, and executed. One teen girl, Taylor Kensley, begins a revolution to change this and fight for the trapped, oppressed people of the city. Will she succeed-- and how long will it take? WHAT will it take? And what will she have to lose to get there? **WARNING: Contains mature scenes with mentions of physical abuse, emotional abuse, domestic violence, self-harm, suicide, murder, and bigotry.
