The world is clean. Ordered. Safe.
At least, that's what The Accord wants you to believe.
Lyra Vega was never meant to be noticed - just another face behind a screen in a world ruled by surveillance and silence. But when a forbidden file lands in her hands, everything she thought she knew unravels.
A face that shouldn't exist.
A voice that shouldn't know her name.
A government that erases more than just mistakes.
Now she's being watched.
And the only way to survive...
is to become the ghost they fear most.
They made her a number. But she'll rewrite the system.

As the competition intensifies, someone starts sabotaging the heirs one by one.

Trust No One
They woke up in a world they didn't recognize. No names. No memories. No escape. Buried beneath a ruined city called Haven, Clara Taylor and a group of strangers find themselves trapped in a high-tech facility built by someone-or something-not entirely human. Outside, the Earth is silent. Inside, lies pulse through the walls. Every room hides a secret. Every ally could be a spy. And above them, something ancient is watching. As they race to uncover the truth about who they are and why they were chosen, Clara begins to unlock memories that don't belong to her-and a voice in the system calling her "Progenitor." Because Haven isn't just a sanctuary. It's a test. A weapon. A cage. And time is running out. Welcome to the future. Where survival isn't enough... you must remember who to trust.Complete
The Croatoan Calling
It started as a story. The kind you chase for headlines. The kind you don't expect to live. When a string of disappearances brings journalist-in-training Lyra to a quiet, off-the-map town, she thinks it's just another assignment. A historical rabbit hole. A forgotten legend. Then she meets him-Thane. Then she meets him-Keiran. And suddenly, the line between myth and memory starts to unravel. Secrets buried in blood. A name echoing through time: Croatoan. And a girl who was never just a girl. Lyra's not here to write the story. She is the story. If you're into cursed bloodlines, morally gray heirs, enemies who might be something more, and a mystery that spirals into something much bigger than anyone expected... Start reading here.Complete
The Island
"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.

The Fractured City
The city never sleeps. Its veins are steel, its breath recycled, its heartbeat a hum beneath the polished floors. Every corridor, every vent, every flickering screen is watched. Every citizen is measured. Every choice recorded. Lyra Vale knows this. She has always known. And yet, nothing prepared her for the day the city shifted beneath her feet. The day the Test began. The day she learned that her life-and the life of everyone she loves-was not hers to hold, but theirs to calculate. She wakes before the chime, before the turbines thrumming through the sectors. Her sleep is fractured, haunted by light and sound, by voices she shouldn't hear and images she shouldn't see. But even in her dreams, she knows the truth: in this city, potential defines worth, and defiance defines death. Outside, the city hums. Surveillance drones drift silently, lights glinting on steel surfaces. Screens flicker with promises, threats, propaganda: Obedience ensures safety. Defiance ensures extinction. Lyra's heart beats faster. She knows the system, its calculations, its rules-and she knows its one flaw: humans. Humans do not always follow patterns. Humans do not always obey. She does not yet know that she is about to become the anomaly the city cannot process, the variable the Architect cannot contain. That the Test is only the beginning. That the system is watching, and it has begun to speak. And when it does, Lyra will learn that survival is more than following rules-it is learning to fight a machine designed to predict every thought, every fear, every heartbeat. Because in Sector Nine, everything is measured. Except the human heart.![Hidden Within [BOOK 1] | ✔️](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/220030946-256-k595550.jpg)

Confutatis Maledictis
Privacy. Freedom. Justice. These are lies that are perpetrated by the world to give the illusion of free-will. They are the power. They are watching. They are listening. They are tired of your dissent and disobedience. They are coming to delete you from the past, the present and the future. Who will stop them? A group of...I guess you'd call them 'former civil servants' wrestle with the atrocities that they have committed for their government. In a country where privacy, freedom and justice exist only for the people in power, they must decide whether to escape and be free, or stay and fight for redemption, but each has a price.Complete
