Born to Break Barriers
In a world gripped by control and fear, women have vanished from power-silenced by a mysterious virus unleashed by a ruthless organization of men known only as The Order. But one girl refuses to be erased. She remembers a time before the rules changed. Before girls were forced into hiding, before hope was outlawed. She has no name to give-not anymore. But she has a mission. And it starts with a trail of red ivy, a safehouse cloaked in shadows, and a projection of a mother she hasn't seen in months. When a charming but suspicious boy named Luke crosses her path, everything shifts. He's too kind, too helpful-and he knows more than he should. As danger closes in and a deadly tracker follows their every move, the girl must decide if she can trust the one person who might be lying to her... or if she's walking straight into a trap. Secrets will be exposed. Bonds will be broken. And in a world built to destroy her, she will uncover what she was born to do. She wasn't made to obey. She was born to break barriers.Concluida
Evolution Fear
This story is set in the future world in 3237, where a genetic mutation has arisen within the human gene system. This genetic mutation is called an Evolution. These Evolutions allow for those who carry them, Evol's, to be smarter, stronger, faster, and more aware than their more human counterparts. They also have special abilities that the new world has deemed dangerous. McKenna is an Evol caught in the mix. When she is found and imprisoned, she thinks all hope is lost until she meets two undercover rebel Evol's working under the nose of the Federal Nations. The rebels came there for something else, but decided to break McKenna out of the prison in the process. She is faced with a choice. Join the rebels or go her own way.
They Made Us Monsters
In a world ruled by disease, fear, and government control, survival is no longer a choice-it's a rebellion. After a virus devastates the population, the U.S. government uses the crisis to seize control, turning teenagers into test subjects in brutal experiments meant to create super-soldiers. Those who are captured vanish into labs where their memories are wiped, their bodies are altered, and their identities are erased. Those who escape are left with scars-and the crushing guilt of the ones they couldn't save. Artemis Cross was never supposed to be a leader. But when she's captured and stripped of everything she knows, she becomes Subject 88, forced into a nightmare of pain, injections, and psychological warfare. Her mind begins to fracture-but one memory refuses to die: Z, the boy who once held her together, the boy she can't forget no matter how deep they dig into her brain. Outside the walls, Z is haunted by her absence. He can't eat, sleep, or breathe without seeing her face. As he and a fractured group of survivors drive through a collapsing America-riddled with graffiti, riots, and people fighting to the death over scraps-Z promises he'll find Artemis, even if he has to tear the system down piece by piece. But the deeper they get into the truth, the more twisted it becomes. Friends begin to betray each other. Love starts to fracture. And the world they thought they knew is far more dangerous than they ever imagined. Because this isn't just about surviving the system anymore. It's about burning it to the ground.Concluida
