In the ashes of a global war, Sewer City rises - a labyrinth of steel and shadow where sunlight never reaches and survival belongs to gangs, guns, and whispers. The Shinkai rule here, their grip forged in blood, opium, and fear.
But four teenagers - a scarred outcast, a mind-bending subhuman, a runaway from the brothels, and the daughter of a wealthy gunlord - refuse to bow. Bound by loyalty and haunted by their pasts, they plot revenge in a world where every ally could be a spy and every word could kill.
As they weave lies, sabotage trade routes, and bend politics to their will, the four discover that becoming the enemy may be the only way to destroy it. Yet the deeper they sink into deception, the thinner the line grows between rebellion and ruin.
And in Sewer City, the Shinkai always know who you are.

Memento Mori
Welcome to the gladiocracy: a futuristic society where the strongest warriors rule as celebrity kings and tyrants. To those at the top goes prestige, power, and absolute rule. But teenage gunslinger Emilia Mori was born at the bottom. Dealt the life of a street rat in neon-soaked hell, Mori swore to do whatever necessary to survive. By eighteen, she's thriving on the reputation of a daredevil, wrangled the apprenticeship of master gunslinger Sarah Morninghawk, and taking any job her undercity home throws her way- the riskier, the better. The only things holding her back are Sarah's heart of gold and dreams of finally uniting the Vents, the exploited and crime-ridden underbelly of their futuristic metropolis. Yet she's not the only one with eyes on the underworld. Hoping to conquer the undercity for their own aims, the foreign crime syndicate Dynasty has no intention of letting the Vents organize itself in a quest for liberation. The syndicate quickly envelops the undercity's eight gang lords in an all-out war of succession. And Mori, caught right in the center of the conflict, finds herself swept up in the tide of criminal politics and tribal gangster warfare...

The End's Chosen (Book one)
PS: I do use AI for grammar and spelling but it is still my story and idea and I still have my own creative direction I did so it is easier for you to be able to read ... A boy wakes up in a broken world, his backpack scattered, his heart heavy with questions. The sky feels too quiet, the shadows too close. Nothing looks familiar-except the weight of betrayal already burning inside him. He doesn't know who to trust. He doesn't even know if the light that saved him is real... or just another lie. But one thing is clear: the world is falling apart, and he's the only one still standing. In a place where hope is shattered and family cuts deeper than enemies, survival isn't enough-you have to fight to keep your soul.

Shattered Sky
PLEASE NOTE: my writing is a lot better now. In the not-so-distant future, the world has been ravaged by climate disasters, economic collapse, and technological overreach. The Earth's atmosphere is barely breathable in some areas, and society is divided into highly controlled, isolated Zones. These Zones are managed by an all-powerful governing body called The Ascendancy, which uses a combination of surveillance, propaganda, and strict population control to maintain order. Beneath the surface, however, a rebellion is brewing. Youth, especially those born in the years after the Ascendancy's rise to power, have begun questioning the truth about the world they live in, and their place in it. In the midst of this unrest, a group of teenagers discovers an ancient artifact, believed to be a key to unlocking the world's true history and the secrets of the Ascendancy's origins.

Gods Under The Dome
[Editors' Choice 2020] In a near-future, post-apocalyptic world, a lone girl must choose between becoming the next-in-line to head a corrupt government or siding with those who wish to see the world burn. Order, suppression and lies, or chaos, truth and freedom? Whatever is chosen, one thing is clear: both sides bleed. ***** Every year, the Federated United Americas tasks its elite soldiers to participate in a nation-wide Cull. Hundreds of children are taken from homes and put into one of three Facilities. While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking government jobs and militia commandos, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the FUA has to offer: The Council. Beckett Blake is known in the Facility as Ten, and she alongside six others branded 'Liars', have spent years enduring confinement and rigorous testing in order to secure a future as head of the FUA. When a terrorist group breaks into the Facility and kidnaps Ten and the others, she's forced to re-examine her future plans. Required to become a drug runner in the mega-city known as Neon Brights, Ten must decide if the future she'd been promised since childhood is worth the lies it's built upon. Will Ten choose the future that's been decided for her, or will she carve out one all her own, even if that path leads to her destruction? Cover by @eosophobiasComplete
