The Citadel is nothing more than a memory, crushed beneath the bombs. Its survivors, scattered to the winds, must learn to fight again without walls, without refuge.

Mira and Elijah, faces now known to all, bear the weight of a story the regime is determined to tarnish. Ilya fights to hold onto Mira's voice amid the chaos. Mikel, the disowned heir, discovers a role he never wanted. And Tomasz, once just a worker, chooses at last not to remain a spectator.

In a capital on the brink of implosion, where propaganda collides with whispers of revolt, each must find their place. Between hope and betrayal, sacrifice and promise, the war is no longer a rumor-it reaches into every street.

And this time, there is no turning back.All Rights Reserved

But when a forgotten curse resurfaces after a failed mission to exterminate it, it threatens to expose the lies buried beneath their perfect system. Now, with the weight of truth on her shoulders, Blair-leader of the Investigations Team-must uncover the secrets that could save both the family she's sworn to protect and General Nevedez himself.

The Perfect Little Town by SeKoixaRubio

New town. New friends. And a secret that could destroy them all. When Kai Caldwell, a privileged socioeconomics student with a minor in bioethics, moves to a quiet town for college, he expects small-town life to be... normal. That is, until his friend's girlfriend lands an internship at the town's prestigious Cancer Institute-and then disappears. Talia Torres, a determined public health policy student, has spent her life chasing justice after the death of her sister, who fell victim to the Institute's early research programs. She doesn't trust anyone tied to power-especially Kai Caldwell, whose father runs the Institute with what seems to be a dark agenda. As strange illnesses begin to spread, and the line between life and death blurs, Kai and Talia are forced together. With secrets, lies, and a deadly outbreak threatening the town, they must decide: who can they trust... and who will survive? Thrilling, morally complex, and with a slow-burn romance, this is a dystopian tale where the cure might be worse than the disease.

What Remains by GeekyFrreaky

You've been alone so long, you've forgotten how to be anything else. Cities have become graveyards, and hope is just another thing that gets you killed. You survive by hiding, stealing, and trusting no one-until Dabi chains you to his wrist and makes your fate his own. As you navigate the ruins together, every moment is a fight-for survival, for dominance, for scraps of mercy in a brutal world. But when the line between captor and companion blurs, you realise sometimes the only way out is through the fire.

Restore Me. by Bellarosey97

In a world gripped by a second Great Depression, where poverty and conflict have torn society apart, Ariella struggles to survive in the midst of a devastating pandemic that has unleashed the undead-crawlers-upon the earth. Haunted by betrayal and heartbreak, Ariella flees her shattered past and stumbles upon a group of survivors hiding in the wreckage of civilization. But trust is a scarce commodity, and the group's wary leader, Jonah finds that Ariella's presence stirs something in him-an unease, a flicker of vulnerability he'd rather keep buried. Desperate to prove her worth and carve out a place in their fragile community, Ariella must navigate a labyrinth of suspicion and old wounds. As she battles the monsters beyond the cave walls-and the ones within her own heart-she finds herself at a crossroads: will she surrender to the darkness of her past, or fight to forge a new identity in the ruins of the world? In this gripping tale of survival, love, and second chances, Ariella's journey will test the boundaries of loyalty, the weight of betrayal, and the true meaning of family in a world where hope is as scarce as a beating heart.
