The Ring of Acies by SamScheufler

Thousands of years into the future, humanity reaches for the stars. Hundred of worlds in the milky way galaxy have been colonized and are now inhabited by humans. Massive atmosphere processors are built on the surface changing the composition of the planet's air to better suit humans. Atmosphere processing is a delicate process that takes generations to complete. While the planet is being terraformed, the future population of the colony lives on a massive ring station built around the planet. On the far edge of the galaxy lies Acies, the most recent colony project of the powerful Eftai corporation. Terrine Zafas was born and raised on Initium Station, which surrounds Acies, and has lived there her whole life. When the engineering firm where she works is tasked with a vague and unusual assignment, Terrine is suspicious about the goals and motives of Initium's planetary operations organization. Her suspicions are only heightened when a strange alien creature with bizarre abilities appears on the station.

Sacrifice by Elizabeth_Moulton

Kalli wants to make her own decisions, something that's frowned upon when you're a young lady of noble birth in the Imkan Empire. She's thrilled when she manages to enroll in the local University's astrophysics program; it's her first step towards independence. Her studies lead her to make friends with the Cirts, a group of outcasts who share her love of science. Kalli knows that if her father ever finds out that she's risking the family's good name he'll marry her off to an older Count, someone her father can trust to keep Kalli under control, by force if necessary. Kalli catches the eye of the Crown Prince and society expects her to be flattered by the attention. Instead, she sees the Prince as a self-centered prig and calls him out on it, to his face. Kalli's contrary nature and honesty fascinate the Prince and he pursues her. Even as Kalli struggles for independence her proximity to the Prince draws her into Imperial politics and the tension between the Emperor and the Cirts. Now the girl who wanted to make all of her own decisions is going to have to decide if her new friends are worth opposing the Emperor. Because people who oppose the Emperor usually end up dead.

The Cadre of Embers by amberrhymerofficial

•••••••••••••••• He took a step closer to her, and she took one away from him. "When two people make love, it is sensual, two hearts bonding, and caring for one another. It's slow and gentle and undemanding. It's just you and the person you love, and nothing else in the world matters." She didn't know when he'd gotten so close to her, but her eyes burned as she read the slight expression that flashed across his own eyes... sorrow, as if perhaps remembering something, or someone from his past. She didn't know why it made her chest hurt, he was only a brute after all... •••••••••••••••• Set against the enchanting backdrop of mid-18th century England, "The Cadre of Embers" unfolds the extraordinary journey of Althea Lezant, a young and unmarried woman disillusioned by societal constraints on women. Althea's life takes an exhilarating turn when she discovers her unique ability to manipulate the fourth dimension. Upon first use of this newfound power, she is sought out by a hidden society of individuals with diverse abilities of their own. Driven by curiosity and a thirst for purpose, Althea delves into this enigmatic world, leaving behind the mundane pursuit of suitors. Within the society's embrace, she learns the intricacies of her magical abilities and the vastness of their universe. Yet, Althea senses that profound secrets still elude her, mysteries that might hold the key to her ultimate destiny. "The Cadre of Embers" is a spellbinding tale of love, empowerment, self-discovery, and the latent potential within us all. For those who yearn to escape the confines of ordinary existence, this is a journey you won't want to miss.
