Sea of Remnants
The sea roared, not with joy, but with fury. Hurricane Belladonna ripped through the underwater kingdom of Aquaris, tearing apart vibrant coral cities and, worst of all, separating Princess Marina from her beloved mother, Queen Mariana. Now, with scales magically transformed into legs and a heart aching for reunion, Marina walks a dangerous tightrope on the surface world. Disguised among the boisterous, rum-soaked docks and salt-laced taverns frequented by pirates, Marina plays the part of a wide-eyed landlubber, her true royal birth a perilous secret. Every hushed conversation, every discarded map, every scurvy-ridden face is a potential clue to her mother's whereabouts. Her quest is fraught with peril, shadowed by the threat of discovery and the crushing weight of her kingdom's loss. But the surface world holds more than just answers. Amidst the raucous clamor of a pirate den, a melody cuts through the chaos. It's Vam, a lanky, sun-kissed banjoist with eyes that dance like seafoam and a smile that disarms even the most hardened buccaneer. Marina, initially drawn by his music, finds herself unexpectedly captivated by his warmth and irreverent charm. Under a canvas of unfamiliar stars, their souls intertwine, a melody of two worlds finding perfect harmony for one unforgettable night. Their clandestine connection ignites a perilous journey, intertwining Marina's urgent search with a forbidden, intoxicating love. As she navigates treacherous waters, dodging suspicious eyes and deciphering cryptic clues, Marina is torn. Will she find her mother and reclaim her past, or will Vam and the exhilarating freedom of the surface world lead her down a path she truly wants to be on - a path where her destiny is her own to choose, even if it means defying the very tides that molded her? It's an action-romance filled adventure that will force Marina to discover not just her queen, but the queen she was always meant to be.

Now they needed to pull together to find some way off of the alien planet covered in oceans and inhabited by undiscovered creatures. But unknown to them, the planet was in serious danger from a bacteria floating within the waters. A mystery that would send Olivia and Brooks diving to the deepest part of the ocean in order to save this planet and themselves.

Once Again
"It's human nature. It's instinct to survive, no matter the cost." The world has fallen into desolation. The apocalypse has already started and finished, leaving some of the surviving ones with strange powers and mysterious scars. The world has ended, according to some, and is now in a state of rebirth. Others say it hasn't ended yet and that it's only going to get worse. The remaining people have grouped together in packs and gangs, raiding the desolate cities and avoiding the ones called the Destroyers, who capture and torture the remaining survivors. No one is safe. One fifteen year old boy knows this better than anyone. He and his older sister lived together, sticking to the dark alleys of their abandoned city, and survived for years after the apocalypse, until the Destroyers came and took her away, reigning terror on the few who remained in the city. The boy, desperate to find someone to help him save his sister, leaves the city and finds one of the youngest cooperative packs in North America, called the Raiders, comprised of unwanted individuals with the strange powers left from the destruction of years past. Their leader, a destructive insomniac, promises to help him in return for the skills and usefulness this young boy seems to possess, but something disrupting sends waves of unease through the Raiders, something about a forgotten past and talk of a mutiny. "Maybe there's more to life than just surviving." ... Rated C for Caution. Though it's rated mature, there is no bad language or vivid descriptions of sexual contact. It does have very strong themes.

He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in.
