A Thousand Cuts explores the events of a single day of unrest in modern England, following an eclectic range of characters through growing chaos, sparked by the announcement of a controversial parliament bill. Drawn from disparate social backgrounds, the consequences of these characters' actions-not only for themselves, but for those whose lives they are scarcely even aware of-become apparent, as the unrest spirals out of control into a devastating series of nationwide riots

Sweepings of the Street [EXCERPT] de amanda_denney_writes
4 de capitole Complet
Twelve-year-old Sarah Lee longs to remain in the golden fields under a starry sky forever, but life has other plans for her. After the bleak spring of 1816 yields meager crops, Sarah's family flees its home in the English countryside to labor at a textile factory in newly industrial London. A factory accident several months later leaves Sarah's father out of work and her family desperate for money. Despite the worries of her older brother Thomas, Sarah disguises herself and ventures into a dangerous new job. Sarah soon learns that life in London is not as simple as it seems. She meets Jamie, a sullen, aggressive boy who helps her adjust to the new conditions. But Jamie has dark secrets of his own, and his reluctance to trust strangers clashes with Sarah's burning curiosity about his past. As the city creeps towards winter, Sarah and her friends stand face-to-face with the horrors of London poverty-rising prices, rampant crime, disease, and hopelessness-and it becomes clear that not everyone will make it out alive. Everyone has a secret, and the consequences can be more devastating than any of them can imagine. "Dark, emotionally gripping, highly researched... very impressive." "Deeply moving and heart-wrenching, it will forever leave a mark on my heart." - anonymous readers WARNINGS: This excerpt contains descriptions of physical injury and child abuse.

Warning ⚠️⚠️This book contains mentions of mental abuse, depression, physical abuse, drugs, alcohol, murder, underage drinking, suicide, discussions of suicide, torture, strong language, and explicit sexual content. Reader discretion is advised. Humanity faces extinction once again. A coming nuclear apocalypse, known as Praimfaya, threatens to annihilate all life. Lexa discovers this impending disaster at the end of the previous book, and the stakes have never been higher. Two children, Nora and Aden...absent from Lexa and Skyla's lives...suddenly return, forcing the pair to confront both past and present in a fight for survival. Clans are fractured and tensions run high, and Lexa and Skyla must unite everyone under a single banner and secure a safe bunker to endure the coming devastation. Before the bunker and the crucial conclave, Skyla faces a dangerous attack that sets off a chain of events neither she nor Lexa could foresee. The aftermath changes the course of their lives forever, challenging their trust, strength, and bond. After a series of devastating events, including the conclave where Lexa declares unity for all clans, the bunker becomes a stronghold for Skyla and Lexa. Eventually, Lexa entrusts Octavia to watch over the clans while she, Skyla, Clarke, and thirteen others escape to an island. On the island, Skyla uncovers the truth that will alter Lexa and her future. Clarke and eleven others escape into space, believing Skyla sacrificed herself to save them. Skyla, in turn, believes Lexa and the children abandoned her. Yet Lexa and the two children remain on Earth, their fates uncertain. Weeks later, a six-year-old Nightblood named Madi is found by Skyla, Lexa, and the reunited children, surviving the fallout of Praimfaya. But the six years of peace shatters when a space prison transport unexpectedly lands on Earth. Loyalties shift, survival is threatened, and strangers bring new dangers, placing humanity's future on a knife's edge again.

33 capitole În curs de desfăşurare Pentru adulți

What if Clarke got sent down years before the 100 and landed in Azgeda territory? The 12 year old Clarke gets sent down to earth after her father discovers a problem with the life support systems. The re-entry damages her capsule and she just barely survives the landing. An azgedan warrior finds her and takes care of her. Soon Clarke starts to train to become a great warrior. What will happen when the Ice Queen declares war on the commander? And how will Clarke change? Will she keep thinking that life should be about more than just surviving? I will mark chapters with smut with ✨. Saw that in another book (We're just friends (also Clexa)) and thought it was a great idea. Also it's my first time writing smut so it could be terrible. Currently editing the story to get an overview again. Edited: 3/30 I do not own most of the characters except for OCs.
