"If the sélectionné dies, it all dies."
Drienne Degarmo never knew those words made her a part of something, something that she could never even dream of.
After a family vacation takes a turn for the worst, her life is drastically turned around when her father finally sheds some light on the long-held family secret that has surrounded them their entire life.
She must accept the task of finding, and protecting a family secret stone. A stone capable of healing the world in more ways than what could be deemed possible, and so important and so sacred that the world would cease to exist without it.
With a peculiar enemy set to get his hands on the stone, Drienne must race against time to secure it before anyone else does. But when the lives of millions of people are also at stake, the secret stone isn't the only thing that she could lose.

Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Complete
I Would Break Any Rule For You
Liam Draven Liam Draven was born on the day the world ended. The zombie apocalypse began with his first cries. Raised by his father, Henry Draven-a skilled hunter and leader-Liam's childhood, was spent learning how to fight and survive. His father taught him to lead, to protect, and to never let his guard down. When Henry fell sick, Liam had no choice but to step up as the leader of their group. He wasn't afraid; he had been preparing for this his whole life. The rules were simple: protect the people, destroy the infected, and trust no one outside the group. Liam followed these rules without fail-until the day he didn't. One decision broke everything he believed in and forced him to question what truly mattered. Evelyn Vale Evelyn Vale was not an ordinary zombie. She looked like one, acted like one, but deep inside, part of her was still human. She didn't know why she was different, but she kept it a secret, knowing humans would destroy her if they found out. To survive, Evelyn had to pretend-hide in plain sight among the infected and avoid the living. But when hunters threaten her life, Evelyn is forced to expose her secret to the one person she should fear the most: Liam Draven. She didn't expect him to spare her, let alone change her world. Liam made her feel alive again, but being with him was nearly impossible. For Liam, she was the one exception to the rules. For Evelyn, he was the one person who made her want to fight for something more. Together, they must face a world that sees them as enemies, even as they become each other's salvation-or downfall.

Kadota (Love Trilogy)
In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories.

My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out.

Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. 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.
