Four unmarked survivors. One totalitarian government. A fight to keep their humanity intact. 

100 years into the future, the E-91 virus has thrust the world into chaos. 

For Rachel Wilson, survival hasn't come easy. For the last fifteen years, she's lived in the wilderness, just out of reach of the Council of Nations. 

Until one day, poachers--the section of law enforcement tasked with hunting the Unmarked--raid her home and she is forced to go on the run.

Weary from the attack, but certainly not broken, she ventures into a dangerous world with only her fiery determination to survive.

In what appears to be a stroke of good luck, she is rescued by an underground movement working towards bringing down the capital or die trying. 

Death over mark, that had always been the mantra. 

Because the alternative-becoming a mind-controlled soldier to fight the capital's war-was a fate worse than death.

! NO LONGER WRITING THIS VERSION OF THE STORY - PLEASE GO TO MY PROFILE AND SEE MY BOOK 'The Monster's Stratagem' FOR THE 2.0 VERSION ! * * * Highest Ranking: #8 in Adventure 19/11/17 Added to Wattpad's official adventure page reading list 'Fantastical Adventures' 05/12/17 * * * In the distant future of 3274, monsters rule the Earth. No one knows why or how they came onto the blue planet but that doesn't really matter anymore. One by one the humans started to disappear and were replaced by monsters until all that was left of them were their cities and knowledge. Legend has it that human survivors still exist and are living in the depths of a forest, right on the doorstep of the capital monster kingdom, Zyire. Protected and concealed by a magical border that burns monsters if they attempt to enter, the humans wait patiently for the right opportunity to strike and take back what once was theirs. 18 year-old human survivor Dawn lives within the borders of the forest, or as the humans call it, the Base. In the Base, the humans are separated into three groups; the Service, the Watchers and the Venturers. It is the Service's job to cook, what little food they have, and to heal the injured and sick. It is the Watcher's job to hide in the trees and scan the clearing, that lies before the forest's border, for monsters on the Venture days. It is the Venturers job to leave the forest borders on Venture days, and run into desolate cities to steal food, bedding and supplies that they need to survive. There is only one rule; never get caught. Venturer Dawn finds herself in a dangerous situation when she breaks the one rule. Dawn is caught by a monster, and not just any monster, but a monster who works as a Protector for their kind. Dawn soon learns that there are more to monsters than meets the eye. © 2016 by Heather Darte

[New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

Reader Comments: "I'm gonna gush about your book real quick...all the technology has a purpose and is beautifully explained so I can picture it in my mind...the whole concept of the book is completely original...*moment of silence for your beautiful arch of character development* everything your characters do is strictly them but they develop enough to show more about themselves without you straight up telling the reader about them" -Vairl9023 "Ahh!!!

~Highest rank~ #1 alienplanet (19/4/2023) || ×46 Award-winning book || After a great war wiped out the Elevanas and the Glorindians, the last survivor fled to Earth. Seventeen-year-old Fiona Cinderblock learned the way of humans; she got admission into Dian High School in Magnolia. Fiona tried to keep a low profile but her incredible skills exposed her every time. She rejected potential friends and connections to protect her secret identity; it was dangerous to grow fond of any human. ... Louis Walter, the son of the richest billionaires in town, is described as one with sass and smiles. People wondered what he didn't have-fame, money, a chiseled body, good looks-but bad grades. He had undergone intensive training since he was a kid and succeeded in all aspects except academics. Louis is reminded he's a wasted investment at the end of each semester by his father. Years passed and Louis got used to the name-calling. He accepted he was never good enough-but he wanted to pass his college exams. How could he prove his father wrong when he failed basic tests? ... These two worlds crossed paths-had a rusty start but slowly began to learn and grow together. Feelings crept in and they got comfortable with each other. Fiona loved Louis more when he opened up about his challenges, but he couldn't confess his love to her. As much as Fiona wanted to tell him about herself, she didn't. "What if he hates me? What if something goes wrong?" Louis found out about her secret in the most unpredictable way-when Fiona thought it was over, she had just unlocked another mystery. ©Kikibtsstan 2020

Some fates are worse than death--survival is one of them. In the two hundred years since humanity left the Earth's surface to live in the sky, life on the ground faded to a myth, a tragic memory from which they severed themselves to survive. They floated above continents turned to sand and lands swallowed by the seas, watched storm after storm rage against their cities and their monuments until they broke apart the last vestiges of civilization in penance for generations of human greed. As a lightning harvester charged with flying her ship into these storms for energy, Raina has seen more of the planet than most. She has spent her entire life soaring above its craters and scars, studying the gaping wounds of human devastation, as she honed her skills and became the youngest captain in storm-chaser history. Her ship has flown for generations. Her skills are unparalleled. But none of that matters the day they go down. ~ Praise for Earth, After: "I'm so not ready for this ending. I will reread this for sure. It's honestly my favourite work on wattpad ever, and among my best reads in general, it's insane. I love your creativity!"
