You don't always get what you want, but if you're lucky, you might get what you need.
For one week only, an impenetrable castle is open to the public, and Dale Armstrong has come to Bratislava to rob it. When he finds his partner's arms mangled, he desperately searches for a way to fix him before time runs out.
Because the war in the Far East is sapping all the allied nation's resources, only The Nightingale Circus has the spare parts, the power, and the expertise to fix prosthetics and help the injured, but nothing is free.
Unfortunately, Dale doesn't know about The Nightingale Circus's side job, but a forced encounter with the most dangerous woman in the city, the Golden Lady, sends him their way. On this roller coaster of crazy twists and flips, schemes and deceit, wishes and dreams, no one can foresee how the aerialist will land.
Anything is possible in a world of Broken People.

"Neon Without Wires" Elisabeth Wissenfurth (Lizzy Wizzy) x female AU Story
In an alternate Night City, the infamous V never became a mercenary. Born in the blood-soaked alleys of Heywood's slums, V carries the raw grit of a Streetkid, but a rare genetic condition prevents her from ever receiving cybernetic implants - a cruel irony in a society where progress is flesh-deep. But this limitation becomes her power. V becomes a pop sensation - the only "Natural" singer in Night City - marketed as the last pure human voice. No digital filters. No synth-vocal enhancements. Just unaltered breath, pain, and sound. And in the chrome-drenched world of faux idols, she becomes an icon... and a target. Rogue Amendiares, the Queen of Afterlife, takes V under her wing, not as a fixer, but as a protector. She sees V not as a product, but as a daughter - a rare chance at redemption for the people she couldn't save. Rogue funds her rise, guards her soul, and shapes her career from the shadows. But when Lizzy Wizzy - cyber-sculpted superstar and philosophical narcissist - becomes obsessed with V, the story spirals into a psychological and romantic war between identity, technology, and control. Lizzy wants V. Not just the body. Not just the voice. But the soul untouched by chrome. She wants to understand it. To own it. To love it... if she can. And V? She can't tell if she wants to destroy Lizzy, become her, or be consumed by her.Complete

He shakes his head but doesn't say anything, I watch as He places his hand over my heart, I'm sure he can feel how fast it's beating.

FRACTURED: A Broken Series Companion Novel (Damaged, Book 4) (PREVIEW)
They thought they had everything figured out, but the one thing they didn't plan for was me. "A gripping, fast-paced novel that will keep you guessing until the very end." ONE MINUTE AND TEN SECONDS... Without life. Without a heartbeat. Without breath. Without thought. That's how long I was able to abandon my heartache before the doctors were able to revive me. I know I should've been thankful for the miracle because not many people get to experience death and live to tell about it. Yet, as I lied in a sterile hospital room, reliving the moment I became a martyr for the woman who no longer wanted me, who returned her heart to the hands of my best friend, my heart felt the weight of some brutal truths...I'd lost my girl, my mobility, and my life. I failed to swallow this bitter pill of my new reality and was left alone to wallow in what could've been. I took it out on the people unlucky enough to have to care for me-including the beautiful blonde with chocolate brown eyes, wearing scrubs and a smile that helped me forget the pain that put me there. But I left her ten months ago, and I didn't expect to see her again. At the same mall. About thirty feet away. With a man's arm wrapped around her neck, restraining her. And he's not alone. His men have taken everyone hostage, he's holding her for ransom, and no one is getting out alive unless I risk it all again. ____________ Fractured is the first book in a three-book series of companion novels for the Broken series. Each book can be read as a standalone, though if you plan to read the Broken series, it would be best to read Fractured after the trilogy. PLEASE NOTE: This book contains sensitive subject matter. If you are affected by triggers or have experienced serious trauma, it may not be for you. Not recommended for persons under 18 years of age.Complete
Biopod Serie #0: Rust & Stardust
"After everything, you're... one of the few things that actually feels real." In 2030, the sky cracked open. By 2040, Earth belongs to the Biopods. In the present, 2049, humanity has mostly given up, trying to survive through this broken world. They arrived as silent meteorites, egg-shaped monoliths that burrowed into the Earth. At first, humanity thought they were dormant. But they weren't. Each Biopod is a living factory: it devours biological matter-humans, animals, forests-and reconfigures it into cold, sentient machines. The machines they make vary, adapting to terrain, resistance, and resource availability. They don't just kill. They convert. Matthew Riots, gunner from the Frontline, no longer wishing to fight, left the Frontline for Zeta. There he reunited with his sister, living out their quiet lives. But no peace truly exists in a world full of Biopods. Zeta fell, he and his sister completely lost contact. Promising to keep surviving no matter what, Matthew journeyed to the promised land of Athena. The story of Rust And Stardust gives us insights on what little humanity is left in the apocalypse. A story focusing on the theme of family, love and human's connection. In a broken world where survival is a luxury, will our main character finally find peace and happiness again?Complete

Mod Superhero
For this cyborg, power is just an upgrade away. Emmett was used to being caught between college and his engineering internship, but when he gets caught between a powerful hero and an even stronger villain, he becomes collateral damage. Instead of dying, he wakes up a cyborg. Turns out his boss wasn't just an eccentric inventor, and the old man just gave him a shining opportunity to be a hero. Except that's just the beginning, and things are about to get a lot more complicated. His boss has his own agenda. The boss's daughter has her own power armor. His roommate works for an evil corporation. And Emmett is small fry. Just a Class 1 hero. Superheroes aren't just masks-some work for corporations, or for the government and the military, and even as mercenaries in wars. Shadowy cabals pull the strings of hero and villain alike. The city of Belport might be peaceful for now, but most of the world is in turmoil. If Emmett is going to have any chance at making a difference, he needs to get stronger. A lot stronger.
