ˈrʌɪv(ə)lri : competition for the same objective or for superiority in the same field.
Numerous contestants every year, only one winner. This time there is a twist. Instead of fourteen participants, it's fifteen. These individuals are enclosed and kept in a city named Redwood, on an island in middle of the Pacific Ocean. The participants have to make connections or individual make their way out and win in order to go back to their normal lives.
Or so they thought.. Looks like all of them have another huge surprise tossed their way. And that's not a good thing.
What happens when your connection is too strong facing all these together? Would you just have rivalry against each other?

The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

*wattys 2018 shortlist* *writer's awards sci-fi winner* It all started with an accident. Through vast consolidation begets a single empire bordering on the mere idea of war with an enemy threatening to destroy its entire existence, starting from the inside. Many call it tyranny, others, vengeful menace, but it's taking them down. One by one. A series of events follow, including a spy, a plan destined to fail and a desperate offer that puts everything on the line. She wasn't what they were hoping for. But they take what they can get. Once rejected by the place they called home, five estranged teens jump at the opportunity for an escape. Thrust into an unknown underwater society at random, it's a gamble for life and death, win or lose. Fast forward to friendship, rivalry, loyalty, borderline sorcery, and a second home that'll change their lives as they know it.

One Life
Fire and Ice. Night and Day. One Life: the competition that unites them. . . . After a catastrophic event that caused the sun and the moon to remain stagnant on each side of the world, the human race was nearly eradicated, with nations wartorn and millions lost to wars and natural disasters. The Anchoring, as it's called, had very few survivors. However, those who did rose up to the challenge. The Republic of Atla, once known as North America, managed to survive the Anchoring, with new generations being born with side effects from the disaster and further establishing its power. Upon defeating the other nations for domination, its two coasts were separated into sectors: the powerful Onasa on one side, ruled by the sun, and the weakened Vale on the other, ruled by the moon. In the centre of Atla lies a land where light meets dark; a paradise for the affluent and powerful. Stories of the paradise are a beacon of hope for the less fortunate sector citizens. Everyone hopes they will get a chance to move there, but there is only one way: by competing in the One Life Competition-a yearly contest created by Atla's elites to grant two lucky sector teens the opportunity to find paradise-and winning. Valerie Arderis of the Onasa intends to do just that. So does Kane Hinata of the Vale. . . .Complete
✔️ The Afflicted Hearts (The Unwanted Bride Series: Book Two)
Perfection is a performance. Feeling is the flaw in the script. Juniper has not only survived the first phase of the Marriage Process- barley- she somehow managed to be in the top three contestants meaning she has to stay. Much to the disappointment to everyone involved. Now she's expected to spend who knows how long with three bachelors who clearly want nothing to do with her-and in some cases, would rather see her disappear entirely. But as the season drags on, cracks begin to form in their carefully constructed lives. Behind every cold glare and forced smile is a story no one dares to speak aloud, especially not to the unwanted bride they are forced to spend time with. And when masks begin to slip, so do the boundaries between them. Juniper never expected to find connection. They never expected to care. But in a world built on control and illusion, can something real survive?Complete
Earth, After ✔️
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.

Utopia (Completed)
She was used to being alone. Used to hiding in trees, gripping her belongings as they searched for her below. Used to losing those she loved to them. Blights caused her pain. They caused everyone pain. She questioned what the point of living was. Now-a-days, it was just scraping by to survive. Then she heard about Ryseden, a utopia of sorts. They promise to shield those free of infection. They promise a warm bed with food. They promise a purpose in life. And that's exactly what she needs. u·to·pi·a: An imagined "perfect" realm. Where everyone is content; where things get done by people who are happy to do them, and where problems that have plagued our world for over a millennium no longer apply. Whoever came up with the idea was drunk, stoned, tripping or insane. Maybe even all four.Complete
