~Book Three in The Gods of the Universe Series~

~~~~~~~~~~

What exactly are you supposed to do when the one you love doesn't know you?

Estrelas Acima: a quiet village in southern Mexico, where the inhabitants have only two rules. Never leave without permission, and never crest the hill to the ocean. For generations, these rules have kept the people safe, while only a select family travels to the city once a month to trade. 

Until Eva Moreno.

Orphaned at a young age and paid little attention, she reasons there won't be consequences when she decides to sneak into the wagon of the Angelas family on their monthly trip to the city. She is proved wrong when a deadly attacker gives her an ominous warning: in one week, on her eighteenth birthday, her village will be destroyed.

Locked in an abandoned warehouse for trying to warn her village, Eva can only watch as everyone she knows is killed. Battling destructive new powers, she travels 2,104 miles north to Oregon with only one strange direction; to find her "husband." In Oregon, where gods have been known to gather, Eva meets Alejandro Vivas, who convinces her to stay with him and his family as long as she needs.

Meanwhile, the weather surges out of control as rumors of Chaos rising become reality. Five unearthly creatures-dubbed "The Angles" by the media- have been captured on camera destroying creatures rising from the dead and protecting mortals, but some say they're also fugitives, running from the highest level of law in existence: the immortals. 

When one of Eva's old friends seem to have come back to life, she realizes that she is dealing with something more powerful than she ever thought possible as she and "The Angels" fight for the earth in one last epic deul.

The Darkness in the Light by djscloud
25 parts Complete
For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness. It isn't overly mature... there isn't much explicit language or sexual scenes, but there is a bit of violence, so just keep that in mind... and despite all that negativity, ENJOY!
Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

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.
