One girl. 
Two cities. 
Three social classes.
And a chance to rise up to the government that knocked them down. 
 
* * *


217 years after the Third World War, society is now divided into two social classes: the ARLITES, people of the Upper City, and the HUMANES, people of the Lower City. A state's military and government is depended upon its wealthier population, while the lesser privileged are stripped of their rights, forced to survive on their own. 

Just months before the new Californian General will be elected, its current leader, Aaron Lane, bids his last farewell to the Humanes. A notorious group, the Arlites Assassins Society, attempts to put a bullet right through his head. Their plan backfired on them, when a seventeen-year-old Humane girl, Kalista Young, puts herself between the General and the bullet. 

Truths and conspiracies are unraveled one by one. Kalista discovers her true identity and power, a power that was thought to have died with its instigators, the ELEGIANS. She discovers what truly happened during the Third World War. She also discovers the reason behind the creation of the two cities, and why it was so important.

As each second passes by, her efforts to find the perpetrators of the assassination is slowly becoming a wild goose chase. Alongside the General's two sons, she continues to gather information about their state's history, about the Elegians, about the Assassins, and everyone involved with them.

With the knowledge in hand, Kalista is starting to think that she can never truly trust anyone but herself.

There is nothing as powerful in life as your first love. When this happens after clacking to a strange new world where people reverse age-let's say it's complicated. Demalynn is a seventeen-year-old girl from a small town who one day hears a loud 'clack' and is transported to the planet Saffire. Naked. Then things really get weird. No child has ever been born on Saffire; clackers make up the entire population. All people who clack under thirty reverse age: each year they grow younger. As an awkward teenager plagued by panic attacks who dabbles in comedy, Demalynn just wants to go home to be re-united with her family. Citizens over thirty grow old and are forced to mine the mineral that powers giant cooling stations to keep the planet habitable. Citizens solve disputes with gladiatorial combat. The prophesy of The Coming In Saffire's time of greatest need, a child will be born to a special woman, the Gravidarum. The child, who has no father of this planet, will be known as the Unum, a child to lead Saffire. The Helper will battle to keep the Gravidarum safe until the Unum is born. The people of Saffire have been waiting to see The Coming fulfilled. Demalynn assembles a group of clackers to get her home, the most important of which is a fellow clacker: eighteen-year-old Aiden. It is not long before Jago, the ruler of Saffire, learns that a woman on Saffire is pregnant and he unleashes all his power to prevent the birth. Jago will not give up power. Demalynn is surprised to find out she is the Helper, but is astounded to learn the identity of the Gravidarum. Demalynn must battle to stay alive and fumbles towards the realization that Aiden is much more than a close friend. She is certain, with the certainty that only a seventeen-year-old can possess, that Aiden is her only true love. Demalynn is desperate to find a way back home until she must make a choice: stay with Aiden on Saffire or go back home and re-unite her family. There's no place like home.

The Betrayer and the Betrayed by JoeNChaste

In the not-so-distant future evolved humans emerged. Those who had powers that broke conventional laws of physics, chemistry, and biology were dubbed E.H.s (evolved humans); it was wondrous for a time. Of course if there was power to be used there would be those who misuse. To that end the evolved humans police department was formed to deal with all crime committed by or connected to E.H.s, a force entirely comprised of E.H.s trained to stop and capture any E.H. breaking the law. Adlet Blacksteel is the newest edition to the E.H.P.D., his skills and experience as a hostage extractor makes him an invaluable edition. Joined by his new partner, Jenna Jones, he pursues a secretive manhunt for the Soldiers Of The New World, an underground E.H. crime organization that has a hand in all that is illegal, and their mysterious leader: String, who, seemingly, has eyes and ears everywhere. While Adlet and Jenna intend on doing this by the books, their unsavory past with two of String's captains may muddy their judgement, or, more accurately, it already has. As String's ambitions grow beyond just controlling the city's underbelly Adlet and Jenna are forced to take action with an ally he did not desire. While prejudice against E.H.s reaches it's peak because of a horrific tragedy, the Soldiers of the New World waste no time to expand their reach and rally for their cause of taking over the city. Adlet goes to the edge of sacrificing everything and back again. On the way, betrayal awaits at every corner. Note: If you're an artist interested in working with me my email is: yousefabdelhaleem2@yahoo.com I'm willing to pay for a proper cover. I'm also interested in creating a comic out of this work or my next work but that would be a partnership model since I don't have that kind of money.

In the process of revamping this profile and this novel... thanks for your patience! (Estimated time of arrival: 12/01/19) "What are we?" I muttered in awe. "Efferent." He cocked his head slightly to the side. "Although, I do not believe that anyone is truly like you, Ardyn Danvers. You are something different altogether. You are something far more superior." ********** In a society dictated by intellectual prowess and where your status is determined by your level of brain function, Ardyn Danvers finds herself on her knees with a historically low percentage. With few choices left to make, and a dim future ahead of her, Ardyn is resigned to joining the rest of the bottom feeders in the gutter. But when an esoteric clinic of scientists develop a serum meant to increase tested brain function, they threaten to turn the nation's establishment on its head and heighten government control. Intending to level the division between the high percentages and the low, they had expected to use the serum to bridge the gap between the undesirables at the foot of the hierarchy to the elite standing at the pinnacle. What they did not expect, however, were the side effects. ********** © 2017 AaPThomps all rights reserved. COMPLETED FIRST DRAFT. Cover by @-wanderes
