Acting normal is not the same as being normal. No one knows that truth better than Suthe Montikwe. Born with the unlucky genes of a distant druith ancestor, she's had to hide her talents in order not to be outcast by society. Her strategy is to smile, keep quiet, and work hard. While that method may keep her safe, it's also alienated her from her neighbors and friends, and the worry that she may be discovered is never far from her thoughts. When her country sends out a warrant to capture anyone who practices magic, Suthe is forced to seek refuge elsewhere, all the while wondering at the sudden proclamation. Why has the government taken an interest in her, and when will she be able to return home? Unsatisfied with her lack of answers, Suthe decides to investigate. But the more she looks, the deeper she gets herself into trouble, and she comes to realize that this mystery does not involve her country alone. The threat of war looms on the horizon, and Suthe will need to put her trust in the strangers she meets, including a dangerous spy wanted for the betrayal of his own country. But most importantly, Suthe will need to trust herself, and her abilities, if she ever wants to see home again. ~*~Current cover by Amanda-Mae ~*~ ~*~Previous cover by italychick~*~

10,000 years... In 1994, the two Timeless Monarchs came to Earth and changed Humanity forever; now we're 10,000 years in the future. The Monarchs have been gone for 2,000 years. They said we peaked. Unable to live up to their expectations. Humanity has lost their real shepherds, the ones who would guide us into our birthright... A new type of evolution maybe paradise. Without them, humanity has regressed into relatable bad habits, ones born from the weakness in our ancestor's DNA, the same DNA that kept us alive and allowed us to survive. They taught us... Space travel that extends to our entire Galaxy. The ability to touch the algorithm that binds our universe together; Medicine advancements that turn almost every injury into something trivial with drugs and cybernetic implants. Death of not knowing where we fit into the universe, the hierarchy, our place in the cosmos. Even with all that, the story follows Astora Vermillion, a young woman with a Blazing Blade, unruly sarcasm, and a closet full of bulletproof jackets. Astora is trying to navigate a humanity that has learned to become more evil than kind in 10,000 years. In this story, A-stor-a's connection to the Algorithms of the universe will change everything for everyone... even humanities shepherds. Some might say... She's heard this all before...
Kadota (Love Trilogy) by Lisa_Evette
19 parts Complete Mature
In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories. My scientist father hailed my uniqueness as a miracle, but my life was far from ordinary. To the village, I was just an oddity, a walking puzzle with missing pieces. My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out. It was my turn to face the unknown with a hidden purpose - to locate my lost father who was sent there years ago.
