It is illegal to indict a courier for the contents of any message they deliver. When the ruler of the wealthiest nation on earth receives a cryptic note marked by "The Charlatan," he learns that all of the gold he spent decades stockpiling is worthless. The richest country in the world becomes bankrupt overnight. Fearing public riots, surrounding countries declaring war, and with no clues revealing the identity of the Charlatan, the king breaks the law.
  
Our courier is suddenly an outlaw in her own country and is forced to run. Desperate to clear her name, she vows to find the Charlatan and bring them to justice. A simple task becomes complicated when the world is filled with liars and cheats, and the separating line between fair and unthinkable is gray.

Earth, After ✔️ by talia-v

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. I will reread this for sure. It's honestly my favourite work on wattpad ever, and among my best reads in general, it's insane. I love your creativity!"

LUCAS MENDOZA by Cambordia

Lucas and her friends grew up in an orphanage where life was nothing but a daily nightmare. Their only hope lay in the belief that, upon reaching adulthood, they could finally escape this hellish cycle. But one day, Lucas uncovers a horrifying truth: her friends are victims of atrocities, ones she herself will soon endure when the time comes. Realizing that they may never leave this cursed orphanage, Lucas tries to convince her friends to flee. However, paralyzed by fear and lacking faith in a better future outside, they refuse to follow her. Lucas then makes them a solemn promise: she will return to save them. Ten years later, Lucas returns, richer than anyone could ever imagine. She offers her friends, whom she considers family, a life they would never have dared to dream of. But in exchange, she makes them promise never to ask her about what she experienced after leaving the orphanage, nor about the source of her wealth. Just as everything finally seems behind them, the arrival of two strangers in Lucas's life reignites the dark secrets from the past, forcing Lucas and her friends to confront revelations that could forever alter their lives.
