destiny destroyer dystopia fantasy fate fiction guardian guardians inquest lance libby milo science talent talents trilogy urban

For Libby Sparks, turning sixteen means only one thing…death. Guardian rule demands she attend the ritualistic Inquest that will unveil her talents and secure her place in society. But that isn’t all that will be revealed in Libby’s case.


The more talents you have the better, at least to some degree. Four or five talents will guarantee you a life of luxury, but seven…that is the mark of the Destroyer. Libby knows her Inquest will reveal her to be the Guardians’ greatest enemy. Their law requires her death before her eighteenth birthday. If she lives, prophecy foretells that the world will fall into chaos and destruction.

Once her destiny is revealed, Libby is abandoned when her mother throws her out, her boyfriend tries to kill her, and her best friend shuts her out. Only Milo, a slightly grungy outcast, seems willing to be her friend—but Libby soon realizes he has secrets of his own. His secrets may very well have everything to do with her own destiny.

In order to make it to her eighteenth birthday, Libby must bury her talents and convince the world she is harmless. Her plan only lasts until Milo is put in danger and Libby is forced to choose. Abandon her friend to save her own life, or embrace her destiny and truly become the Destroyer.All Rights Reserved

The Angel Prophecies: Opal Sky by Weezie74

EDITING Abigail was 13 when her parents were killed, but she was fortunate enough to have loving grandparents to take her in. She lived a pretty normal life until circumstances change everything and she finds herself starting grade 12 at a new school. She thought the toughest part would be making new friends. Little did she know that would be the easy part. She soon starts to dream of her deceased father who tells her that she's not an ordinary teen but part of a prophecy, which causes her to question everything she thought was real, including her sanity. She soon finds herself thrust into the world of the supernatural, which she tries to rationalize and ignore. Out of fear she keeps these things to herself. How can she explain to her family or new friends, without sounding crazy, that she sees dead people? Then there's Seth, the most amazing guy she's ever met. The attraction to him is instant and unlike anything she's ever experienced. She certainly can't tell him she has visions of them in the past. However, destiny has plans for Abigail and she soon discovers she isn't crazy after all, that monsters do exist. *Cover artwork is used with permission from my amazingly talented cousin, Rochelle Haisley, a.k.a Green Olive Mama, who is both the photographer and model.

Red Moon Princess by lunerloverrrrr

In a world where every royalty child is born with magical powers, depending on its kingdom, unexpected thing occur as a powerless princess is born in the ruling dynasty. The Sirius Bloodline of the moonlands or as one would like to call it 'Lunalurse'. Time passes and Maria soon turns seven and still doesn't awaken her gift. The King and his Queen find it odd as a royalty child mostly awakens their gift between the ages of 4 and 6. So they strive to seek answers, some deep inside the lunar palace, and some across the realms making long-life friends throughout the way. Would the powerless princess awaken her gift? And if she does what would it mean for her, the realms and everyone else? And what if her long-awaited gift is something no one has seen coming, not even her? And what if this power of hers releases unknown and unwanted guests some the world would have been a better place without and what if she's all to blame? And what if whilst performing her duty of protecting the realms, she becomes aware of the feelings her best friend Ashton harbors for her, knowing her cousin has taken a liking to him for years? Rowan realizes he has fallen in love with her cousin, as well as Zephyr who has fallen for Maria. She finds herself in a turmoil of longing and raw emotions where she has to choose between love or performing her duty. Read it all as it takes place right before your eyes. It's never too late to hop onto the track of fantasies "I might be the princess of the moon, but I can also be the bringer of your doom." ----- All the characters, kingdoms, names, and places are my ideas. Any resemblance to real ones is purely coincidental. The story contains some violence and some explicit scenes of gore, but nothing too bloody or disgusting. Keep in mind, that this is the first book I've ever written, and English isn't my first language. Any mistakes or twists of words are unintentional. I'd do better than this in the future so 🐻 with me.

Survival - Howl in the Night 2 by maxd01

I am going to be doing a major edit on this story in Feb 2016. When I finish the edits I am going to delete this version and repost. Mari has finally found a place where she felt at home with Dan. Though she is eighteen for various reasons he has been designated as her guardian. It has been several months since the events that led to her being changed and saved. Now Dan is forcing her to return to the hell she calls high school to get her diploma. How is she going to deal with having guys, and a few girls, hitting on her? Is her wolf going to help or be a problem? What does her future really look like? Will the new friends she is slowly making be true or fake? She is most definitely not looking forward to all the drama of kids who haven't encountered both the supernatural and living on the streets. As I am publishing my stories they will be found at smashwords and my blog is on wordpress: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/Maxd01 https://clarkb003.wordpress.com/
