Danger, heartache, grit, tension, brotherhood, trauma, betrayal, sacrifice, fear. Death square in the face. All in a day's work for the REAPERS, an elite black-ops team deployed to remote, untamed conflict zones. Their mission: to assassinate covert targets, conduct rescue operations and gather intelligence. We follow this tight band as its members evolve; some will die and be replaced by new faces, some will defect, be injured or retire, and others will change in unimaginable ways. All will be tested to their limits.

REAPERS is an epic set in a sprawling dark fantasy universe of tragic characters, complex villains, and shocking story turns. It explores contemporary and timeless issues about the human condition set against an otherworldly backdrop; a study of the horrors of war and xenophobia through a fantastical yet gritty lens.

Written by Them Thorntons.

Decades ago there were Hunters, people who inherited an ancient power gifted by the gods and who protected the world from the nightmarish creatures known as Reapers. But when the Anarchy Wars tore through the world creating fear and desperation, the world turned against Hunters and, one by one, their powers disappeared. Until now. Kaya Nebrae has been born with a Legacy, the same power Hunters once wielded. But while Reapers still stalk the streets, Kaya has no intention of using her power to fight them. She doesn't want to protect the world, and she certainly doesn't want the world to know she exists. So Kaya has carved a different life for herself, keeping her head down and her knives sharp, but when one of her jobs goes wrong Kaya will be thrown onto a new path, one that will force her to confront her fate - and the growing shadow that stalks her. ****complete

Dragons of War - Rising Storm by AustrealisInk

150 years in the future little exists of humanity but what they left behind; a war-torn world. Those left that survived fractured into two groups, the Cabal and the Renegade. One fights for order, the other for freedom. Neither remembers how, or when, the fighting started but both realize that it will end with their own extinction... Until one day a crazy man's ideas are realized and materialized into something that could change the war forever. Jaya has suffered from this war-torn world like many others. Orphaned at a young age, she has known the bottom of the tier her whole life and her whole life she has dreamed only of the top. Of the Dragon Warriors. Made of fire and rage, the Dragon Warriors are the greatest weapon ever created. The ability to become a vicious beast with wings, claws and bulletproof scales made them the new hope for winning the war against the Cabal. At least they used to be thought of as that. Nowadays the people see them as the fodder that wastes their food and fills their graves. Inside Jaya is a deep-seated rage to get back at the ones who took everything away from her in the war but her shy outward personality stops her from doing anything but daydream. Jaya must fight against not only the people around her, but also herself in order to achieve that which she desires most: Revenge. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Each part is 1k words.
