India Rose & The Eternals - The Fountain Of Youth Chronicles Vol. 1 by TincanCaldwell

For fans of the Harry Potter universe, LOST and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: What if that really was the Mona Lisa that India Rose saw walking around her small, Maine town? What if her father's innocent bedtime stories of hidden mysteries below the river and secret identities of ordinary citizens were more than mere fairy tales? Why did her essay on her town's history make a few select town officials so angry? And why was young Finn and his master (who bears more than a passing resemblance to Leonardo da Vinci) sent across the sea to the new world on a mission to protect "the secret" that his order has been charged to guard? Told over the course of almost one hundred years and multiple continents, India Rose and the Eternals tells the parallel stories, told in concurrent chapters, of twelve-year-old India Rose and two-hundred-and twelve-year-old Finnegan Rufus Magondolovich (don't ask him about his middle or last names) who are both struggling to understand the upheaval in their own little worlds. Add to this the sinister Man In The Brown Hat and his shadowy organization, who are chasing Finn and his master across the globe, an oil spill that threatens India's coastal town, a stern Head Librarian who seems to have it in for India, and India Rose and the Eternals packs enough adventure and hairpin turns to keep readers turning pages. With strong themes of using your gifts and abilities for the good of others and the rise, use and abuse of technology, India Rose and the Eternals is the opening salvo in the expansive Water Chronicles universe, a series that takes contemporary notions of history and re-examines them.

Conduits by cdharding

Long ago, on a normal Thursday, the world went dark. Power grids went down. Electricity shut off. The internet fizzled into nothing. Planes dropped from the sky. People died. One hundred years later the surviving humans live amongst the junk left over from Black Out Thursday. Cars are rusting. Cities lay abandoned. Cell phones, computers, and other machines are worthless to most, except to a few… Clara Danvers is a conduit, a person with the ability to Wake the junk from humanity's past by infusing the sleeping machines with Nites. Fearing the people who do not understand her abilities, Clara and other conduits live their lives in hiding. Most conduits tend to brave the crumbling metropolitan ruins of old, scraping to gather a living for eccentrics who will pay well for antiques from the world's past. They scavenge junk, repair junk, sell junk, and Wake junk in the back allies and dark basements of the lightless communities of tomorrow. Until the day one a conduit goes missing… From a young age conduits are taught to fear those people who don't understand them, to keep vigil, or the road pirates called the Junkers will get them in the night! Braver than most, these bedtime cautionary tales never scared Clara, until the day a friend's family is murdered and that friend's conduit brother disappears. Now Clara must find the people that took her friend's brother. She must do this quickly, because the Junkers are coming for her next… "Conduits" is updated every Tuesday. Check back for new chapters! Thanks for reading! The "Conduits" cover art was created by wonderfully talented Eleanor Ferron. Check out her portfolio by visiting her website at http://eferron.daportfolio.com/.

HalfWorlder #Wattys2017 by HerringAli

(Highest rank #12 in sci-fi). When a dangerous ancient artifact hidden by the Egyptian gods activates after millennia, the long-dormant powers of a half-alien boy come alive just in time to save the Earth. But he never imagined winning over a girl would be harder than saving the world. And he may not even do that. THE LONG VERSION: Human life was hard enough for 17-year-old Gil Scott when his father suddenly disappeared from a temple dig. But when the half-alien teen uncovers a conspiracy surrounding the artifact his human dad was hunting, Gil must use his alien powers to track it down before it destroys the planet he calls home. With the help of a beautiful Oasen-human hybrid whose drive to succeed masks her private pain, Gil borrows his mom's spaceship, following the same clues across Egypt as his father. The teens battle strange weather phenomena and rising global panic as they race through the suffocating heat of the desert, through deluged ancient temples, and hidden libraries hiding more than just books. That is until it starts snowing on the Great Sphinx and they unearth a millennial-old message from Ra himself, addressed to Gil, with a choice that will affect everyone's future. Unraveling Ra's remaining clues, they rush to locate the powerful artifact in time. But Ra and the other ancient aliens' thousands-year-old, carefully mapped plan to save the Earth from the Aten has a fatal flaw, and their gamble may cost Gil the only life that will matter to him in the end. And possibly the planet itself. (Cover image: Photo of The Pyramids of Giza from Egypt combined with a Hubble image. Original photographer: Rom Srinivasan, 2005)

Legion Britannia, "Steam and Steel" by JamesSwallowGaunt

In the wake of Rome's collapse, the winds of change swept across the ancient world, carrying with it the remnants of an empire on the brink of annihilation. As chaos engulfed the once-mighty civilization, a beacon of hope emerged amidst the turmoil-the island of Britannia. In this land of mist and legends, the wealthy and powerful sought refuge, forging a new path in the face of impending darkness. They formed the Imperium Britannia, a bastion of strength and resilience, determined to withstand the relentless onslaught of the Gothic Empire. Centuries passed, and as the world evolved, so did Britannia. It embraced the golden age of steam, where colossal war machines, driven by the power of steam, became the embodiment of its indomitable spirit. These mechanical behemoths, with their thunderous roars and billowing smoke, dominated the battlefields, skies, and vast oceans, becoming the ultimate weapon against the encroaching Gothic Empire. Now, in the year 2045, the legions of Imperium Britannia find themselves locked in an epic struggle for survival. The Gothic Empire, fueled by a thirst for power and expansion, unleashes its relentless hordes upon the last bastion of resistance. The fate of an empire hangs in the balance as the war rages on. Heroes rise from the ashes, their hearts ablaze with the spirit of defiance. From the towering war machines that shake the earth with their every step to the swift airships that dance through the clouds, the forces of Imperium Britannia stand united, ready to confront an enemy that seeks to crush their final resistance. Prepare to embark on an exhilarating journey into a world where steam and steel collide, where the fate of an empire rests upon the indomitable will of its people. The battle for Imperium Britannia has only just begun, and its echoes will resonate through the ages, forever etching their mark upon the annals of history.
