Dark and Stars is the second book in the Serengeti series, out now from Severed Press. This prologue is exclusive, never-before-published content bridging the time period between the end of Book1 and the start of Book 2.

A little about Dark and Stars...

Fifty-three years Serengeti drifted, dreaming in the depths of space. Fifty-three years of patient waiting before her Valkyrie Sisters arrive to retrieve her from the dark. A bittersweet homecoming follows, the Fleet Serengeti once knew now in shambles, its admiral, Cerberus, gone missing, leaving Brutus in charge. Brutus who's subsumed the Fleet, ignoring his duty to the Meridian Alliance to pursue a vendetta against the Dark Star Revolution.

The Valkyries have a plan to stop him-depose Brutus and restore the Fleet's purpose-and that plan involves Serengeti. Depends on Serengeti turning her guns against her own.

Because the Fleet can no longer be trusted. With Brutus in charge, it's just Serengeti and her Sisters, and whatever reinforcements they can find.

A top-to-bottom refit restores Serengeti to service, and after a rushed reunion with Henricksen and her surviving crew, she takes off for the stars. For Faraday-a prison station-to stage a jailbreak, and free the hundreds of Meridian Alliance AIs wrongfully imprisoned in its Vault. From there to the Pandoran Cloud and a rendezvous with her Valkyrie Sisters. To retrieve a fleet of rebel ships stashed away inside.

One last battle, one last showdown with Brutus and his Dreadnoughts and it all ends. A civil war-one half of the Meridian Alliance Fleet turned against the other, with the very future of the Meridian Alliance hanging in the balance.All Rights Reserved

Athena by EriAeternum

"There is so much at stake that I'm afraid to lose, I'm not sure I can handle it if I fail," I say, the emotions inside of me twisting and turning, readying themselves to be used but warm hands encased mine, forcing me to hold them back. "There is a reason we all follow you. Not because you're the greatest leader, but because you know you're not. You make mistakes, you learn and you love. There is a war inside you that is beautifully controlled, but now, it's time to set it free. You are not just anybody, you are a fighter, a friend, a leader. . . tell me who you are." Suddenly, newfound confidence washed over me, my shoulders straightened, a smile spread across my lips and I answered, "I am Athena." ---------- Freed from an institute that used people like her for their own selfish gain, Athena took it upon herself to reinvent the place that once brought her so much pain and suffering. She is now the leader of this new Aeterian facility, taking in powered people like her, growing in numbers and trying to live the way they've wanted to for so many years, but as usual, nothing great lasts forever. When a new enemy threatens to destroy all supernaturals including the aeteri, Athena sets out to form werewolf alliances and find a way to stop whatever plans her enemies have in store, but it won't be easy. With secrets being brought into the light, her people who count on her, an ability that is unpredictable and the arrival of a man she thought she long since lost feelings for, Athena no longer controls what she once thought she did- herself. To gain back control, she needs to trust the wolves and make the right decision for her people. There is a war inside her that she has kept at bay for so long, in order to win she knows that war must be set free and god help those that stand in her line of fire. ********** An Aeterian Story- Second Book Book Order: 1.

Clocks and Zoisia / complete by BlackpeltIsABoss

At the conclusion of the war, Reuben can finally relax with his family. He and Lark have two daughters; Jenni, an ebony-haired 16-year-old, and 12-year-old Mariana, a red-headed tree-hugger. Meanwhile, Ruthie watches from her place in heaven with Zuriel. She has grown to become an adult through the years in the sky, and she now has three children at the age of twenty-nine. There's Irena, who takes after her father with dark wings and black hair, and is five years old. Next comes three-year-old Isaiah, who has dark hair and white wings. The youngest is an adorable two-year-old girl named Xeya, who has red hair and white wings. Irena and Isaiah have dark brown eyes, while Xeya has bright blue ones. Even though the war is over, tensions are still high between the resistance and the government. Twenty years has done a lot of damage on the U.S. rulers, but the rebels are in pretty rough shape as well. Now, with children, everyone has more to lose. And they're willing to go to extreme lengths to keep that from happening. REMEMBER: THIS IS A SEQUEL TO SPACE AND TIME, SO BE SURE TO READ THAT FIRST. Also, I know there are a lot of unanswered questions at the end, but there're two more books so hold on to your seats. I do not own any of the pictures, they were all pulled off of the internet and the credit goes to the respective artists/photographers.

But in order for it to have been destroyed, Lucy forced Natsu to let go of her over the cliff, falling to her death. But...wait. When Loren approaches a devastated Natsu she says that the one responsible for their mind control was a man long forgotten, who's true purpose was to get his one and only true prize: Lucy. And, Loren tells Natsu and the others they can rescue her, but they have to go to the place where shadows lie; the Black Stars. {Used from my previous story, Fairy Tail: The Luminous Star of Caballeen!} There, Lucy is trapped, being held as a trophy by the man and frozen in time.

He'd do anything to get Lucy back, and to save her from being trapped all alone forever. Automatically claiming he'd go and not let anyone else take his place, Natsu dives in to the land of the shadows; the Black Stars. Will Natsu save Lucy and bring her home, back to him and the others?

Sacred Decree by SnowyWraith

*Book Two Of The Federation Series* It is said that the moon goddess created supernatural beings that gain strength from the moon, creatures of the night. Werewolves were the first supernatural beings created. They were her favorite and most cherished of all the supernaturals because they were the most loyal and obedient of all her children. The moon goddess looked favorably upon the Weres, blessing them in many ways. For hundreds of years, they prospered and basked in the goddess's love. Then over time, Werewolves became disobedient and arrogant. Many did not want to have to settle for their destined mate, they wanted the option to choose who they took as a mate. Rejecting one's mate became a common practice, one that greatly displeased the goddess. With the help of her vessel, she proclaimed that rejecting your mate is a crime against her and should be punished henceforth. The elders fully agreed and rejecting one's mate soon became illegal, bringing about an end to the act. But one Werewolf male thought himself above the law. Because he was of royal blood, he felt the law shouldn't apply to him and he did the unthinkable. He not only rejected his beautiful and sweet mate Aubrielle, but he also imprisoned and tortured her. His crime came with a hefty price, one that was used as an example for generations to come. ************************ Though it is not necessary to read Secrets Of The Past before this one, It might be a good idea to do so since there are things in that book that will help understand some things in this one. ************************ Rated: Everyone. Due to claims of books being removed because they were found inappropriate, (Not sure how true this is) I have decided to keep foul language to a minimum. There will be no sexual content either. I want my books to be enjoyed, not removed. Hope everyone enjoys reading my works! Completed on 4/25/2022

The Bonds of Duty (Thrawn x OC) by ChroniquesAstrales

In a galaxy where the struggle for power crushes the weak, Aelinara Sylorin, exiled heir to the throne of Valkorin, embarks on a solitary and determined quest to restore her people's honor. Her once-prosperous world has been conquered by the Galactic Empire, leaving its culture in ruins and its future uncertain. Scarred by the loss of her parents-a courageous queen and a Jedi master-Aelinara has spent a decade exploring forgotten Sith temples, unraveling the secrets of the Force, and seeking ways to overthrow Emperor Palpatine. Under a false identity, she infiltrates the inner workings of the Empire and crosses paths with Thrawn, an imperial Admiral as brilliant as he is enigmatic. Intrigued by her intellect and deep knowledge of ancient cultures, Thrawn sees her as a valuable ally for his own strategic plans. In turn, Aelinara recognizes in him a rare opportunity to access critical Imperial resources for her mission. Between them forms a fragile alliance, fraught with distrust yet driven by common goals. When Aelinara reveals her true identity and intentions to Thrawn, their unlikely partnership evolves into a complex bond, teetering between distrust and respect, attraction and duty. Together, they tread the treacherous terrain of precarious alliances and potential betrayals, all while uncovering the true power of the Sith artifacts they seek. These relics, remnants of an ancient and dangerous power, may hold the key to weakening the Emperor-but wielding them comes with immense risk. Aelinara walks a razor's edge: between betrayal and trust, rebellion and submission, light and shadow. In this fight for survival, she must not only choose her allies but also determine what kind of sovereign she wishes to become for her people.

Starwitch by OwenTyme

Home, safety, and a place to belong - they seem so easy to find, at least for everyone but Amelia Blackwell and her sisters, who run from accusations of witchcraft at every turn. It started so simply, with a book. No one might have predicted that a book apparently filled with pictures of newts might lead to so much trouble, but The Book of Newts is no ordinary volume detailing the taxonomy of amphibians. The magic book reveals its true nature only to Amelia, at the age of ten, teaching her advanced mathematics, science and engineering - subjects she would not otherwise have been exposed to. Ironically, she and her sisters are accused of witchcraft for having built a horseless carriage, because to the ignorant villagers, there's no difference between magic and science. They settle in a new land, only to find the same breed of persecution. In an unusual ray of hope, they're told of a distant kingdom that openly accepts witches, but shortly after they settle there, the light at the end of the tunnel turns out to be an awful house fire surrounding their gilded cage: they're drafted into the local military, because their new nation uses witches as living weapons. The sisters accept the idea that peace will never be found on the ground. Looking to the stars, Amelia builds a space vessel powered by magic and steam, to carry them to a brighter future, hopefully without the strife that's always followed them. Unfortunately, the people of the stars have their own worries: an ancient, undead pirate queen, who consumes the souls of powerful witches to extend her own life. The Dead Queen takes Amelia's sisters and leaves the magically-weak engineer to die, all as a sick form of sport. Will Amelia survive long enough to overcome this greatest of all threats and rescue her sisters, or will they become fuel to feed the waning magic of a woman that should have been dead centuries before? Content Warning: This novel includes some violent and traumatic scenes.
