Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com. - Wings of Destruction and Duty Continúa

Some say we're special, and that's why we're kept in seclusion. Beyond those walls evil lurks and innocent prey would be lost in minutes. Gone. Destroyed. Forgotten. Others say the opposite: we're locked away because there's something wrong with us. If we roamed the outside world, we might taint the beautiful ones. A species so pure, that to merely be in their presence is a gift. As for my beliefs...I'm not sure. But I do know one thing: neither of those reasons explains why it is that they come for us only after we've passed the age of sixteen. Whether we want to go or not, we're taken through those iron gates. Escorted away from the only home we've ever known, escorted to our destiny-whatever that destiny may be-never to be seen again. - Wicked Evergreen Concluida

Gossip Girl meets... the Bible. Angel grew up as ordinary as possible. Well, ordinary enough for a girl who's literally an angel. Angel never thought she'd meet with the royal Archangels of heaven, especially a member from the Holy Trinity. Angel also never thought she'd be sent plummeting to earth on a Guardian Angel mission with no clue what it's about. Angel surely never thought she'd stay in a man's Lower East Side loft that she just met. And Angel definitely did not expect two ridiculously handsome human men to irreversibly change her fate. Magic, destiny and divine justice cross paths with the wealthy elites of New York City. As Angel enters the epicenter of human sin, she battles pride, lust, and greed. She walks the runway, goes to exclusive nightclubs, attends galas, exclusive masquerade parties, and dines at Michelin Star Restaurants. Between meeting the notorious womanizer Nathaniel Van Doren and the cunning Vivian Blackthorn, Angel is confronted with a myriad of distractions. However, Angel is thrown back into reality as it becomes apparent that she's not the only one with a mission. There are evil forces at large that will stop at nothing to attain what they want. Angel realizes that she's the player of a centuries old, ruthless, unfinished game, and that she is not who she always believed she was. She has ancient, unimaginable, power that would even stun the Archangels. This is a classic tale of good versus evil with a divine twist, heavily inspired by the old and new testament. And of course, what good would this story be if it didn't have tantalizing romances that are forbidden by all means? - Zoe J. Sky - A Tainted Story Continúa

Two hundred years ago, a pact was forged between the human King Aldean and the magical inhabitants of Aeloria. The Sirens, the island's fierce protectors, wiped the memory of magic from human minds, securing Aeloria's seclusion and safety. Under the watchful eyes of King Baret and Queen Ive, the fae rulers, Aeloria thrived in serene harmony. But now, the enchantment has weakened. A group of supernatural hunters - the Centrics - has breached the island's defenses, threatening to unravel the secrets of Aeloria. Elysia Ademar, the formidable Captain of the Sirens, is tasked with luring these hunters into a trap. Her mission is critical: eliminate the threat and restore the island's hidden peace. As the hunters fall one by one into the Sirens' deadly snare, only one escapes-Ryton Kaye. Driven by a blend of fear and anger, Ryton must flee from Elysia's relentless pursuit and the wrath of his own king, who demands the capture of Aeloria's magical inhabitants. Elysia, whose magic failed to affect Ryton, is determined to hunt him down. Her pursuit is fueled by a fierce loyalty to her island and a burgeoning curiosity about this resilient intruder. In a race against time, Elysia and Ryton are locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse. As secrets are revealed and ancient pacts are tested, the fate of Aeloria hangs in the balance. Will Elysia succeed in her mission, or will Ryton uncover the truths that could change everything? Ryton Kaye narrowly escapes the woman who captured his comrades. His mission was to gather the magical Parallels for the king, but now he's running-for his life and from the feelings of anger and fear that Elysia's magic couldn't erase. For the Gods, what did the King need with the wicked creatures? How had he survived? Ryton must navigate this dangerous new reality, torn between duty, survival, and emotions he's never experienced before. - Ivy of the Forest Continúa
