Nadia Ashpool was infamous as the elusive cat burglar the Sapphire Shadow, stealing at will and mocking the authorities in a series of dazzling heists. But her reign of fabulous terror ended in a spectacular arrest, and she's been locked away in solitary for almost three years. When she finally escapes, her family comes after her with every soldier in their vast private army, stopping at nothing to end her little rebellion.

Rebellion is the last thing on Nadia's mind. Simply surviving is hard enough. Luckily she has the help of the genius cyberterrorist Tess Tanaka and Alice Jackson, a former cop turned renegade criminal. Together, they make a run for somewhere, anywhere, any safe place left at all in a world twisted by the ravages of climate change.

The city of Haven calls itself "The Safest City in the World." And it is. For some people. But there's no such thing as a safe place for people who would stand up for themselves. Sometimes you can't run and hide.

Sometimes, you have no choice but to fight back.All Rights Reserved

City of dreamers full of endless potential - yet I feel like I am the only one drifting.

The Sapphire Shadow by James_Wake

"James Wake excels at writing action sequences. The book was jam-packed with nail biting moments. I felt like I was right beside Nadia as she fought, made quick decisions, and raced towards narrow escapes. The book is dark but realistic...Although this is not my typical genre, I'm glad I picked up this book. Nadia in particular is a wonderful character who brings panache to a gritty tale. " - Miranda Lynn, The Lesbian Review Nadia loves jewels. Big ones, small ones, red ones, blue ones. But her favorite variety is the illegally acquired. She has more than enough money to buy the best. That's never been the point. Shoplifting is her hobby, her escape. When her high school friend, Tess, offers to help her break into real burglary, how could she refuse? Tess is a technical genius - she designed and built her own right arm. Surely she can take down any security standing in their way to bigger and better loot. Outside the city walls, Jackson was raised in the slums. Life as a refugee was never easy, and the only way out was joining the army. Now she's a cop, finally living inside the old sea walls. She's supposed to be hunting Cheshire, a reclusive hacktivist stirring up unrest, but the nightly news is full of a smug young woman breaking the law and getting away with it, blowing kisses as she escapes police and private security. Theatrical, daring heists, thrilling to watch. And Jackson hates every minute of it. Meanwhile, the city they both call home is slowly tearing itself apart around them. Jackson crushes riot after riot, just part of the job. But more and more it feels wrong, hopeless, no point to any of it, no future for any of them. Nadia has given up on the future. But more and more people see her escapades and realize they can fight back. It doesn't make sense to Nadia, not at first, but an unlikely romance starts to show her that there could be some hope, even in a broken world.

Devil's Deal by rejoice105

**Summary:** **Celeste Winters** is 19, innocently sweet, allergic to the sight of men, and terrified of them. This is a result of a tragic incident from her past that no therapist has ever been able to interpret. She's also lost. Not metaphorically. She's actually lost in the dark woods near her dreary hometown of Gravenhollow, in one sock, holding onto a cat named Freud. She believes she's hallucinating when a dark limousine pulls up alongside her. A horned man, designer-clad and bloodied, with a voice that doesn't sound right, invites her in. He introduces himself as **Lucien D'Arcangelo**, head of the Seven Hells Syndicate-a devil crime family that trades in souls, sins, and second chances. He insists that Celeste is a "gift" he is owed-a virgin soul, unblemished body, keeper of an old forgotten key to Heaven's gates. She only wishes to return home. He wishes for her to kneel down. Too bad devils' bargains are enforceable. Particularly when they are sealed with blood, terror, and something Celeste did not even know she still possessed: lust. As Celeste becomes more entrenched in Lucien's dark life of crime syndicates, damned contracts, and tempting cruelty, she must confront her worst nightmare: What if she does not wish to flee?

Cyberpunk 2021 by Mar0gi

Spoiled by luxury and driven by ambition, Artemis-a young hitwoman-can't seem to escape the shadows of a fractured world left behind by those who came before her. In cities made of neon-lit ruins and broken promises, she's learnt to survive by cutting corners and making deals in the dark. But the interesting thing about survival, is that it always comes at a cost. And the further she goes, the messier it gets. As Artemis sinks further into a world of corporate corruption and underground schemes, she begins to realize she's caught in the unfinished business of a forgotten war. A war with secrets so deep that even its echoes can still change lives, challenge loyalties, and threaten everything she thought she knew. But how long can she keep doing this? Running from the past-hers and everyone else's? Now, with a buried conspiracy that's been building for two decades starting to unravel, its consequences could reshape the future of the world itself. (This story is based on the Cyberpunk 2020 universe but is effectively its own.)

Blood on the Matrix - Part 2: Eternal Life by NavyJoe

Serena Olivine-Ramneau is adjusting to her sanguine condition and to her new position at the sinister cosmetics conglomerate Bathrette Beautronics reasonably well, and her bosses think it's about time for her to prove her mettle by sending her out on a real mission. Unfortunately for her, it's far from a milk run - a high-level scientist at the company has disappeared, and the secrets he knows - not to mention the... Questionable research he was getting up to - make him exceptionally dangerous for Bathrette Beautronics, and the bosses want Serena and her colleagues, the elegantly analytical Lisa Klauetzer, and the playful, overly-positive scientist Dr. Gabriel McGarahann, to track Dr. Lazerian down and drag him before the board of directors to answer for his actions. Of course, nothing is ever as simple as it seems. A mysterious cabal of immortality-seekers on The Matrix, a series of disappearances plaguing the city, and, of course, Serena's own literal need for blood threaten to further complicate matters, even before the vampire and her colleagues finally answer the question of what exactly research Dr. Lazerian was doing before he disappeared?
