    Bastovar is a city of quiet wars. Above its rain-soaked streets, people gather in warm cafés, music drifts through the night, and life appears almost ordinary. Below the surface, mercenaries fight in hidden arenas, Variant powers shape the balance of the world, and the ancient dynasties hold the city together through fragile alliances. What begins as a seemingly stranger listening from the corner of a room slowly becomes something deeper-something dangerous. Because in Bastovar, even a song can start a war. And the Wolves may have just found the one person he can't walk away from.

Despite the seeming kindness of Kaden, a young man her own age, Ara doesn't know if she can trust them. Then again, there's no way she can cross the plague-ridden city on her own. Men. Monsters.

Milena, an obedient teenager, has to team up with the supernatural creatures she was taught to fear in order to escape the people she once loved. ***** In a world where humans must hide underground to stay safe from the creatures who roam the night, Milena's life as an outcast is hardly worth noticing. But on the day her village is attacked and her life is spared by the mysterious Elias, Milena is forced to throw everything she thought she knew about her world out the window. Because while Elias looks just as human as she is, he's actually the leader of a pack of wolf shifters, and the bond she feels with him compels her to start asking questions about the things she's been told about the creatures of the night. Because if her village was willing to lie about something like this, what other secrets might they be keeping from her?

    They say belief is suicide. They're not wrong. Where I come from, faith gets you a bullet in the head, a knock at the door that never ends well, or a name etched on a list you'll never live to see. Still, I believe. So does Basil, my only constant in a world stripped of everything soft. We've been hunted for years, slept under stone, eaten from dirt, prayed in secret, and watched good people vanish for whispering the wrong words. We've made it all these years with nothing but our prayers and each other. But then came the rumor about a sanctuary where the believers can live fearless. A lie, probably. A trap, almost definitely. Basil wanted to chase it anyway, because we owed it to ourselves, he said, and to the others who share our struggle. I went with him only because I couldn't bear to watch him go alone. I should've stopped him... But now it's too late. ❝Islam began as something strange, and it will return to being strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the strangers(Ghuraba).❞ ‹بَدَأَ الإِسْلاَمُ غَرِيبًا وَسَيَعُودُ كَمَا بَدَأَ غَرِيبًا فَطُوبَى لِلْغُرَبَاءِ› (Includes books one and two, in The Ghuraba Duology.)

    She should not exist in this world. She comes from a past where her story was meant to end - and yet she awakens in a reality where every day is a fight for survival and where morality depends on who is holding the knife. She learns this world slowly: its brutal rules, fragile alliances, and the people forced to choose between their hearts and their responsibilities. She sees more, knows more - and that is precisely why she cannot be trusted. On her path stand people torn between who they must be and who they wish they could be. Relationships are born from tension, anger, and unspoken promises - where trust is a weapon, and love is a weakness. A story about a world where surviving does not always mean living. _______________________________ The story starts at the beggining of season 2 of the100 and follows main threats.

    [COMPLETED] "Don't come any closer." "Your a feisty one aren't you?" He states with a slight smirk as he pushes forward, ignoring my statement and forcing my hand to retract and defend my body from a closer proximity. My ability to form a response is shattered as he moves forward even more, his body now an arm's length away. My breath hitches in my throat. "You see," He begins, cocking his head to the side as he takes another step closer, like a predator closing in on its prey. "There's a slight problem with that sweetheart." His tall frame leans over mine, the heat from his body decorating my skin with goosebumps as he moves his face mere centimetres away from mine. He places his hands on the wall behind me, caging me in and stays still for a split second before moving down to my ear and whispering. "Because you are never escaping me again." - Five years. It all began five years ago. The creatures our parents told us of in harmless stories, the ones that became a common catalyst for nightmares amongst young children, were real. The new world was plagued by monsters that took complete control over human life in a matter of months. Our failure to believe in the myths that our parents unknowingly warned us of became the fuel to our demise. Everything is different now. Now, humans live in poverty with the purpose of serving those deemed superior to us in a system designed purely to oppress. Now, life is about survival, everyday more dangerous than the last. Now, we belong to those who call themselves werewolves. Maeve Evans is luckier than most, with a roof over her head and a husband who would die to protect her. The harsh reality she has grown to accept shatters around her when she hears that one word. The word that seals her fate. Mate. ***** Disclaimer: mature content.

Kim Haejin was never supposed to be pretty. She was supposed to be forgotten - just another fisherman's daughter with calloused hands and a childhood drowned in blood. But the Capitol had other plans. They took her body and dressed it in silk. They took her scars and called them tragic. They put a knife in her hand and whispered "Smile for the cameras." Haejin learned quickly: beauty is a weapon. And love is a liability. Only Finnick Odair remembers the girl she used to be - the wild thing with sea-salt hair and a knife between her teeth. In the arena, in the Capitol, in the years after her victory - Haejin must choose: Be the doll they made her. Or become the blade she always was.

    Yeji always thought the world would end in fire, or maybe in a flood. But when it came, the end was quiet-broken only by the groans of the dead. They rose in many forms: the stiffs, the lurkers, and the relentless swarmers that consumed entire streets. Humanity didn't fall in a single night. Piece by piece, it unraveled. And survival became more than just outrunning the dead. It became about trust. About hope. About love. And above all...about the ones who remain.

    In the year 3000, the greatest luxury isn't gold or power-it's a single tear. The human race has become a collection of "Grey Souls," high-functioning shells who have lost the ability to feel. The world is efficient, quiet, and spiritually bankrupt. As the CEO of the Violet Corporation, Yuji Violet has found the solution to this "Great Boredom." She doesn't just want to study emotions; she needs to extract them. By dragging 21st-century teenagers into her "School Ward," Yuji is starting a harvest. The Heart-Locks around their necks aren't just for tracking ranks-they are 31st-century siphons. Every time Mealana Miller feels a surge of rage, every time Gemma trembles in fear, and every time a student experiences the crushing weight of betrayal, that raw "emotional energy" is beamed forward through time, "feeding" the hollow citizens of the future. Yuji has created a factory of suffering to give her people a reason to live. But the harvest is reaching its peak. To get the most concentrated dose of humanity, Yuji has designed the Chamber of Reciprocity-a final game where the emotions will be so intense, the energy could reboot the human soul. Mealana Miller is the star of the show, but she's tired of being a battery. As the glass begins to crack, Mealana realizes that the only way to stop the harvest is to feel something so powerful it overloads the system: A choice that Yuji Violet's technology can't contain.
