Joined by rival General and former friend, Damien Montague, Rowan is determined to bring the invasion to an end- and Sam Victor is determined to stop her.

Sent as a spy within Empire lines, Sam fights heart and soul for the rebellion's cause, but the battle is always more than meets the eye.

Caught in the middle of the clash, civilian Gwen Ash struggles just to keep herself and her family alive.

As the Empire retaliates with crushing force, all begin to wonder if the invasion was doomed from the beginning.  Will the spies save the Offensive from ruin?  Can a single spark awaken the ashes of war?  What's more, what will become of the friendship blossoming between Sam and the unwitting General?

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published! by vblawnola

It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.

Rebelling the Alpha King by zero_gravity500

"I've waited for you for a long time." His golden eyes blazing. Barely tilting his head down in a small bow. "My Queen." *** We started as whispers and then became roars. The world now knows me as Hala. One of the initial founders of our Rebellion. Strong. Fierce. Cunning. But most importantly, enigmatic. For years now, I've spent every waking day, every breath, fighting for our Rebellion. Our goal, to bring down the Alpha King. Alpha King Aiden is too powerful, too autonomous. Kings before him have wreaked havoc. Why should only one person get to rule the entirety of our packs? No... Nothing will stop me from accomplishing this mission. My real name...is Sloane and I only have one thing to say: Death to the Crown and long live the Rebellion. *** 18+ certain chapters ;) Enemies-to-lovers troupe.

Gods Under The Dome by OctaviaLocke

[Editors' Choice 2020] In a near-future, post-apocalyptic world, a lone girl must choose between becoming the next-in-line to head a corrupt government or siding with those who wish to see the world burn. Order, suppression and lies, or chaos, truth and freedom? Whatever is chosen, one thing is clear: both sides bleed. ***** Every year, the Federated United Americas tasks its elite soldiers to participate in a nation-wide Cull. Hundreds of children are taken from homes and put into one of three Facilities. While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking government jobs and militia commandos, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the FUA has to offer: The Council. Beckett Blake is known in the Facility as Ten, and she alongside six others branded 'Liars', have spent years enduring confinement and rigorous testing in order to secure a future as head of the FUA. When a terrorist group breaks into the Facility and kidnaps Ten and the others, she's forced to re-examine her future plans. Required to become a drug runner in the mega-city known as Neon Brights, Ten must decide if the future she'd been promised since childhood is worth the lies it's built upon. Will Ten choose the future that's been decided for her, or will she carve out one all her own, even if that path leads to her destruction? Cover by @eosophobias

Force Destiny by EdenWoodsParker

Immediately following the events of The Last Jedi, the battle for the galaxy continues between the First Order and the last of the Resistance. As the new Supreme Leader takes the throne, the First Order is focused on finding and destroying all who oppose them. The Resistance had disappeared into hiding and desperation has forced them to explore the gray areas of war. Meanwhile, on opposite sides of the war, Rey and Kylo Ren are forced to face the realities of their bond, their complicated relationship, their loyalty to their causes, and their understanding of the Force. Could their star-crossed connection be tied to the fate of the galaxy? This is a slow burn! Enemies to friends to lovers. This story continues the arcs and themes beautifully woven through The Last Jedi, as well as the narrative from the previous two trilogies. All plot elements are intended to be canon-compliant through TLJ. This is 100% complete.

The Skabelse by iRowan

NOW A PUBLISHED BOOK!! Centuries have passed since the Wars. In the beginning it was hatred and greed that filled the leaders of the old world, fueling them to take up arms against neighboring countries. Nations went to war against one another and soon all forms of government fell as chaos took over, leaving everyone to fend for themselves. Soon, mankind's destructive nature took over and left the majority of the world in ruin. Those that were left were quick to blame who was behind the demise of civilization itself. Over time, women gathered and began to believe that it was men who were responsible as they are temperate and quick to act on anger. But men blamed women who would deceive and manipulate them. This ultimately caused one last battle known as the Great War, causing thousands of fatalities until there was hardly anyone left. It was then that the few leaders that were left, now known as the High Kings and Queens, made a pact to never repeat the past. Men and women would live separately and never speak again, except every year a selected tribe from each gender would gather to procreate at the ceremony known as the Skabelse to keep the population arise. Rowan, a hardened warrior princess, is one of the many chosen as a tribute for her tribe, the Glade. Being raised to hate men, she sees this being worse than a death sentence. Will Rowan be able to look past her abhorrence for the opposite gender when she is paired with the handsome Prince from Rorik?

Hidden Flame by karlithomasss

In the war-ravaged territory of Cadence, Olivia has spent her life hidden in the shadows-she's the secret her homeland cannot afford to lose. But no one has ever told her why. Years after the war's end, Vorrath, their relentless enemy, still casts a menacing shadow over Cadence. But the weight of isolation, the desperation for answer's and the sacrifice of others grow too heavy to bear, forcing Olivia to take a daring risk. Disguised as one of them, she infiltrates Vorrath, enrolling in their elite academy deep within enemy territory. Amid Vorrath's walls, Olivia searches for answers and uncovers truths about the war-secrets that not only threaten her survival but shatter everything she thought she knew about her homeland and herself. Her path collides with Tristan Hudson, a handsome yet dangerous academy trainer who happens to be the son of Vorrath's ruthless president. Olivia knows she should stay as far away from him as possible-but what if that's not an option? As she navigates life at the academy, it becomes evident there's something very different about her, something she won't be able to hide for long. Loyalties fracture, forbidden emotions ignite, and Olivia realizes she is more than just a hidden secret-she is the key to everything. All she wanted was freedom-but now, she'll have to fight to survive in a world where betrayal and revelation could cost her everything. *** I waited until it was COMPLETE and published the whole book for you. :) ENJOY!!!! #romantasy #fantasy #romance #youngadult #newadult #slowburn #enemiestolovers #magic

The Metaphorical Key Book II- Forge the Path by AM-Morning

(If you haven't read the first book, stop here! Don't spoil yourself, the first book is also on my profile) The death of a friend can break a person, or reshape them. It could be the straw that broke the camel's back, or a motivator, a push in the right direction. Aiden isn't sure where he falls. All he knows is the guilt and the desire for vengeance. Maybe things could've been different if he hadn't made such a disastrous mistake. But then an opportunity arises for Aiden to learn more about his fallen comrade, to get to know him even beyond the grave. And like death, everything that follows could make or break the rebellion. Note: This story contains a subplot featuring a romance between two boys. It's presented as normal. If you have a problem with the lgbt+ community, then this isn't the book - or authour - for you. I'm a member of the community myself. Happy pride month! Spread love, not hate. <3
