Atlantis was the first city to sink. Hundreds of cities followed, and millions of people drowned, swallowed by an unforgiving ocean. It seemed as if half the world was underwater. Among the few survivors was Ayesha Akhdir. In a post-apocalyptic world, Ayesha must navigate visions and voices, discovering abilities she can't explain. Ayesha soon meets others who have survived, each with their own unique abilities. She doesn't know why she's survived or what her purpose is. She doesn't have long to find out. "Just as the wave prepared to crash down and engulf the land, swallowing everyone on it, blinding pain erupted in my head, sending me staggering away from the window. Before everything fell black I heard a familiar voice roar in my mind. 'THE BEGINNING IS NIGH!'"The Beginning of what? WHAT READERS ARE SAYING "I love the Description and imagery..." "...Readers will definitely want to tag along for the journey.""Exquisitely painful. Great writing." "I am in absolute awe of your imagination! It knows no bounds." "I am left feeling quite breathless by the way you paint your scenes. It must be a quite incredible place inside your mind!!" *Grammar Queen: the Story Crafters Awards1st: The Invisible Awards1st: The Recognition Awards1st: the World of Champions Awards1st: the Winter Rose Awards 20181st: the Astral Society Awards 20191st: the Winter Dusk Awards1st: the Biannual Beginners Writers Awards1st: Blue Orchid Awards2nd: the Geranium Awards2nd: The Greatest Awards2nd: the Story Crafters Awards2nd: the Winter Circle Awards2nd: Rose Awards*Cover by the fantastic @niranju98*This is a work of fanfiction based on Kresley Cole's 'The Arcana Chronicles'. It is written so that you don't need to have read the series to understand it so don't be deterred. Actually, those who have not read the series will likely get more out of my story. Some of the lines are the same for reasons that do mesh with the canon text.*…

Book 1:- Fatherland The Before was a time of disarray. Now is a time of order. Now is a time of peace.It was hundreds of years ago when The War ravaged the Earth, when our leaders decided that the countries were too violent to coexist. They cut off all contact, waiting for generations, hoping that a time would come when unity could be restored. They set a date. November 2500, long after all who saw The War have died, the issue would be reevaluated. It is up to the young, emerging leaders of each country to decide how the world should progress- should we make another attempt at unity, or continue on in the ignorant bliss of isolation?Warning: This book will contain themes such as racism, sexism, homophobia, heavy politics, rape, religion/anti-religion, and other occurrences of today. This book is not meant to gloss over the ugly, skirting around it. It's meant to hold up a mirror to what the world is and what it could become if left unchecked. Thank you so much to @Niranju98 for the wonderful cover.*First place in the Blossoming Story Awards**First place in the Blossom Awards**Second place in the Winter Holidays Awards**Second place in the Insidious Awards**Third Place in the Creativity Awards**Emerald Winner in the Open Earth Awards*…

There are those who face prejudice everyday, judged for crimes they didn't commit, simply based on their appearance. It only takes one person reach out and bridge that gap. If people are willing to look past the outside, discrimination could be eliminated with only a smile.Second Place in the Creativity Awards…
