JEMMA 7729 by Phoebe Wray
Have you ever wondered what the Government has on you?
The civil unrest is finally under control, but most North American citizens are confined to domed megacities, the only safe and healthy places. Or so Jemma7729 has been told and believes. But when her father takes her into the Countryside, and she sees the stars in a free night sky for the first time, she begins to doubt everything she’s learned. And to challenge it.
On her Choosing Day, when she must declare publicly what she will do and be for the rest of her life, she knows it is a lie and a trap and refuses. The State is quick to respond: arrest, remand without possibility of parole, and incarceration in a rehab facility that will change her mind, or kill her.
Her spirit can’t be crushed. Jemma escapes to the Countryside and begins a life of adventure and danger, criss-crossing the continent, battling the Administration Government of North America. Her specialty is blowing up the labs that manufacture mind-numbing drugs used to control rebellious people, especially women. A self-taught but skillful saboteur, she eludes and embarrasses the Fedguard and becomes their Enemy #1. To many others, Jemma is a heroine fighting for freedom.
She loves her lovely, starry night, but she’s lonely. That all changes when she joins the Movers, a revolutionary group working to establish a shadow government — by the ballot or the bullet. There she finds a little peace, friendship, a mentor, even love, and a better way to fight the tyranny.
But her luck can’t last forever. The State wants her for rebellion, female aggression, failure to make choices, and inappropriate behavior. If Jemma7729 is caught, she faces immediate, permanent and uncontestable deletion.

Sword Masters by Selina Rosen
“No woman will be considered for a post as a Sword Master.”
Tarius, the daughter of a great warrior, is determined to avenge the death of her father, Jabone, despite her country’s archaic rules of the place of women, or her breaking down those rules — especially the one that says women can’t wield steel.
The Amalites, mortal and ancestral enemy to the Jethrik, have slaughtered two of the greatest warriors the Jethriks have; Tarius’ mother and father. Her father’s cause becomes hers and like her father, she joins the Sword Master’s academy.
But, while her father kept only one secret from his family, she is keeping the deepest secret of all. When the head master’s beautiful, wilful, daughter Jena falls in love with Tarius, thinking she’s a man, Tarius knows an enemy’s sword, or spear, will not be her undoing.
Tarius leads the Jethrik armies to victory after victory against the maniacal Amalites, for her king. Even though she saved the kings life twice, this will not stop his wrath when he learns fully the truth behind Tarius and her skilled sword play.

Lachlei by M. H. Bonham
Pitted against the god of death, Lachlei only has one chance to avenge her husband’s murderer... or join him.
Two thousand years after the world’s total destruction, Areyn Sehduk, the god of death, has returned to rekindle the war.
Appearing as a warrior from a rival clan, Areyn slays the king of the Lochvaur, knowing that he can shift the balance in the world of mortals.
But the king’s death brings an unlikely adversary. Lachlei, the queen of the Lochvaur, proves to be a daunting warrior.
Swearing vengeance against the rival clan, Lachlei thrusts her people into a deadly war against demons and undead.
Only Rhyn’athel, the god of warriors, can help her. Disguised as a mortal, Rhyn’athel joins Lachlei’s elite guard in the hopes of preventing total destruction of the world.
But Rhyn’athel has fallen hopelessly in love with Lachlei, and his presence in the world changes the very fabric of the future.
Lachlei soon becomes the focus of two powerful gods as she becomes the fulcrum for the fate of the entire empire.
