The Journey
Series name: The Cycle of Time (four novels)
Genre: Medieval fantasy
Status: Completed; in final editing
Page count: 381
Word count: 87,287 words
Plans: Will be published by the end of the summer (or year, at most)
Synopsis:
Darkness is nearer than the land of Janíza knows. Fire Eye, the ruthless ruler, is weakening the cities, and before the people will be able to react, everything they know will vanish.
Alli and Dirco, two orphans living in the slums of a secluded village, live in this time. Dirco's storytelling business is declining, and just as they begin to consider moving to another city, a stranger appears and hires them to travel with him, claiming he is interested in Dirco's stories. Things only become darker and stranger from there, as both Alli and Dirco are thrown into the midst of an ongoing war that seems to revolve around Dan, the stranger.
Now neck-deep in a battle that began far before either of them were born, Alli and Dirco struggle to survive as Dan drags them from one end of Janíza to the other. When she is suddenly forced to question everything she had ever known, will Alli have the strength to fight or will she hide forever in the small village of Geggon?
The Cycle of Time has just begun. The tests have started. Before she knows what is happening, Alli will be thrust into a strange new world. If she and Dirco don't accept it, all will be lost.
Beginning poem (it's a series thing, and very relevant, actually...placed in the beginning pages, before the story starts):
Health for sickness and life for death,
The Cycle of Time never rests.
Around it goes without a breath,
Will you pass its ceaseless test?

Synopsis (tentative, unedited):
Will and his adopted Lowlander brother, Roy, have always feared being recruited by the Government's army. Roy has told stories of the Orion's brutal training regimine and the penalty for failing to accept the Government's standards, but in Will's Middle Class village, this all seems worlds away.
Now the day has come. A strange, female government agent recruits both Roy and Will, and they are immediately sent to an intensive training camp. There, they meet two other teens, who both seem to hate the Orion and all they stand for. Their mysterious young trainer, a fearsomely lovely young general named Jayd, throws them into the worst training regimen they could ever imagine. Using their individual skills, Will and his new friends escape—but accidentally capture Jayd, which instantaneously labels them traitors, kidnappers, and lethal criminals.
Struggling through the frozen, desolate wastelands of Russia, Will, Roy, and their friends become entangled in a chase against their captors. When they realize they can't survive without the help of Jayd, their enemy, they must endanger themselves in order to stay alive. The Orion catches them once more, and they are faced with the most difficult decision they will ever make; trust Jayd, the confused Orion agent, or end her life and return home safely?

Synopsis (unofficial, unedited):
Trigg is a little orphan living in the alleys of London with his savior and best friend, an African boy named Evan. When the slave-trading pirate, Captain Rex, kidnaps Evan, Trigg desperately attempts to rescue him only to be plunged to the sea that he innately fears.
Trigg awakens on the deck of the infamous pirate ship, the Red Raven, captained by Rhett Hawke himself. Trigg demands they go after his friend, and Rhett consents under the condition that Trigg be his cabin boy and 'stop lying like some kind of pirate,' and they set off to save Evan before he is sold into slavery.
But Rhett has other plans.
After meeting with captain Rex, Rhett Hawke learns of a treasure that only he can get to—due to a certain mechanism and a particular ancestor he seems to have—and is immediately intrigued, as long as he can prevent Captain Rex from capturing him and using him as the key. Unfortunately, Rhett's plans are altered, and his fears come true. Can Rhett manage to get his treasure, save the boys, and stay alive all at once?

Synopsis:
What would Earth be like if Hitler won the war?
The Aryan race rules all of the world except for Britain, and Nazis are evaluating children daily to see if they are Aryan—or alien. Lane Rubio, the illegal child of two "aliens" and as 'imperfect' as if gets, saves a girl's life and is mistaken for an Ayran, thus sent to receive mandatory training in the Aryan boarding school, die Schule. When he is paired with two of the best students in die Schule on a mission to seek and destroy the alien rebellion in Britain, will he choose acceptance and hide his true identity forever? Or will he risk his life to save his people?
The Sentinels
Series name: The Cycle of Time (four novels)
Genre: Medieval fantasy
Status: Writing/outlining
Page count: 59
Word count: 11,478
Plans: Top priority. Due to the adding of many very important characters, it may take longer than expected to finish, but I hope to complete it within two years.
Synopsis (unofficial):
Janíza darkens still as Milerax's evil magic clouds the land. Fire Eye's armies are prepared to battle. The warrior fairy clan is in danger of being wiped out. Yet the Sentinels must be found.
Alli and Dirco have completed their journey to the rebel group called the Jaen and are now challenged with finding the Sentinels, legendary warriors who aided the ancient Guardians of Janíza. With Milerax's dark magic intoxicating the island the Jaen calls home, Alli and Dirco set out to the Hylan Islands, unsure of what challenges await them.
Meanwhile, Eadën must leave his family and slip into the old and familiar armor of a soldier. His orders are to distract Fire Eye by attacking her city, but with fear clouding his senses and an unconquerable assassin hunting him, he must race to stay alive. Coming face-to-face with the life he left long ago, will Eadën give in to his past and relive his old life?
The Cycle of Time continues to spin. Darkness fills the hearts of the heroes of Janíza's past. If the evil prevails, not even the Sentinels will be able to save what is left.

Status: Half-finished
Page count: 241 (for some reason it's significantly larger than The Deadlands...maybe it has something to do with two teenage girls who talk too much writing a book together...)

Synopsis (unofficial, unedited, thrown-together):
Will, Roy, Nick, and Aaryn have escaped the labor camp and have returned to American soil once more—but far away from the places they call home. With the lives of hundreds of escapees in his hands, Roy takes on the role of the leader of the new rebel group. Thus, their journey begins.

They travel across America, through the Deadlands, the Middle Classes, and eventually to the Upper Districts, gathering followers and training men to fight against the Orion. With the Orion at their tail every step of the way, and with new doubts arising and relationships straining, can the rebels make it to the Upper Districts and infiltrate the Orion’s own base city without breaking apart?

I can't wait to read 'Never Listen to Your Best Friend's Little Brother'! It sounds awesome!
-Angelina Zoe
Yeah, it's going to be a little comedy, a little heart-warming-ness, and a little sadness...but mostly mostly comedy.
:)
I hope I finish it for you!
~Ana
I agree that is an awesome title and sounds right up my alley.
