Congrats everyone on conquering this round! 1500 words in 48 hours is a hell of a feat, and you're all excellent writers.

Feel free to share your title and synopsis below! There were some crazy prompts this time and I'm stoked to see where you went with them :3

Group 4: Fairy Tale, Gold Rush, Estimator 
The synopsis isn't the best, but I'm happy with everything else, even if I did have to cut 300 words in the final hour... 

The Golden Estimate

The City of Running Gold is rife with prospectors, beauty, and distrust. If she summons the fabled Grand Estimator, can Jakia restore the love of her neighbors?

G1 Thriller / An interception / An alumnus

I'm so greatful for my beta readers helping me transform my suspense historical fiction into something resembling a thriller. Struggled as I love the true story so much that anything I added or changed felt wrong Decided in the end that it has to work mostly as is - and if the judges think it's too much hist fic I'll live with it.

Halting the Uranium Club

In 1943, the world race to build the atomic bomb and Germany occupied Norway has Europe’s largest heavy water plant. When intercepted communications show the importance of the facility for Nazi research, Norwegian resistance fighters are sent to destroy it. Based on real events.
