A first year student who believes passionately in direct-democracy has to uncover the dark truth about her seemingly perfect world in order to save New Britain from a power-hungry leader. *** Athena wants to get through her first year at the New London University of Politics maintaining a reasonable influence level and taking part in as many votes as possible. Her world runs on voting: from the colour of clothing, to the price of food, everything is determined by the people. What Athena doesn't want is to be asked to spy on a group who believe voters have less choice than they realise. Nor does she expect enigmatic Dyo to get under her skin, causing her to wonder if her society is less perfect than it seems. But Dyo is keeping secrets too, and Athena struggles to work out who to trust and what she should do next. Her society may be broken, but it isn't unfixable - yet. From student to spy, traitor to revolutionary, Athena must work out who she wants to be, and which side she should be fighting for, before New London's citizens have their democracy destroyed forever.

Two girls, two secrets, and a boy who will make them question everything they've ever believed. *** Roxy thinks that she is in control of everything: with flames flaring at her fingertips and an equally fiery attitude, what more could she need? But when Brae arrives in the Helian Realm and sets off a whirlwind of emotions, she starts to question if her life is really as perfect as she'd always believed - and if she can play her part in a plan that will send Brae back to the Arcan Realm as a pile of ash. Alone in the Arcan Realm, Jasmine has none of Roxy's confidence or intensity. But she does have a secret - and Brae - and she's not going to give either up willingly. {Fire, Water and Air are also available as ebooks from all online retailers}
