London, 2026 - New security laws threaten the existence of the free press. Where the exposure of government secrets is harshly punished, the dangerous research is left to a squad of deviant freelancers known as the BLACK INK SOCIETY - a witty thief, a well-read anarchist and a psychopathic genius. With highly illegal methods and infamous creativity, this unlike group of investigators uncovers secrets, affairs and scandals directly under the eyes of the powerful. As a newspaper editor is murdered under mysterious circumstances and the team starts to trace back his research to a secretive pharmaceutical corporation, they find themselves in a mesh of lies and corruption that soon puts their very lives at risk - and threatens to reveal their own, dark secrets. But the Black Ink Society will deliver the news. Whatever the cost. ~ A dark, fast-paced dystopian thriller filled with coolness, wit and sardonic humour. BLACK INK SOCIETY has reached #113 in Sci-Fi and is now featured on BadassReads and Lemon-Haze's "Young Writers to Change Wattpad". "My eyes were glued and my imagination was full steam ahead. [...] Anyone who enjoys smart dialogue, quirky defiant characters and intelligent writing will get a kick out of this." - Mr. Ridiculous' Reviews "This story is amazing. There's nothing more I can say, read it and you'll see what I'm talking about." - Rainbow's Reviews "BLACK INK SOCIETY [...] reminds me of a cross between Sherlock and the A-Team. In other words, two of my favorite things put together, and I'm loving every bit of it." - Mack's Critiques and Reviews

A final obstacle stands in Cadet Wren Yorick's way before he can join an elite 23rd-century military squadron: a trust exercise on a long-abandoned installation on the planet Venus that is rumored to be haunted. Isolated and disoriented upon waking up from his induced sleep, Wren must rely on the guidance of his superiors to complete the task. They remotely direct him on his solitary journey through a vicious and unfamiliar landscape rife with whipping winds and extreme heat to the remnants of the former colony. His commanding officers, however, do little to neutralize his sense that there is something more, something somehow occupying the bleak geography that he traverses. This leads Wren to question what he knows about his mission, his commanders and even his own eyes and ears before he reaches the small colonial outpost, at which point his life forever changes.
