Elizabeth James, a small town country girl, was happy and content with her life just the way it was. She didn't want anyone or anything to change it. Unfortunately the year that she dreaded the most was upon her, the year that she would turn 18. It is in that year that she would find out who the "Match Maker", a device created by the Soldier based government, matched her up with. In fact, all girls coming upon the year that they would turn 18 will be matched with someone. They are then expected to leave their family to spend the rest of their life with their "perfect match". Xavier Victor Worthington III is from the upper class of society and has been training as a soldier his whole life. After graduating high school he was deemed fit to go into advanced training for being a higher rank. He has been in his advanced training for three years now and is already a strong and well known General in the Soldier based government. He is going on 21 and is beginning to wonder when he will be notified about who his match is and when she will arrive. In this society where the people are matched, will Xavier be able to win the heart of a very strong headed, smart and driven Elizabeth. Or will Elizabeth slowly learn the deep, dark secrets of the government she adored, and discover that it is nothing like the utopian illusion that they created and possibly forever be scared of Xavier and what he is capable of doing.

"It's unlike any paranormal book I've read--very smart, very fresh, and very addictive, and very still in my mind." –And Anything Bookish In 1692, when witch trials gripped the community of Salem, Massachusetts, twenty-six children were accused as witches, exiled, and left for dead. Fourteen of them survived. The Survivors is the first installment of the tantalizing tales of the fourteen ill-fated Survivors and their descendants, who have been content in hiding for over three centuries.

After all… HOW DO YOU KILL A SURVIVOR? The Survivors will steal your heart and invade your mind.
