When every last technology-obsessed human is kidnapped from the Earth what choice do you have as one of the last two but to accept the conditions? At the age of 19 years, Lara Hall has seen little of the planet she calls home. When she's called upon to fulfil her 'purpose', unworldly, naïve Lara only has one choice if she's to save her mother and the human race. In the year 2567, the immortal and robotic 'Leto' have take control of the world and offered Lara a deal; fall in love with the last male, Jared... ...In 90 days. Relunctantly Lara agrees. The only snag in this seemingly perfect deal is that Lara and Jared are complete opposites. She's loving and kind; he cannot love. She's normally polite and friendly; he's cold-hearted and rude. To fall in love Jared must reveal his true nature to Lara and she must accept him for who he is. No matter what. Would you accept the conditions? *Written when I was 14 so I like to think this is not my best work. COMPLETED FIRST BOOK IN THE '90 DAYS' SERIES Copyright © 2014 Bestfootforward All rights reserved.

In a world where you're defined by class can anything else exist? "At the age of 16, each male and female must attend the earliest 'Summoning'. From there the ideal match is generated for each individual in a process known as the 'Sorting'. Once a pair have been matched, they will reside to the male's dwelling to live out their lives in harmony. If an individual is not matched at a Summoning, they must continue to attend until their match is Sorted. Failure to comply with these terms shall result in immediate imprisonment." - President Mangold ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the early ages both the caste system and the 'Sorting' were instituted. Society is based on a class system and the number of a particular caste branded on the left shoulder of each human. The caste system is rated from 1 to 5. Elle Silver is a 3. As is her twin sister, her mother and her father. On her 16th birthday, Elle and her sister Ana are summoned. Hoping to follow in the footsteps of her mother and father, Elle is anxious to find out who her match is and the caste he is from. Because as the her mother has always said: 'You would hope for your sake that you're not matched to a 1 or a 5.' Stereotypes are often accurate but occasionally they can be more wrong then you'll ever understand.
