United we fell . . . Tried as an adult and imprisoned for life at age seventeen, Clarke Simmons is hardly your average young woman. Day after day trapped in a cell, she dreams of freedom until one night she gets her wish. The federal prison, where she has been detained for the last five years, is overcome by a mutiny from within. She escapes only to find that the country of Darkania is in a state of full-blown anarchy, now run by a heinous cult of anarchists who call themselves The Trinity. In this story, everyone is homeless. Everyone is starving. Everyone is desperate. Clarke, now an ex-convict nomad, wanders the chaotic streets of Sanctum City alongside fellow comrade Ronnie. Together, they survive by looting supplies, seeking shelter, and taking out anyone who gets in their way. All goes south when radicals kidnap them as hostages. The two girls are thrust in a predicament when they are drafted into a rebellion to save Darkania from extinction. But is this group who they appear to be? And whom is the mysterious man dressed in all black that Clarke finds herself eerily connected to? In this story, no path is entirely what it seems. . . . Divided we remain

The world as we know it ended 209 years ago. From a desert wasteland springs a single kingdom, ruled by a tyrannical King and trapped in an endless war against the shadowy desert warriors. As a desperate bid to save what remains of humanity, society has been split into two distinct classes, nicknamed the Court and the Commons. For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone. Reckless and impulsive, wanted by the King's guard, Kay has become known as the Runner. Using the city's rooftops as her personal domain, she manages to keep one step ahead of the King with one hand buried in the purses of the courtiers. Driven by the plight of the commoners and the unjust death of her family, Kay seizes the chance to graduate from small-time thievery to full-scale rebellion. Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past. Plucked from the streets and thrown into the shimmering palace court, Kay must use her every strength to blend into a world where she doesn't belong, closer to the enemy than she ever thought she would be.

And most of those who do survive are members of the violent gangs, predators who live in the big cities. They patrol the countryside looking for slaves, for fresh victims to bring back into the city for their favorite death sport: Arena One. The death stadium where opponents are made to fight to the death, in the most barbaric of ways. There is only one rule to the arena: no one survives. Ever. Deep in the wilderness, high up in the Catskill Mountains, 17 year old Brooke Moore manages to survive, hiding out with her younger sister, Bree.
