Split into twenty Divisions, those who live here are threatened by homelessness, starvation, and life among the ruins. From the ashes of the rebellion comes the American Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA), a governmental corporation created to pick up the pieces. Amid the ranks stand Lynn Kramer, a stubbornly ambitious girl wanting nothing more than to relive the past, and Nolan Hood, a fiercely loyal young man desperate to leave it behind. Despite their successes, the ACA will soon face their greatest adversary yet. The Phantoms, a terrorist group driven by rage and blood lust. Only Lynn and Nolan are capable of putting an end to their devastation. Along the way, they'll discover many hidden truths about the place they've grown to call home.

The dress she wore accented her lithe, hour-glass figure and showed off her endowments. But, unfortunately, he had not pulled her aside to gawk at her. Plastering a smile on his face, he leaned in close, pressing his lips against her ear, whispering so only she would hear. "I think congratulations are in order." His voice low, tickling her ear and sending goosebumps coursing over he entire body. "What makes you say that?" Emma's teeth were clenched into a smile as oblivious guests passed by. "Because, my dear, you are carrying my child." He answered, brushing his lips against her flushed cheek. Fear and resentment suddenly filled her. How did he find out? ___________________________________________________________________________ CHAPTER UPDATES: I will be attempting to update with a new chapters weekly (on Fridays) AUTHOR NOTE: Please be aware this is mature content with adult content. cover design © OliviaDarlen

The Champion's Exam promises riches, adventure and the title that creates legends. Only on problem; it is known for killing its applicants. Eko Malone, a twelve-year-old boy stuck on an island his entire life, has only known one thing about his parents; they are famous Champions. Nira Malone, a twelve-year-old girl whom one day showed up on Emerald Island with no recollection of her past, only the fear that came from it. On the cusp of their teens, the pair participate in The Champion's Exam. Eko determined to become a Champion at all costs, to appease the parents he never knew. While Nira, determined to prove her past fears don't control her, tags along to make sure Eko doesn't kill himself. With the test underway, the pair meet allies, Zakora with the intent of revenge, Waldo with a quest to be of compassion, and Jackson, a strange child with a questionable past, on a mission to relieve his boredom. However, the two soon come across the deadliness the trials are truly capable of; the applicants. Deadly, bloodthirsty, manipulative, ruthless. Aaron Fable, a man of many mysteries, and man who has an interest in the pair, but is even feared by the Examiners themselves. What is there to fear? What are the trials that lead to becoming a Champion? And will everyone survive long enough to become one?
