Having grown up believing that the Devil is God, Avalon Kandor and the rest of the youth living in the city of Eden spend their teenage years in pursuit of the one thing that matters: the title of a Pure. Awarded upon the completion of their education, it is both expected and an extraordinary honour. But becoming one of the Pure isn't as easy as you would think. Twice a year, for every year they attend school, the youth of Eden have to sit the Test: an evaluation of their knowledge and belief in God. In the younger years, getting a few questions on the Test wrong is nothing of concern, but upon reaching high school things start getting dangerous. Make a single misstep and you could face Expulsion and life as an impure. Get a wrong answer on the Test and you'll be Removed - permanently. Avalon knows the risks that accompany disobedience - has experienced them first hand - but when she's told that her world is based on lies, she'll do anything to find out the truth. Even if the truth turns out to be worse than not knowing anything at all. © 2014 by shayebay This novel is entirely a work of fiction.

[The sequel to Cold Fire] All her life, Melissa has been defined by something she's had no control over: a rare, undiagnosed disease. But even with all the scientific explanations offered to her by the undeniably clueless doctors, she's been living on lies. Because as it turns out, her disease isn't even a disease at all, but an unfortunate side-effect of swapping souls with her childhood friend, Sarah. Now, after swapping back into her true body, Melissa discovers that getting to this point was only half the battle. Her powers are suddenly uncontrollable, she's haunted by fragmented memories of her past at night and plagued by unanswerable questions during the day. On top of all that, she's due to enrol in a new school in only a matter of days. Never mind the fact that no one can get her name right, if she doesn't learn how to control her powers before school starts, she'll be the talk of the town. But there are deadlier battles on the horizon. Suddenly, the half-century old prophecy that paints her as the saviour has come back to bite her in the butt, and if she can't figure out how to stop her uncle before his new project turns into a reality, they may very well end up on course for an apocalypse. All Melissa has ever wanted was a chance at life - a normal life - but now it looks as though she won't survive the winter. And when someone she loves comes back from the dead, she realises that the answers she seeks are buried much deeper then she could ever have imagined, and in order to find out the truth about her future, she'll have to go back a hundred years in the past. © 2015 by shayebay This novel is entirely a work of fiction.

There's something wrong with Kiran's city. First it was Lower Sector - flickering street lights, the lighted windows going out one by one, like candles blown out by a slow, invisible breeze - and now Middle Society is starting to feel the effects of the Black Wave: the slow but steady darkness sweeping over the city. Kiran is all too aware of the way the street lights are dimming, of the way her bedroom light takes one, two, three tries to turn on. Her sister pretends not to notice it and her mother is content with letting the Black Wave take its course, but Kiran is worried. Already, whispered stories are spreading throughout her school, like an airborne disease that tells a tale of panic, fear and death in Lower Sector. So when she's approached by a mysterious man in black who tells her nothing but an address and a whispered, "fight for the light," her decision is an easy one. Because in Kiran's world, there are only two options: learn to live in the darkness, or fight to bring back the light. © 2015 by shayebay This novel is entirely a work of fiction.
