"'Now then, first question- when did you begin having critical or negative feelings about the system?" the Chief Administrator probed. 'Around a month ago," I answered honestly, forcing myself to remain staring at the wall ahead of me as I revealed this. I searched for some fragment of hope or a sign, though I knew that there was none. Their intense stares sent chills throughout my body.' --------- Alexandra Leighwood belongs to a society with a slogan that says it all- "No decisions equals no power, no fighting, no problem." With a fair amount of brainwashing and an ever-present fear of the consequences that come from rebelling, most people bow down to the system, allowing themselves to be utterly controlled and manipulated. But 17-year-old Alexandra, or Alex, is just plain different. Her strong will and determination is exactly what the Administrators DON'T want. Seen as qualities posing a dire threat to society, Alex is in great danger. Will her refusal to give in be her greatest strength, or her greatest weakness? ---------- TRIGGER WARNING: There is a scene where, in the main character's dream, a character is cutting her wrist. Also there are a couple violent scenes (but they're not gory and not that bad). In addition, Alex is required to undress and shower in front of others. But that's about it!

Book 3 of the Burning series: the sequel to Dust and Ashes. The earth is no longer bound by the laws that once existed. Humanity is not contained to the desert domes as was once believed, but rather has begun to flourish throughout their broken earth. Diseases and desert monsters are among the least of the planet's worries: warfare waged in shadows, however, is another matter. They are all pawns. They are all players in this nasty little game that will never truly end. Look back on the mess you've made, darlings. This will be your legacy, if you let it. Will you let it?

Book 2 in the Burning Series: the sequel to Dust. The world is changing. There used to be men, and there used to be monsters. The line between the two is blurred now. Long ago, the earth spun in a constant cycle. There was life. There was hope. It is no longer such. Humanity cowers beneath glass domes in the midst of the desert, afraid of radiation that no longer pollutes the air. But there are darker things hiding in the wilderness now. Wild things. Cursed things. Burning things. Yet, not all is lost. Ashes, ashes. We all fall down sometimes. But what happens when you can't stand again?

All the earth is torn asunder. There used to be grass, and the sun used to be golden. Children played outside, climbing trees with smiles on their faces and grass stains on their knees. People worried about a million things that would soon be irrelevant, continuing without a clue of the disaster to come. Centuries later, what little is left of humanity survives in a society constructed beneath the surface of a glass dome, the world outside converted to little more than a desert wasteland. Survival is a routine rather than an effort, and all rules are surpassed by only one: if you want to survive, you never leave the dome. There's nothing alive out there. The radiation that soaks the earth makes sure of that. Until one day, someone finds a bloody, dust-covered handprint on the outside of the glass. Nothing will ever be the same again.
