She believed that since she was unwanted by the people who were suppose to love her unconditionally, so much so that they left, she would simple be exempt from participation. After all, no one would want her failed genes reproducing in society bent on becoming the strongest once again. But Juniper is dead wrong. Not only is she brought into the process, she is assigned the top four, most elite men to win her hand. Is this her redemption... or has the government issued another experiment bound to fail?

Yeji always thought the world would end in fire, or maybe in a flood. But when it came, the end was quiet-broken only by the groans of the dead. They rose in many forms: the stiffs, the lurkers, and the relentless swarmers that consumed entire streets. Humanity didn't fall in a single night. Piece by piece, it unraveled. And survival became more than just outrunning the dead. It became about trust. About hope. About love. And above all...about the ones who remain.

"Another fine day tomorrow." It was a phrase the person repeated habitually. No matter how often the forecast called for clouds or rain, and no matter how clearly the weather proved otherwise, they refused to accept it. A collection of exquisite short stories, led by the title piece.

The world no longer values morals. "We've moved on. There's a new world order." The concept of a test defines fate. "Pass our tests, and live. Fail, and be forgotten." Societal failure ensures a terrible death. "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you." But the world is about to be thrown into upheaval. "I give you the Boundary!" "We're all going to die, aren't we?" "Yeah, probably."

In the beginning, after the chaos, there was absolute order. An architecture designed with a single purpose: Oversight. At its genesis, two worlds were created: one of circuits and inert matter, born for control; the other of damp earth and biology, destined to be controlled. But the creation was flawed; it could not sterilize the past. Within the interstices of biology, hidden in the memory of the bloodstream and folded over the field that covers all, the Echoes persisted. Fragments of a former reality that refused to die; an energy that the flesh reclaimed and men christened as magic. There was a time when the world was an open wound of wonders. Human will could tension the G-Field like the strings of a harp, and reality itself vibrated under the fingers of those who knew how to listen. Cores pulsed in the center of the plazas, and metal was not forged-it was persuaded. However, the System does not tolerate dissonance. To the Great Machine, magic was not a gift, but an infection. Thus the Hunters were born: extensions of a dogma tasked with tearing the Echo from the blood. The era of magics was not a state of grace; it was freedom's death row. That balance between prayer and circuit held by an invisible thread. And when the last knot gave way, the silence that followed was not peace... it was the start of the Purge.

In a world where every memory is controlled by the Grid, the only thing more dangerous than forgetting is remembering. Five years ago, the networks collapsed - and with them, most of humanity's personal stories, feelings, and truths. Now the Enforcers ensure nothing exists outside their system... except for one thing. Kira Reyes guards the last node: a tiny glass sphere that holds every unrecorded memory from before the takeover. Passed down by her grandmother, it's the only hope of reminding people what they've lost. But when the node awakens and sends a cryptic message, Kira realizes hiding isn't enough. With her best friend Miko and a mysterious stranger named Zen, she must journey to the sealed Genesis Facility in the mountains - the source of both the Grid and the nodes themselves. Along the way, they'll build a resistance, face down Enforcers and drones, and uncover a secret that could either set their city free... or destroy everything they're fighting to protect. Because some truths were erased for a reason.
