Elysia is a Freelancer; she does not live in one of the protected cities, she is not genetically engineered, and she is a woman. She is also not from this Earth, where there is only 10% of the once habitable land that is still fertile and can sustain human life, and women have become a scarcity and a hot commodity for the elite.
Alex is her best friend, and one of the elite. After being adopted by a rich family, he now lives the life of one of the last few million people on Earth, so 17th birthday marks the day of His Choice - the day that he will select a bride to help repopulate the Earth.
Both have been dropped into a world that they never thought that they would have to understand, and they have to, together, find a way to get back to their home. Their Earth.

From Darkness Comes - Book 2 in the Ash and Ember Series
She survived the end. But it's only the beginning. Ever thought escaping Earth meant survival. Instead, it meant sacrifice. She lost her parents, her sister, and the two boys she loves-left behind to an uncertain fate. Now, on a distant planet she never asked to call home, Ever reunites with the brother she thought was dead. But this new world is not the refuge it promised to be.

As a genetically modified human, she carries a dangerous secret: she may be the only woman capable of creating life. To Environettix, the ruthless corporation pulling the strings, that makes her their most valuable-and most vulnerable-target. And she isn't the only one.
