STEEL (The Aurum Trilogy Book 1)

I WASN'T CREATED TO CARE. I WASN'T MADE TO PITY. MY PURPOSE WAS TO BE THE PERFECT SOLDIER, A FLAWLESS PIECE OF KILLING MACHINE. YES, THIS IS WHAT I AM. THIS IS WHY THEY MADE ME.

I WAS CREATED TO KILL, NOT TO FEEL.

Aurum, a vast landmass formed after the Apocalypse. Ruled by a totalitarian government called The Control, citizens are expected to consider their every word they say as LAW otherwise it would mean death. The population is unjustly zoned into 38 Divisions according to wealth, power and social stature with Division 1 being the richest and Division 38 being the most marginalized.

Aside from strict rules imposed by government officials, boys and girls who reach the age of eighteen are expected to follow the path destined to them by The Control. They would chose their college, their job, what division they'll be inhabiting and who will they marry. Enter Jonathan Kress, the most eligible bachelor in Aurum and the son of the wealthy Control officer, Jonas Kress. On the eve of his eighteenth birthday, he runs away to escape his fate but gets tangled up in the uprising caused by The Alliance, a rebel group that stirred the Division War several years ago. He is rescued by Lauren Steel, a trained assassin with a secret of her own. Coming from different sides of the road, Jonathan and Lauren have a hard time adjusting and reading one another. Soon enough, they discover something that seems to draw both of them together and they could no longer stop it despite how forbidden it looks. Lauren knows that if she doesn't hold back her feelings for Jonathan, she'd become weak. Jonathan knows that if he keeps loving Lauren, he is going against Aurum's most powerful authorities, including his own father.

WHAT IF YOU KNOW LOVE WOULD KILL YOU? WOULD YOU TAKE THE RISK? WILL YOU FIGHT BACK?
