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.

Elemental Hunger
Sixteen-year-old Gabriella Kilpatrick can shoot fire from her hands, which would be great if she didn't get blamed for a blazing inferno that kills 17 schoolmates. When Gabby is commanded to Manifest her Element, everyone knows what she is: a genetic abnormality. Not to mention guilty. So she does two logical things to survive. 1. She runs. 2. She hacks off her hair to assume a new role-that of "Gabe", because in her world, only boys are Firemakers. Not only does she have to act like a guy, she has to pretend to know everything a Firemaker should know. When Gabby meets Airmaster Adam Gillman, he believes her act and pledges to serve on "Gabe's" Council. But Adam has the mark of a sentry and spent years obeying Alex, the Supreme Elemental. And Alex wants Gabby-the-genetic-freak dead and gone before she can gather the magical protection of a full Council. With Adam's lies that sound like truths and rumors that Alex isn't really a Firemaker-or a man-Gabby sets out to charter a Council of her own. In order to uncover the truth, Gabby will have to learn who she can trust, how to control her own power, and most of all, how to lead a Council of Elementals, most of whom have more control over their power than she does. If she can't, she'll find herself just like those 17 schoolmates: burned and six feet under. Read the whole Elemental series, right here on Wattpad: 1. Elemental Rush 2. Elemental Hunger 3.

Boy meets girl, girl falls in love, blah-blah-blah. Let me be clear with you from the beginning. This is not that kind of story. My name is Cait, and I live in the great city of New York. Okay, so maybe I've only lived here for a week and a half, sue me, but what else am I supposed to say? This strange and beautiful metropolis is my new home, or the closest thing I've probably ever had to a home, and I intend to make the most of my time here. I'm 20 years old, an ex-sophomore in college, and I'm really good at math. Obviously, I've never filled out any kind of bio before. This is my story. It's the kind of story where reality bites, love isn't always what it seems, and maybe - just maybe - everything won't suck in the end. #43 in General Fiction - 12/02/2016 #44 in Teen Fiction - 6/11/2017 _____ © Jandra Sutton. 2016.
