What would you risk if you were running out of time to have the thing you wanted most?
Meka: Bioorganic life forms that can look like anything, be anything, and are bonded to one person forever. Some might be cute and fluffy, others are warriors. It is your DNA that decides.
Champion meka fighters are celebrities. Rich and famous, their battles are televised for millions of cheering fans. They even have their own action figures. A new law states only those with citizenship can own meka, making it an impossible dream for the poor living at the city's edge.
Becoming a champion fighter is thirteen year old Eli's only hope of escaping the slums. However he can't raise the money to buy his own meka before the law is passed.
A grifter named Kalex offers Eli a trade: meka of his own, if he competes in an illegal fight to the death. When his meka 'Phyre' hatches, Eli realises there is no way she can win, but Kalex has no intention of letting him or Phyre escape alive. As he flees deeper into the city, Eli knows Kalex is on his tail. And it's only a matter of time before Kalex finds them...

Warren Beasts
Wrangling teenage emotions is hard enough on good days, but what if on bad days they could manifest as giant flesh and blood monsters? Pacific Rim meets Friday Night Lights as knee-jerk rebel Sage Sawyer is forced to join her high school "tourneytub" team, the Jupiter Jackalopes. Tourneytub is the muddy opera where "humors," these emotion-fueled monsters, are pacified by jockeys in "tubs," towering robots. (Basically graceful cathedrals wrapped up in sucker punches.) Sage's new teammates are all oddballs. Genesis O'Toole, "Princess Chastity Belt" herself, is a devout Christian. When Sage joins the team though, Genesis wrestles with intense feelings for her. Talia Amphigore, star Jackalope, gets badly injured and benched. She's determined to reclaim her throne, but what if she can't? Who is she without tourneytub? Artie Amphigore, the disabled "Tub Whisperer," may be a brilliant engineer, but he struggles with crippling (haha) self-doubt. When the Jackalopes need him most, will he rise above his doubt? Meanwhile, following Talia's downfall, Peter Donkersmit suddenly finds himself responsible for the manifestation of the team's monsters, birthed from his own emotions. Easier said than done, particularly once Peter begins questioning his identity. Cover Photo courtesy of Andriyko Podilnyk on Unsplash: https://unsplash.com/@yirage. Edited.
