"You can't stop domino effects. Everything will always occur in an unstoppable chain, both evolutionary and fatal, as well. And throughout this beautifully organised chaos, you never know when you might be next. "
Biomedical advance allows scientists to decode citizens' DNA sequence at birth. The genome information is accessible to big corporations and as a result citizens are divided in genetic teams.
Coral and her older sister, Eleanor, are both Coppers, dealing with a low life standard. Meanwhile, Purgation is more widely spoken among people and looks like a new hope for the end of the discriminations.
What Coral though does know, is that every promise of the government, matches with another lie.
But what she doesn't, is the fact that everything in this life is heavily paid with extremely high costs.

Kadota (Love Trilogy)
In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories. My scientist father hailed my uniqueness as a miracle, but my life was far from ordinary. To the village, I was just an oddity, a walking puzzle with missing pieces. My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out. It was my turn to face the unknown with a hidden purpose - to locate my lost father who was sent there years ago.Complete
