The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

States have been separated by color and traits and have their own strict rules for their inhabitants to follow and live by. Four out of fifty states remain, one of those being New York. Bay Zachary is an eighteen girl who lives in New York, a state now known as the Pure State. She has always felt out of place in her state and has a desire to venture past her state's borders.

Quickly, her self-desires to leave the deteriorating state turns into a mission to save her home state from the same fate of forty-five others.

Indivisible? Liberty and Justice? The United States, only, the states were united no more, and they hadn't been for quite some time.Complete

Beneath The Last Light
In the dying city of Gravelight, hope is a dangerous thing. Walled in by fear and control, its people live under constant surveillance, tested, sorted, and discarded when deemed unfit. Beyond those walls lies only the wasteland - the Dead Zones - where monsters and myths are said to roam. No one who's taken ever returns. Seventeen-year-old Avalon Thorne has learned the rules: stay invisible, stay alive, don't ask questions. But when she and her closest friend, Fox, see smoke rising from far beyond the wall - where nothing should burn - something shifts. It's small, fleeting, but undeniable. Proof that maybe the world isn't as dead as they've been told. Soon Avalon, Fox, and their friends - the troublemaking twins Reggie and Riggs, and the quiet, brilliant Kendrick - find themselves tangled in the cracks of a system built on silence and fear. The more they uncover, the harder it becomes to look away... and the more dangerous it is to know the truth. Because in Gravelight, ignorance is survival. And rebellion begins with a single question: What really lies beyond the last light?
