Celeste Navarie is the sixteen-year-old daughter of the Citizen Principia, which means she lives a life of privilege in a dystopian world that allows no personal freedom. Celeste dreams of adventure and smuggles herself beyond the walls regularly, to purchase books and documents from the outside world. During her journeys, she uncovers a conspiracy: members of the palace staff are part of the rebellion, and she finds evidence her father is a murderous tyrant. Not sure who to trust, Celeste is kidnapped and has no way to escape. The future of Verium rests on Celeste's shoulders, and if she makes a mistake it will doom not just her, but everyone.

Celeste was born into a world of misery, a beggar on the streets, fighting starvation and poverty until her untimely death at the age of 30. But when she awakens in the body of a four-year-old girl, the daughter of a powerful Count and Countess, she quickly realizes that she has been given a second chance. Gone are the days of scrounging through dumpsters for food; now, she is surrounded by luxury, wealth, and privilege. But Celeste knows better than to be blinded by the beauty of her new life. In this new world, the rules are different but just as dangerous. Though she is now a noble, she understands that her place in this society is fragile, bound by rigid social hierarchies and unspoken power struggles. Determined to never suffer the way she did before, Celeste vows to play the long game, quietly learning the intricacies of noble life while plotting her path to independence. With a distant father, a cold mother, and siblings who seem just as trapped in the family's expectations, Celeste must navigate the complex dynamics of her household while concealing the truth about who she really is. She faces an internal battle between accepting her fate as a young noble girl and using the memories of her previous life to forge a future that is truly her own. Armed with the wisdom of her past and the opportunities of her present, Celeste embarks on a journey of survival and self-discovery. But in a world where appearances mean everything, how long can she maintain the charade before her secrets unravel? And when they do, will she have the strength to rise from the ashes once again?

[Editors' Choice 2020] In a near-future, post-apocalyptic world, a lone girl must choose between becoming the next-in-line to head a corrupt government or siding with those who wish to see the world burn. Order, suppression and lies, or chaos, truth and freedom? Whatever is chosen, one thing is clear: both sides bleed. ***** Every year, the Federated United Americas tasks its elite soldiers to participate in a nation-wide Cull. Hundreds of children are taken from homes and put into one of three Facilities. While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking government jobs and militia commandos, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the FUA has to offer: The Council. Beckett Blake is known in the Facility as Ten, and she alongside six others branded 'Liars', have spent years enduring confinement and rigorous testing in order to secure a future as head of the FUA. When a terrorist group breaks into the Facility and kidnaps Ten and the others, she's forced to re-examine her future plans. Required to become a drug runner in the mega-city known as Neon Brights, Ten must decide if the future she'd been promised since childhood is worth the lies it's built upon. Will Ten choose the future that's been decided for her, or will she carve out one all her own, even if that path leads to her destruction? Cover by @eosophobias
