Sixteen months ago it stopped raining in South Africa. Not entirely. But enough. Unlike most citizens of the now-arid country, Milka and Roy chose to stay behind in their small Eastern Cape town. But the people of the Eastern Cape don't pray for rain anymore, they Beast. Then, one day, Milka discovers a 10-year-old girl swimming in their water reservoir. She brings with her the threat of a rumbling cloud from beyond the Compassberg Mountain.
"The rain must've taken it."
"Stop saying that."
"It's taken everything!"

The Elementals
My name is Tide. I'd love to say hi and all, but if I tell you my location two very bad things could happen. First, someone who isn't really on my list of favorite people might find the information. Then, they would hunt us down and try to use our powers to take over the world and other maniacal things. Yeah, not so fun. However, I'd like it if people knew how things really happened. You may see things on the news, and they may sound bad, but trust me, this is the real story. Because I'm an Elemental. And somebody needs to set the record straight.* [Action #101] [Fantasy #2] :: cover credit goes to the lovely ATXNNA :: *heyo so this book is pretty old, some (a lot of) spelling mistakes, some (a lot of) plot holes, but if you're looking for some fast paced action and some sarcasm and some cliche romance you should honestly just go to the second book but yeah, this has got that, just with, you know, the glaring faults in the story line. Just a warning.Complete

Not the apprentice bootmaker Lou, who questions his faith, the young farmer Eri who doesn't want to settle for a life of picking clams out of the coastal waters, or the exiled Kane, a former noble demoted to Sun Caste for his inability to use Lux.

Dust
All the earth is torn asunder. There used to be grass, and the sun used to be golden. Children played outside, climbing trees with smiles on their faces and grass stains on their knees. People worried about a million things that would soon be irrelevant, continuing without a clue of the disaster to come. Centuries later, what little is left of humanity survives in a society constructed beneath the surface of a glass dome, the world outside converted to little more than a desert wasteland. Survival is a routine rather than an effort, and all rules are surpassed by only one: if you want to survive, you never leave the dome. There's nothing alive out there. The radiation that soaks the earth makes sure of that. Until one day, someone finds a bloody, dust-covered handprint on the outside of the glass. Nothing will ever be the same again.
