A girl with no memory of her former life. A boy who might have all the answers, and people who will stop at nothing to get them both back. 16-year-old Ryder, a certified street rat, and skilled thief has always been able to dream parts of others pasts. Nothing intrigues him more than the past of a strange green-eyed girl, running from something terrifying.
To 16-year-old Lana, Ryder was just another obstacle in her way. A blip in her path to finding out how she ended up wandering the streets with no memories. But somehow, she's connected to him. Somehow, Ryder knows details about her past that Lana was meant to forget. Lana knows one thing, and one thing only, the people she escaped from don't intend on leaving her alone. The scars up and down her arms tell her that much. Searching for stolen memories, Lana and Ryder discover that sometimes, it's better to forget than to remember.

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.
