"Even stars have their limits." He began quietly,
"Ours ... is born in the East, as it dies in the West; 
Everyday, an endless cycle, 'til we draw final breath. 
I pretend to be free, 
While the stars watching over me,
Have no choice but to trace the same path they've just left."

There's a restlessness, from familiar ochre farmlands to white sandy beaches; the echo of a war fought with anger and fear. How could I be the only chance at peace, when one, just as violent, rages on inside me?
A battle of nature and instinct.
A war of impulse and foresight. 
I'm torn between two halves; the ripple parting the sea from the sky.

Oh this torture may seem like the greatest limit of all, but its a double-edged sword;
there's power in this pain and well ... its limitless.

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.

The whole camp was filling with smoke. I coughed, praying that my lungs would keep working for just a few more minutes. "Eli, which way is west?" Adam's breathing was just as labored from physical exertion, smoke, and panic as mine was. I didn't even process the question. I didn't know. We couldn't see anything through the smoke because the fire was spreading so quickly, and I just realized I'd forgotten my walkie-talkie. "Don't know!" I answered. Adrenaline was the only thing that kept my feet going. I knew we'd come in the East Gate, and if the cells were in the center, then if we kept going straight, we were going to find the gate any second. "Keep straight!" I instructed. I saw his head bob slightly, acknowledging my delayed direction. Then Adam cried out beside me, and I stopped short. I reached for his body involuntarily as he pitched forward, nearly causing him to take me down with him. My left hand was soaking wet from where it had landed on his shoulder. I winced as I tried to steady him, not daring to look at what I knew would be a pool of blood in my hand. ☁ Now that they have a new ally on their side, they're looking to change the United States for good. At some point, they want every camp freed and every teenager home safe. But each new camp brings an endless supply of new challenges. Things are beginning to spin out of control. Follow each of them as they discover who they are, who they love, and more of their country's secrets than they could ever dream of in a thrilling trilogy told from all five points of view.

EXCERPT "Women like you shouldn't be a part of our society. Your rotten behaviours spoil the well groomed ladies to behave just like you whores! A shameless girl who got herself knocked up by an unknown person in her teen years, how disgusting, both you and your bastard son!" He sput scrunching up his face in disgust. "You're just a whore! And you're whoring with him as well!" Atuweni's hand landed across his cheek in a hot slap before she could stop herself as tears streamed down her cheeks. "You have no right! Absolutely no right to talk about me being shameless and disgusting because you're the most disgusting of us both! Dont bother talking about an unknown father because the father is very well known and he's an imbecile because you are the father of my son!" He staggered back shocked as her words sunk their meaning into his brain forcing him to be quiet. Atuweni clapped her hand over her mouth. She hadn't meant for that to come out. She hadn't meant for him to know. What had she done!?
