After an apocalyptic event that thrusts the world into a new ice age, Calestia - a 17-year-old girl with a strong will - must learn to survive on a land infested with gangs, guns, and distrust. ***** Nobody knows what day it is anymore.

Earth, After ✔️
Some fates are worse than death--survival is one of them. In the two hundred years since humanity left the Earth's surface to live in the sky, life on the ground faded to a myth, a tragic memory from which they severed themselves to survive. They floated above continents turned to sand and lands swallowed by the seas, watched storm after storm rage against their cities and their monuments until they broke apart the last vestiges of civilization in penance for generations of human greed. As a lightning harvester charged with flying her ship into these storms for energy, Raina has seen more of the planet than most. She has spent her entire life soaring above its craters and scars, studying the gaping wounds of human devastation, as she honed her skills and became the youngest captain in storm-chaser history. Her ship has flown for generations. Her skills are unparalleled. But none of that matters the day they go down. ~ Praise for Earth, After: "I'm so not ready for this ending.

Trinket and Whisper
There's a reason they call Qardis the City of Whispering Walls. Dreams are a myth... An impossibility... A disease detested across the lands of Thelessia... But when the claims of dreams surge across Qardis, defying popular beliefs, silent unrest has terrorized over Qardis. Dreamers are arrested, torn apart from families, wrested away from their homes to an unknown fate, never to return again, spreading fear across the populace over a phenomenon that is not even in their control. How long until the Monocle can answer the people, and how long until the plague of dreams takes over the entire land and the Monocle is left with no one to rule? No one knows why. No one knows how. No one wants to know. But beneath the shadows and marble-floored austerity, conspiracies brew, plots are written, resistance is growing, questions are burning, and the safest and most protected empire of Thelessia is once again on the verge of its own collapse, and this time, the whole world outside its walls is watching. --- For fans of Arcane: League of Legends, Game of Thrones and Avatar the Last Airbender!
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.
