The Enemy Beside Me + The Liar Beside Me (Book 1 and 2)

In a not-so-distant future, the world has been divided. The prospering countries label themselves as Zones, while the defeated are left behind to fend for themselves.

Sixteen-year-old Jaxon "Jax" Evans belongs to Zone 3, previously known as the United Kingdom. And like the unaffected survivors, he is arrogant and lavishes his privileges. This soon might change when his mother sends him to Zone 1, formerly known as Japan. Unlike the other Zones, Zone 1 takes humility and discipline rather seriously.

Still thinking he has no reasons to change, Jaxon does what he does best: being a brat. Fate laughs at him as a mysterious and quiet child named Eien tells him he is a dangerous person. And the kid might be right. Luckily for him, he finds a group that can teach him how to control his raw power. Or is he indeed lucky when anyone could be his enemy?
