"We fought an uphill battle. One we had no hope of winning."
~~~
Felicity-Flick as most call her-Carter, has learned a thing or two in her 12 years of life. How to deal with drunk parents without waking the neighbors, how to smoke a cigarette without burning your fingers, and how to be abandoned by your siblings without losing your mind. All skills acquired through heartbreak and survival. Cigarette smoke filled lungs, late night talks on rooftops, make up most of who Flick is. But when her fractured family begins to mend itself, Flick is faced with a new chapter in her life that involves the very people she never wanted to see again.

The Cycle: Children of the Vanished
First, the adults vanish. No warning. No answers. One moment they were there, and the next the world was left to the children. Ava Carter is sixteen, clinging to her little brother Eli and the promise she made to keep him safe. But survival is more than food and shelter. Strange symbols scar the streets. Shadows move where nothing should be. Her dreams bleed into waking life, filled with a mysterious man who speaks in riddles and visions that feel like warnings. And always the same truth, whispered in the dark: when you turn eighteen, something comes. Ava doesn't believe in destiny. But as her brother drifts closer to danger, and the cycle begins to tighten its grip, she must face a terrifying question-what if the answers she's searching for are worse than the silence?
