In the face of climate collapse, life has been trudging on as usual. The rich have gotten richer, countries have fortified their borders, and elections have remained a game of deception. 

London, a passionate journalist, has clung to the belief that the system can be changed from within. Focused on the promise of a better future, she has been clawing her way to the top. Her hidden parasocial relationship with a politician only adds more teeth to her bite.

Emir, used to dealing with the bloody gears of politics, has clung to the belief that change comes unbidden. Loved by one, hated by another; his rise to power has been unconventional, and it has only just begun.

Driven by their desire to fix the world around them, they finally cross paths. That fateful day changes their lives, and may even change the fate of the nation.

Terraria: Another Day Under the Glass by WBarney

'Death never stops surprising you.' A sentiment Aria knows all too well. Her world on its surface is perfect. A completely enclosed ecosystem protected from the nuclear winter of the Outside World. No sickness, no famine, nothing to worry about. Nothing that is except for Spectre, the computer system that determines who lives and dies annually based on their importance to society. Somehow everyone around her seems to cope, but seeing as how Spectre has taken every member of her family, Aria struggles to fall in line with the status quo. Whether it's pressure from the powers that be, her first potential love, or full on revolution, Aria seems to be pulled in every direction, each one with drastic consequences, and no clue which way to go.

Deception. Betrayal. Mistrust. It seems the closer Rayne gets to the truth, the more she finds herself wanting to run away from it. It's complex and terrifying-more than she ever fathomed. New family members, good and bad, pop out at her like a branded omen. But thankfully, with Rueben and the others by her side, guiding her, she feels now, more than ever, that the truth will set them free. The battle to bring her brother home grows eerily close. Tensions begin to rise; break ups and forced splits take a toll on everyone as the heat of reality begins to catch up with growth of their situation. ☽ ☾ Mason struggles to continue his journey. Between romance and business, he feels as if his body is being pulled in every direction, leaving him blinded. Driven by emotion instead of logic, he begins to realize that the bigger picture doesn't mean he gets his happy ending. Dangerous meetings, callous events, and the prolonged deaths of those they care about hang over their heads like a dark cloud, two seconds from striking them with lightning. Everyone wants to win, but only one side will. ⤷ ᴍᴜʟᴛɪᴘʟᴇ ᴍᴄꜱ ᴛʜɪʀᴅ ɪɴꜱᴛᴀʟʟᴍᴇɴᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴛɪʀᴇʟʏ ʏᴏᴜʀꜱ ꜱᴇʀɪᴇꜱ ⤷ ✩ ᴡᴏʀᴅꜱ © COPYRIGHT MARELIZXX

Recompense by MichelleIsenhoff

In a nation built upon lies, the truth is a dangerous secret. Born into Capernica's lowest social tier and not permitted to leave Settlement 56, Jaclyn (Jack) Holloway refuses to pour out her years in the local fish cannery. She gambles on the one chance available to her to advance--the high school Exit Exam. In a country that still keenly remembers its own violent birth, the smartest and strongest are richly rewarded in exchange for military service. Jack is adamant that her best friend, Will Ransom, strives for induction with her, but Will is tied to the sea. Would he give it up for her? He's never so much as kissed her. Meanwhile, a string of abductions breaks out across the nation, targeting girls eerily similar to Jack. Her Exam score places her in a position to aid Axis, the underground organization investigating the disappearances. Working in tandem with the handsome Captain Ethan Alston, Jack finds she has an unusual proclivity for the case. The evidence leads them back forty-seven years, to a series of high-profile cover-ups linked to the creation of the new nation, but nothing prepares them for the faces that emerge from the past. Jack and Ethan must make a crucial decision. Blowing the whistle could have grave consequences for loved ones they've left behind, but holding their silence means history will likely repeat. And Capernica could never survive a second upheaval. A startling tale where past and present intertwine, fusing at the point of revolution. Have time to binge read? You've found your next dystopian indulgence.
