In a world controlled by corrupt government officials and gangs, staying alive is a daily challenge. When their parents are killed as part of a population control scheme, twins Kalyah and Caze Tamesis know they're next, leaving them with one choice: to run.
A hundred miles from their hometown, they meet Morgan Kimber, the leader of a mercenary gang called The Black Guard. She offers them a place in her gang, but in this new life, survival comes with a price-it just might not be a price the twins are willing to pay.

Every battle the siblings face isn't just about protecting Sarsa City-it's about racing against time, desperate to sever the Shade's grip before it devours her completely.

Moonlit Legacy: Toxic Future
"Get your ass up! I'm tired of telling you!" Fifteen-year-old Manny Mari knows the drill: wake up before Mom's tech-hand yanks him out of bed, wrangle his demonic twin siblings (Keoni and Keuri) before they burn down the apartment, and survive another day in Reform City-where the air is poison, the rich breathe clean, and the only sport left is war. But today feels different. Maybe it's the way the roots under their floor pulse when Mom whispers to the old gods. Maybe it's the twins' newest stunt-brainwashing a Spire loyalist during devotionals. Or maybe it's Brooke, the girl downstairs, who leaves Manny speechless with her hazel eyes and lethal wit-even as her Spire-issued tech slowly eats her alive. When a government transport rumbles past, its enhanced soldiers staring at the untouched Amari kids like lab specimens, Manny realizes: Their time hiding is over.Complete
