In the desolate remains of a war-destroyed world, only one city survives: York. Tightly controlled and isolated, the city has rules: for sixteen kids, turning eighteen means recruitment. No exceptions. Quiet and curious, Elodie Mikelson, lingering at the edges of her carefully lived life, is paralyzed when Mr. Reiki calls her name at the ceremony. Now thrust into long, grueling days of physical and mental hardship she quickly learns survival isn't just about how straight you can shoot a gun. It's about mindset. Determination. Who you can trust and who you can't. Her captain, Mac, doesn't make it any easier. Big and commanding, he seems to have taken a special interest in Elodie. Forming friends and enemies along the way, the girl from York begins to disappear. Someone stronger begins to take her place. But just as Elodie begins to adapt, she is thrown off course again. Taken by a mysterious organization that seems to know her better than she knows herself, Elodie is thrown into a game of even higher stakes. Thrust into a plot to steal the government's little black book known as SONA, she learns it is the government's master file, rumored to contain the city's deepest secrets-and its most vulnerable weaknesses. To succeed, she must escape the inescapable. A prison locked tight behind concrete, surveillance, and locks. With only a 61 second window to escape, she risks everything. With the clock ticking and untold truths, hidden secrets and deceptive lies, Elodie has to decide what's right and who she can trust before it's too late. With one shot at freedom and only 61 seconds to take it, Elodie must choose: to stay loyal to an order she's known all her life or trust the instinct that's kept her alive.

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.
