Birds fly over the streets of Saxet.
A sense of despair looms in the air as the Resistance prepares for the annual tests.
Seven deadly tests.
Designed to kill and leave behind the Survivors, the ones who must be eliminated. With blood on their hands and a grave history with Saxet, Resistance leader Veronica Blanchard, will stop at nothing to find every last one.
16-year-old Mavis Sterling, naïve and unsure of her place in society, is selected to take part in the tests. With her life on the line, Mavis discovers she will do anything to survive.
After the tests, Mavis flees to the abandoned city that surrounds Saxet. Battling between the loss of her family and the uncontrollable pull to the dark and mysterious R, Mavis' life will never be the same.
As she navigates her new life and what dangers are around every corner, she discovers her hands were not made for playing piano, they were made for throwing knives.

Recently escaped from the people that created her, Six is on the run, out in the world for the first time in her short life. Stalked by a team of the best trackers on the planet, she knows her odds of escape are slim at best. Yet these men are not her most pressing concern.

Where your only option is bow the knee, or die.Complete
The Fractured City
The city never sleeps. Its veins are steel, its breath recycled, its heartbeat a hum beneath the polished floors. Every corridor, every vent, every flickering screen is watched. Every citizen is measured. Every choice recorded. Lyra Vale knows this. She has always known. And yet, nothing prepared her for the day the city shifted beneath her feet. The day the Test began. The day she learned that her life-and the life of everyone she loves-was not hers to hold, but theirs to calculate. She wakes before the chime, before the turbines thrumming through the sectors. Her sleep is fractured, haunted by light and sound, by voices she shouldn't hear and images she shouldn't see. But even in her dreams, she knows the truth: in this city, potential defines worth, and defiance defines death. Outside, the city hums. Surveillance drones drift silently, lights glinting on steel surfaces. Screens flicker with promises, threats, propaganda: Obedience ensures safety. Defiance ensures extinction. Lyra's heart beats faster. She knows the system, its calculations, its rules-and she knows its one flaw: humans. Humans do not always follow patterns. Humans do not always obey. She does not yet know that she is about to become the anomaly the city cannot process, the variable the Architect cannot contain. That the Test is only the beginning. That the system is watching, and it has begun to speak. And when it does, Lyra will learn that survival is more than following rules-it is learning to fight a machine designed to predict every thought, every fear, every heartbeat. Because in Sector Nine, everything is measured. Except the human heart.

How will she face the lives she once treated as nothing more than game data? And when the game is no longer a game, what becomes of her? Welcome to the Savage Age.
