Catalyst

What if they controlled the water? Dehydration. Death. Dust.

"It was all I'd ever known."

Alloy Houghton has never known anything else. Years before her time war, sickness, and greed tangled everything into a one-way course for destruction, yet life found a way. Under the maniacal rule of a dictator restricting water to anyone on the outside: she has two options, be who they want her to be or fight the system.

In a strange set of events, Alloy is thrown into a world she never knew existed, a so-called rebel organization and a dangerous power threatening everything she ever knew about her existence. She's battling love and lies all while fighting for her life in an arena called The Bane, built for human battle and bloodshed.

"I looked at the sky again and knew that my luck had finally run out. Some were saved and some weren't, that was just how the world worked. Had I ever truly lived in the first place? Had I ever been worthy?"

Omen. Bad Luck. Harbinger. Scavenger.
