Astrid Montgomery was not a child born from love. Spending her entire life on the Ark, locked away, in one form or another, she grew anxious awaiting her death. But when her, and 99 other criminals from the Ark are sent to Earth, her concept of life is warped.
Especially when she learns of a twisted prophecy hanging over her head.
While she navigates arising issues, she slowly learns more about herself, the prophecy, and the culture embracing those on the ground. Especially with Roan, the Prince of the Ice Nation and her egocentric mentor, at her side. Friendship, betrayal, grief, all slowly reforming Astrid from the bitter 17 year old on the Ark to a survivor on the ground.
Slowly but surely, she realizes life itself is not at all what she pictured.
UPDATE: On pause, working on the new chapters now! Hope to post new chapters by the end of August 2024 :)
Having been ripped out of her mother's arms right after being born a minute later than her twin, Wren Jordan was sent to the Sky Box on the Ark. Considered a criminal for the simple act of being born, lonely walls and cell guards are all she has and all she's ever known for the past seventeen years.
When forced out of her cell one day and placed on a ship, a confused but excited Wren learns that she is part of The 100, a group of underage criminals, that are to be sent back to Earth, where no one has been to in decades. Filled with mixed emotions, Wren finds that she has no idea on what to expect on the ground. A sure death, most likely.
What she most certainly didn't expect was to find that her twin was to be sent down with her and the rest of The 100. Determined to keep herself and her recently met twin alive on the ground, Wren is willing to do whatever it takes to keep them safe.
But when some of the delinquent group decide to cause trouble, she finds that she got more than she bargained for when she tries to stop them. Confused, with new and mixed feelings found, Wren Jordan will find that it takes more to survive than she thought and that some people make it worth your while to go to Hell and Back.
