In a world fractured by chaos and revolution, Nora Ryan is both feared and revered as the catalyst of change. When she's finally captured and brought in for interrogation, she remains an enigma wrapped in defiance and intelligence. CIA agent Pete McWaters, known for his arrogance and unyielding pursuit of justice, finds himself face-to-face with the girl who has disrupted the world order.
Pete must navigate Nora's labyrinthine mind and the shadows of his own past, all while grappling with the profound implications of her vision for a "purple" world-a place of balance amid division. With every revelation, the stakes rise, and the true nature of Nora's rebellion becomes a question of survival and morality.

Gods Under The Dome
[Editors' Choice 2020] In a near-future, post-apocalyptic world, a lone girl must choose between becoming the next-in-line to head a corrupt government or siding with those who wish to see the world burn. Order, suppression and lies, or chaos, truth and freedom? Whatever is chosen, one thing is clear: both sides bleed. ***** Every year, the Federated United Americas tasks its elite soldiers to participate in a nation-wide Cull. Hundreds of children are taken from homes and put into one of three Facilities. While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking government jobs and militia commandos, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the FUA has to offer: The Council. Beckett Blake is known in the Facility as Ten, and she alongside six others branded 'Liars', have spent years enduring confinement and rigorous testing in order to secure a future as head of the FUA. When a terrorist group breaks into the Facility and kidnaps Ten and the others, she's forced to re-examine her future plans. Required to become a drug runner in the mega-city known as Neon Brights, Ten must decide if the future she'd been promised since childhood is worth the lies it's built upon. Will Ten choose the future that's been decided for her, or will she carve out one all her own, even if that path leads to her destruction? Cover by @eosophobiasComplete
