Sixteen-year-old AJ has lost more than enough, everyone has. She lives on Earth's surface with the constant fear of what's to come from the city that lurks 6,214 miles above their head. AJ, unlike a lot of others, tries not to question her existence or trying to find a reason to live and spends her time making friends and trying to figure Emaria out. She's gotten pretty good at looking at the bright side mostly.
But when another one of her friends is taken by the annual allotment that takes place at each school, AJ doesn't know how to view her life anymore. How much more suffering and trauma does she have to go through to realize that she doesn't deserve this. No one did.
She had a choice. They all had a choice but were too scared of what would happen to them if they tried to free themselves, being content with surviving like animals. But she knew, either way they were going to die.
Begging for a change in any way possible, AJ and three of her friends make their way to the huge city, which was deemed impossible to do for anyone who lived on the surface. But as their journey continues, so do the lies and secrets of the enemy and especially the people she thought she could trust. And little did they know, they snuck onto a city on the verge of an impending war.

Admiring the Light
Friendless and timid, Guinevere is stuck in her socially anxious shadow, content to let her sister lead and live a sheltered life. Without Natalie pushing her to break out of her comfort zone, she'd be trapped in fear. The world is scary, even her own family conflicts terrify her; she needs Natalie's support. But what happens when Natalie, her big sister, her mentor and only real friend, suddenly can't be there for every moment of her life? Lola, raised to be a hardworking farmer, when all she wants is a bit of agency over her life, the freedom to do what she wants. And yet, she is perfectly willing to let Natalie handle conversations for her. For as much as she wants to be free, she wouldn't know what to do with herself, get meticulously caught up in planning the details and never end up doing anything. And Natalie, who has no personal desires, simply living in moments and finding the best in whatever is going on. Freely engaging with her friends and helping them, as she lacks her own internal drive, the self awareness to know what she wants. After a long childhood struggle with her self esteem and valuing herself, that has become what she "needs," her coping strategy with rough situations. Being complacent with what happens to her and simply accepting, with no real goals of her own, no idea that her friends are just as directionless as she is. When health complications arise for her, and her friend group is falling apart around her as she can't guide them, she'll have to ask the essential questions that she can't simply answer in a quick sentence. The questions that she has long dismissed as unimportant. Is this what she truly wants, to be solely fulfilled by everyone else depending on her for support? And where does she draw the line? This story touches on potentially triggering content, including the use of slurs, toxic family relationships, anxiety, anger, and death.
