Zone X
In a future ruled by lies, love might be the only truth.
In the fractured world of Cantwell, society is controlled by artificial intelligence and the enigmatic Founders. Every citizen is born with a twin, tested at fifteen, and separated by fate. Soren Elix has always been different-and the test proved it. Marked with a black X, she's sent to the infamous Sector X, where survival is uncertain and secrets run deep.
There, she meets Elian-her tough, enigmatic trainer who pushes her to her limits, yet guards her like she's the last real thing in a crumbling world. As they uncover the truth behind their society's lies, they stumble into Aestation, a city beyond the Zone promising safety, freedom... and yet hiding dark ambitions.
When Soren and Elian are torn apart, she must brave the deadly terrain of Zone X again, battling acid storms, nightmarish creatures, and the threat of betrayal. Determined to save him, she defies everything she's been taught, forging her own path.
But surviving Zone X was never the true test.
