Saide has grown up in a sheltered settlement known as Hopewell. For the first fourteen years of her life, she loved the Ten Principles she was taught to live by, hoping in a future she didn't understand but had faith would please Chapton, the man whose Principles are so revered in Hopewell. But when she loses her most trusted companion, her world and her beliefs are shattered, and three years later, she is an insecure and troubled rebel, dreading every anniversary of her friend's death. On the night of her attempted escape, she is caught and learns that her world is not nearly as small as she once believed. Lingering guilt has informed her every thought and action up to this point, yet by forging new relationships, she learns to challenge not just the people and the ideas around her but, eventually, her inner demons and the lies they tell her.

Marked
Four unmarked survivors. One totalitarian government. A fight to keep their humanity intact. 100 years into the future, the E-91 virus has thrust the world into chaos. For Rachel Wilson, survival hasn't come easy. For the last fifteen years, she's lived in the wilderness, just out of reach of the Council of Nations. Until one day, poachers--the section of law enforcement tasked with hunting the Unmarked--raid her home and she is forced to go on the run. Weary from the attack, but certainly not broken, she ventures into a dangerous world with only her fiery determination to survive. In what appears to be a stroke of good luck, she is rescued by an underground movement working towards bringing down the capital or die trying. Death over mark, that had always been the mantra. Because the alternative-becoming a mind-controlled soldier to fight the capital's war-was a fate worse than death. ***What other readers are saying about Marked*** "You've done a wonderful job of creating and molding this couple into real people.
