Every year, ninety citizens are chosen for the Ascension Trials-deadly tests promised to create a "better humanity." The winners ascend.
The losers vanish.
When ex-medic Rhea Ward is selected by accident, she discovers the truth: the Trials aren't a competition... they're a harvest.
Now she must survive a rigged system, expose the lies behind paradise, and decide how far she'll go to burn the whole project down.

I Loved You Blindly [Complete]
'Accidents happen'. That's what people say. Yet, some accidents take away from us more than others. Ethan had it all. Everything was lined up in front of him. Popularity, looks, friends, a hot girlfriend and a promised future in football. In one incident that resulted in a horrible accident, he lost it all. The best friend, the girlfriend, the planned future and his sight. Fighting through darkness and depression, he built high walls that kept everyone out. Skye suffered loss too, but she kept strong for the sake of her little brother, Matt. With her aunt and brother, leaving home and moving to a new place seemed like the perfect solution. A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan. For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable. Skye saw through the walls that Ethan has built around himself. Drawn to him, slowly, their friendship started to turn into something else.

Eagles and Snakes
In a society engineered to perfection, children are not born from mothers but in test tubes. They grow up in loveless nurseries, competing relentlessly to rise and catch the eye of the nine families who uphold the world's order. Each Father selects its future disciples, and depending on the lineage assigned, bodies are genetically modified to embody their spirit animal, amplifying their abilities until they become flawless cogs in the social machine. But when a structure is built on segregation and fear, balance is destined to collapse. From one of these cold nurseries, an unexpected rebellion emerges-a movement that uncovers an unsettling truth: no species deserves to rule over the others. Ambition, like a virus, infects every animal. And sooner or later, the virus must be eradicated.

Do With This What You Will.
Make your absence felt. For years Enyoans were told to make your presence known otherwise you'll perish without being remembered, but what's the use in being remembered if everyone will perish anyway? It has been eight years since Mirage's rule over Enyoa started, and it is in her best interest to do her yearly competition a little differently as the eighth anniversary should be celebrated in such a way that no one will forget. Eight contestants are thrown out into the world with only eight hundred dollars and a will to stay alive as they're being hunted by highly trained individuals that know anything and everything. While surviving both the deadly disease going around and the high stakes, what motivates one more? The prize money, or the fact that their life is on the line? Do with it what you will, but while strategies were made and plans have been set, there's no guarantee that Mirage won't play fair. After all, what can anyone do? Enyoans are just ants waiting to be crushed by the higher beings.Complete
One Life
Fire and Ice. Night and Day. One Life: the competition that unites them. . . . After a catastrophic event that caused the sun and the moon to remain stagnant on each side of the world, the human race was nearly eradicated, with nations wartorn and millions lost to wars and natural disasters. The Anchoring, as it's called, had very few survivors. However, those who did rose up to the challenge. The Republic of Atla, once known as North America, managed to survive the Anchoring, with new generations being born with side effects from the disaster and further establishing its power. Upon defeating the other nations for domination, its two coasts were separated into sectors: the powerful Onasa on one side, ruled by the sun, and the weakened Vale on the other, ruled by the moon. In the centre of Atla lies a land where light meets dark; a paradise for the affluent and powerful. Stories of the paradise are a beacon of hope for the less fortunate sector citizens. Everyone hopes they will get a chance to move there, but there is only one way: by competing in the One Life Competition-a yearly contest created by Atla's elites to grant two lucky sector teens the opportunity to find paradise-and winning. Valerie Arderis of the Onasa intends to do just that. So does Kane Hinata of the Vale. . . .Complete
