Twelve year old Sorrow Anderson was taken to the Machine four years too early. She has heard all the horror stories from her sister about the Machine, how it will take you away forever, as it did to the rest of their family, stripping you of your identity. She finds herself instead as a part of an essential but secret system. She has two choices; she can either become what she is expected to be, another drone who keeps the Machine running, or she can fight to keep her life and her identity.

What if one day your so called perfect life disappeared? Everyone thinks Everleigh Andrews has it all, the perfect job, the perfect friends, the perfect boyfriend but what if things aren't always what they seem? Everleigh Andrews doesn't know how to escape what everyone around her thinks is so perfect until one day she wakes up and finds all of it gone. Waking up in the year 1961 in a house she has never lived in, with people she doesn't know and attending a college she's never been to. Everleigh doesn't know if this is a sick joke from the universe or a blessing in disguise. When Everleigh collides into a mysterious stranger at a party her world gets even more confusing. Harry Styles is a bad boy, at least that's what everyone tells her, but what if the bad boy in 1961 is actually perfect for her and her "perfect" boyfriend in the year 2022 was anything but perfect? Harry Styles doesn't have time for meaningless things like college, fake people and certainly not a relationship, but when he crashes into Everleigh Williams he has no idea that the universe has different plans for him and for the girl he can't escape. All he's been determined to do is to get kicked out of college in hopes that his parents will move back home to England. He's had his fun and his share of American girls, but now he's ready to head back across the pond. That is, until he meets Everleigh. Can a love that is found in 1961 stand the test of time? Can it find its way into the year 2022 when nothing is the same? **this book is purely fictional and any similarities to the actual Harry Styles is purely coincidental.

The government every year tasks its elite soldiers to participate in a nation-wide Cull. Hundreds of children are taken from homes and put into one of four Facilities. While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking militia commandos and government jobs, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the government has to offer: The Law. To ensure that they would be able to keep ruling the world, The Law started implanting chips into all its citizens. These chips called DEC, as Contained electrical current, it's an electronic chip that looks like a silver dot, these chips allowing The Law and any actual law enforcement to be able to track everyone. And it would help to keep everyone in line and stomp out any pesky notions before they manifested into something bigger, something dangerous. Shirley is known in the Facility as Ten, alongside six others, they have spent years enduring confinement and rigorous testing in order to secure a future as head of the Law. When a group calls themselves the codas breaks into the Facility and kidnaps Ten and the others, she's forced to re-examine her future plans. In the year 2050, 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 a better place. Order and lies, or truth and freedom? Whatever she chooses, one thing is clear: both sides bleed. Shirley should decide if the future she'd been promised since childhood is worth the lies it's built upon. Will Shirley choose the future that's been decided for her, or will she make out one all her own, even if that path leads to her destruction?
