The year is 2078, and civilisation is non-existent. Except for us.
We survived.
Esme is a survivor of The Attacks that wreaked havoc and destruction on Earth in 2013. Her life has been a routine since she was born in the underground cave networks she calls home, and she likes it that way.
However, her ordinary lifestyle is stripped from her when a bruised and broken boy from The Above is dumped on a bed in the infirmary… A boy claiming to be born in 1995 nonetheless?
It all seems like too much for an 18 year old trainee nurse to deal with.

Kadota (Love Trilogy)
In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories. My scientist father hailed my uniqueness as a miracle, but my life was far from ordinary. To the village, I was just an oddity, a walking puzzle with missing pieces. My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out. It was my turn to face the unknown with a hidden purpose - to locate my lost father who was sent there years ago.Complete
