Skye Rosevine had known what fear felt like. She had known it when she was 8 and the Gifted, a magical cult, had burned down the cities and towns around her. When they burned down her home, along with her parents inside. So she wasn't surprised when the Gifted froze half the world with ice, and she wasn't surprised to learn that their magical fires on the other side of the world ravaged entire kingdoms and did not stop burning for years. That was 8 years ago. What little land remained was dubbed the Untouched territory. In the seventh kingdom, Sicarus, Skye is rapidly approaching the age of adulthood. On her 17th birthday, she must take a test that will decide her future occupation, home, and husband. But troubles are on the horizon when rebels threaten to destroy her new world. And Skye starts to hears whispers, whispers of the rebels kidnapping anyone with a trace of magic before their 17th birthday. And though she's never told anyone her secret, Skye might have the most powerful magic her world has ever seen.

*wattys 2018 shortlist* *writer's awards sci-fi winner* It all started with an accident. Through vast consolidation begets a single empire bordering on the mere idea of war with an enemy threatening to destroy its entire existence, starting from the inside. Many call it tyranny, others, vengeful menace, but it's taking them down. One by one. A series of events follow, including a spy, a plan destined to fail and a desperate offer that puts everything on the line. She wasn't what they were hoping for. But they take what they can get. Once rejected by the place they called home, five estranged teens jump at the opportunity for an escape. Thrust into an unknown underwater society at random, it's a gamble for life and death, win or lose. Fast forward to friendship, rivalry, loyalty, borderline sorcery, and a second home that'll change their lives as they know it. But as the days grow by, and the game of cat and mouse breaks its final straw, blending in a world not meant for them is not as easy as it seems. Especially when you try to save a colony whilst saving yourself. *this story is/will be rewriting.
