On the run from the Earth government and military forces, wanted former terrorist Maddy Hawthorn seeks a new life on Mars. When she discovers plans for another terrorist attack, her only hope to prevent a global catastrophe is to seek the help of other insurgents.
But everyone wants her dead, including the people she is trying to save.
With the help of a runaway Elite teenager and a band of renegade slaves, Maddy fights to save the very government system she despises.
Nothing lasts forever.
Although it alludes to events in the previous Maddy Hawthorn book, "Days of Iron", this is a separate story and is designed to be read and understood independently.

The Fifth Wife's Daughter
Nineteen-year-old Sloane Vale has spent her life outrunning shadows-her mother's lies, her own silence, and the incident that shattered their relationship forever. Now, after her mother's fifth marriage, Sloane is dragged into a world she never asked to enter: high society, old money, and a secret circle of power that runs the city from behind masked galas and blood-soaked contracts. She shows up on a motorcycle, all leather, scars, and fake smiles-and immediately disrupts everything. Especially him. Her new stepbrother, West Callahan-cold, perfect, untouchable. And his friends: Jude, who smiles while he breaks things. Beckett, who hides his pain in brutal art. Rhys, who runs the society like a king with a golden noose. They're all older. They're all dangerous. And they're all bound to each other by secrets Sloane isn't supposed to know-or want. But Sloane doesn't follow rules. Not when they belong to the people who tried to bury her once. Not when every kiss tastes like defiance. Not when every lie she unravels brings her closer to the truth... and the boys who would burn the world to keep her. As their obsession turns deadly and their twisted society demands loyalty above love, Sloane has to decide: Will she destroy them from the inside out-or claim them as hers first?Complete
The Commander of Death
After Mount Weather, Clarke Griffin can't bring herself to walk through the gates of Arkadia. For months, she wanders through the wilderness, tortured by the repercussions of the decisions she has made and haunted by the lives she has taken, and, in her final form of penance, she takes her own. Greeted by Death himself, he informs her of a soon to occur extinction-level event, one he calls Praimfaya, and he tells her that she is the only one who can save humanity. Long after she has taken her final breath, he returns her to life so she may serve her daunting purpose, and the aftermath of unnaturally crossing back through the veil that separates life and death manifests in powerful abilities beyond comprehension. A relationship that began as enemies, progressed to allies, and culminated in betrayal, grows into something much deeper, and, even in the face of imminent death, the love between two leaders grows stronger than ever. After vowing to remain by Clarke's side no matter the danger, with only five months to prepare for the end of the world, Lexa and Clarke search for solutions to save it together. Not even conflict pauses in the face of extinction, however, and with a terrifying creature wanting Clarke's soul, the queen of Azgeda wanting Clarke's head, and war brewing on the horizon, the task of stopping Praimfaya seems exponentially more impossible. Clarke's title of Wanheda, the Commander of Death, has never been more literal, and, with this new purpose of saving humanity, she can't help but wonder if the Commander of Death is capable of bringing anything other than that.

The cybernetics revolution knows no compromise. Luciana Gutierrez, a police officer, works ninety-six-hour shifts with a eugeroic hangover around the corner. Her investigation into those who stole her life is sidelined as a crime syndicate turns her precinct into a war-zone. Sent for backup, she's offered experimental technology that could turn the tide, if she's willing to risk mind, body, and soul. Anton Grissom's birth was a crime, and his sentence is military service. Molded into an elite soldier, his path of atonement falls away when he's caught on the losing side of a massacre. In the aftermath, he's offered a second chance at life-if he's prepared to pay. Weaver heals the broken and disposable, and in the process makes cybernetics a reality.
