After a nuclear war destroys most of the world, Australia is left in ruins. Struggling to survive completely on its own, a new leader rises and creates a system that will prevent another large-scale disaster from happening again: the Examination. This new system allows for those who aren't deemed worthy to be exiled, so only the best and brightest can live in the new Australia. Each year, those who turn twenty are sent to their Examination, where they will be given a series of tests on varying subjects, and if you fail, you're sent off. Aria Maurer, a young girl starting her tests, is just starting to realize how complex the world really is when something interrupts the Examination for the first time in two-hundred years. Can she fix this broken world or will she be deemed unworthy of living before she has the chance to change anything?

The Knife Thrower
Poverty has plagued Australia for the last 200 years, turning the once prosperous land of opportunity into a hostile desert of severe oppression. When new laws are made to further suppress any uprising, the population are divided, fighting each other for what they believe is right. Can Kyra Avedel save her little brother and sister from a future as slaves, or are they all doomed? Kyra Avedel, a brave, head-strong girl who lives to provide for her family, is determined to finish school, on her terms. In her final year, when it seems that her wish of graduating will finally be granted, the law is made that Relang Citizenship will come at a cost. A cost too high for the poor. Together with Blake Anderson, a mysterious boy new to town who sees right through her tough-girl façade, and family who she's not sure she can trust, Kyra will unlock the secrets of her past to save everyone she holds dear. Haunted by fractions of memory and light: a teddy bear, a hospital room and a blue-eyed boy, she has to decide to trust what is real, to be cautious about appearances and to always watch her back. The future of everyone she loves lies on the shoulders of the girl with the messed up past and the ability to throw knives. Book 1 of The Knife Thrower.

The Versions That Shouldn't Exist
They survived the tests. They escaped the levels. But the system never let go-it evolved. After barely making it out alive, Alyssa, Ezra, and Oliver crash into Level Four-an unstable, corrupted realm made of shattered simulations and discarded clones. Here, every room holds a memory that shouldn't exist, and every shadow could be another version of them... more broken, more dangerous, and more desperate to survive. When Alyssa comes face-to-face with a twisted version of herself-one who knows things she hasn't even begun to understand-she's forced to ask the question she's never dared to face: What if I'm not the original? As loyalties crack and reality begins to fold, they'll have to fight more than the system. They'll have to fight themselves. Because the most dangerous enemy isn't what's outside the door. It's what you see when you open it... and it looks just like you.Complete![πΈππ ππ π π»ππ [βπ ππ‘πππ₯ππ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/259479678-256-k366673.jpg)

Terraria: Another Day Under the Glass
'Death never stops surprising you.' A sentiment Aria knows all too well. Her world on its surface is perfect. A completely enclosed ecosystem protected from the nuclear winter of the Outside World. No sickness, no famine, nothing to worry about. Nothing that is except for Spectre, the computer system that determines who lives and dies annually based on their importance to society. Somehow everyone around her seems to cope, but seeing as how Spectre has taken every member of her family, Aria struggles to fall in line with the status quo. Whether it's pressure from the powers that be, her first potential love, or full on revolution, Aria seems to be pulled in every direction, each one with drastic consequences, and no clue which way to go.Complete
