Years after Earth's desolation, humanity finds itself on Acrora -- a planet that might just be their new home. The Terraformation is well underway, and in five years, they will be able to start living above the ground again.
Enter Rory, an assistant to the mind who brought their race to Acrora -- Doctor Arion Ross. After spending most of his existence living and working with the doctor, he's ready to have just a bit of fun on his own. That is until his games lead to the discovery of a series of deaths happening around the new human colony.
His new mission: help Doctor Ross bring everyone out of their bunker and to a more sustainable environment.
The problem: he doesn't believe in his new mission.
The bigger problem: his friends are slowly learning about his job, and they can't help but get involved. It wouldn't be such a big deal if thousands of lives weren't at stake, but Rory finds himself ready to sacrifice them all to save just one.

The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.
