Dystopian Society

Life is a journey that leaves scars on our hearts until we take our last breath. This saying rings true for both Kat and Fred as they attempt to pick up the pieces of their lives after Juanita's murder by the Sinville Police Department. Unfortunately for them and the rest of the town, capitalism waits for no one, especially when the greedy and power-hungry Mayor James seeks to put his multibillion-dollar jail plan in motion. What makes him dangerous is not only his political power, but also his ties to Kareem and Pastor Thomas, who are also willing to build more jails throughout town.

She had a family to consider, and she had done he right thing. I did it, she told herself, for the good of society. Then she called out to her husband: "Honey, come in here and take a look at this." The man put on his best bright face and strolled into the kitchen. He put his hand on his wife's shoulder and gave her a whisper of a kiss on top of her head. He had always loved the smell of her hair, but now – now, it smelled more like disinfectant and alcohol than the tropical scent he loved. 

H Number One has forgotten his actual name. Everyone has. Their names have been taken from them and they must be thankful they are still alive. With Earth on the verge of becoming an uninhabitable planet due to human activity, an almighty alien race, commanded by their leader Rosanna, has taken over humankind in a matter of days. Some humans have chosen to reject Felicity, their mythological leader, and to side with the aliens and their promise of a new society. Others have decided to resist and fight for their troubled freedom. Most are dead.

In the Fortress, an underground society unmarred by the government's clutches, there is a rule that looms over everyone's heads like a dark cloud: You join...or you die. There is no in-between. When Rosabella Porter and Aire Gil discover the underground society where love is abundant--and in many varying forms--the two women make the most logical decision to stay alive. They join.

Claren didn't ask to join her society's leadership. She was forced into it. And under the watchful eyes of her superiors, she's left with no choice but to carry out a mission that will destroy everything she believes in, including the man who has her heart. The government wants her to kill the rebels. The rebels want her to play the part and infiltrate the city's leadership.

Most believe the war is over. But for Claren, the biggest battle is still yet to come.

The country is at war, but they've targeted the wrong enemy. Claren tried to do what was right. She followed orders, played her part, and minded her own business. And now the world is literally burning down around her. The Leaders think she's dead. They don't know about the army of Embers she's been assembling across the country. They don't know about the power building within her or the secrets she keeps. Claren didn't start the war, but she has every intention of finishing it.
