Teen Dystopian Fiction

In the ruins of San Francisco California, survivors of an epidemic that swept the nation have pooled inside the cities, restructuring life as we know it, pitting the rich Golden against the poor Dreg. Kade Shaw and his best friend, Marcus, are two very rich, very bored Golden teenage boys looking to break away from their predetermined lives, if only for a little while. Building a skate park seems the perfect way to have a place of their own, somewhere they can have fun and break some rules.

In this post-apocalyptic world, snow, ice, and death prevail. The remnants of humanity have survived by relearning ancient ways. Some villages cooperate with each other, but there are tribes which have turned to murder and theft to ensure their own success. Three orphaned friends wander alone through this precarious world. Teek, Lance, and Kateesh have all suffered traumatic losses which shattered their faith in their fellow human beings. They are sure that they can count on each other, but that certitude is shaken when violence rages into their lives once again.

This plan—this crazy, stupid, impossible plan—could work. At the very least, it will serve to get the boys back into the folds of the Elite, so they don’t come to any harm for helping me. And it’ll get me back inside so I can try to save my father—but then what? How will I get him out? We have no guarantees this will even work…

A century in the future, the human population on Earth is dwindling. The Trushons have taken over what is left of Earth after an epic battle. The human resistance tries to fight for equality when there is none. Rai is a headstrong teenager trying to become a Guard, the elite security force that protects one of the new founding families of Earth. Humans rarely make it to the Guard, but Rai knows she is qualified. She is paired to train with Marsen, who will one day be a ruler of the Raynol royal family.
