Protectors (#1)
For many, surviving national service is the prize, but for Spike, it’s only the beginning. He needs more freedom than is given to the average citizen in Edin. He needs the freedom afforded to a protector. Without it, he can’t be with Matilda. And what is a life, no matter how safe, without love?
Spike Johnson has enjoyed the freedom and safety of a youth living in Edin. The diseased hordes outside the city’s walls might as well be on the other side of the planet. He spends as much time as he can with his best friend, and the girl he loves, Matilda. But that’s all about to change. Tomorrow, Spike turns eighteen. In two days’ time, he has to go on national service and fight in the war against the diseased for six months. Only half of those who go on national service come back alive.
Matilda is due to go on national service at the same time. Faced with the prospect of losing her life and her love, she also has to leave behind a little brother who needs her.
For the average citizen, national service marks the end of freedom. For the survivors, their life becomes one confined to their home district. They work in their district, live in their district, and fall in love with someone from their district. Falling for someone from another district is the pursuit of protectors, politicians, and fools.
Spike isn’t a fool and has no desire of becoming a politician. His only route to a future with Matilda, who is from another district, is to win the next protectors’ apprenticeship. Protectors are heroes in Edin, celebrated for their strength. They spend their days outside the walls fighting the diseased and return home with necessary supplies. They can live where they want to, go where they want to, and love who they want to. Competition to become one is fierce. With just one cadet from every national service cycle being picked for the program, Spike is going to have to be better than all of those around him to stand a chance. Without it, he can’t be with Matilda. Without Matilda, he has nothing. And with Matilda needing to get back to her brother as soon as she can, she can’t increase their chances of success by fighting for the apprenticeship too.
The battle for Spike’s and Matilda’s future happiness rests squarely on his shoulders. But before he can even think about being a protector, both of them have to survive national service.
Retribution (#3)
Man plans, God laughs.
Spike doesn’t know how, but he still has a shot at being the next protectors’ apprentice. Which means he still has a chance of spending the rest of his life with the girl he loves. But everything must go according to plan.
Spike must win the trials. He has to avoid Ranger, who he’ll be sharing a room with for the next five months. And finally, he has to put his faith in a system rife with corruption. What he’s yet to find out is his plan doesn’t even scratch the surface of what’s to come, and his greatest challenges will be from the people he least expects …
