Genre: Fiction > Sci-Fi/Fantasy
1. Selfsame
Men are doomed. The women must survive. But at what cost? Four hundred years after the Final War, Earth has been reduced to a few pieces of habitable continent. Men are dying off. Women are genetically altered to survive. The genetic deviants are cast away in the ghetto. On Lower Earth, the largest remaining known landmass, disparate peoples fight against each other, the land, and the illnesses the war left behind. Queen Maeva rules with the blood of the masses on her hands, but her ancestry and advanced human abilities mean only she can save them from destruction and colonization by the old men of Upper Earth. 18-year-old Aria was designed from the genetic sequence of the settler queens. Her whole life had been dedicated to taking over the throne and leading Lower Earth back to prosperity. Just as she was poised to claim her birthright, it happened. Betrayal. Now Aria must face enemies from far away shores and much closer to home as she fights the very totalitarian regime she had been set to lead. Will Aria be able to stop the reigning Queen now that she’s discarded?
2. Culling
Thousands of innocent genetic deviants. One Queen who wants them dead. Leadon long believed Lower Earth was a promised land. But now that crop killers have become commonplace and Queen Ariane systematically obliterates those she deems unworthy, Leadon learns the hard truth about life on Lower Earth. Humanity is scarce. Food is even more scarce. Ariane is driving Lower Earth to the brink of disaster. When Leadon bears witness to an extreme act of cruelty by the Queen, she is torn between loyalty to the Ganese people and the morality of Lower Earth’s original peoples. Thousands of innocent lives hang in the balance. One word and the Queen will have them destroyed. Leadon must convince her enemies that they should combine forces and work toward a common goal, or risk the promise of tomorrow for all.
3. Subversive
Blood is stronger than alliances. Truth hides behind lies. Every woman must protect herself or die for Queen and country. Daphna is desperate. To save countless lives, the leader of the Sisters must convince the Queen and Central Tower to find a cure for the Elgin disease or watch in horror as her people writhe in agony to their death. Queen Ariane’s obsession with perfecting women’s genetic code defies logic to anyone who doesn’t know the history that runs in the blood of queens. The fear of betrayal is powerful. And Ariane has tasted the shame of being left behind. First by her mother, and then by her closest aide, Gale. Gale saw what was in Ariane’s heart and abandoned her because of it. There was nowhere else for her to go but to the Sisters. And Ariane knew it. Fearful now that the Sisters in the Outer Counties will rise against her, Ariane cannot let the Sisters advance on the capital. But both Ariane and Daphna are determined to succeed. Ariane directs her Guard to control the masses, but Daphna won’t be subdued. As a former researcher in the capital, she holds a secret that could stop Queen Ariane in her tracks… At the heart of the Queen’s weakness is Gale. Will Ariane endure the taste of failure or will she allow the illness to decimate everyone and everything in Lower Earth?
