Huck Jones, the son of the
admiral of the Soaker fleet, has a legacy to live up to. Haunted by the
distorted memories of his mother's untimely death, he must face his demons and
the man who raised him as he strives to take the courageous step forward into
manhood. When he's transferred to the worst-performing ship in the fleet,
everything he believes is called into question when he meets a lowly
brown-skinned bilge rat girl. Huck walks a deadly rope...
Meanwhile, Sadie, destined to be a Rider in the Stormer army, seeks to avenge
her brother's death at the hands of the Soakers. Trained hard by her mother, an
experienced Rider, Sadie knows strength and determination more than most. Her
father, a Man of Wisdom, has shown his cowardice more times than she can count.
As her world and family fall apart, she must cast aside her anger and focus on
the wisdom she's always brushed off as foolishness.
Amidst everything, a Plague ravages all, discriminating against no one.
When four worlds collide, lines will be drawn, sides will be chosen, victory
will be sought. Death will be wrought. The mysteries of the Cure for the deadly
Plague will be uncovered. Who will survive? And what will those who do learn
about themselves and the ones they love?

FIRE COUNTRY (THE COUNTRY SAGA #1)
In a changed world where
the sky bleeds red, winter is hotter than hell and full of sandstorms, and
summer's even hotter with raging fires that roam the desert-like country, the
Heaters manage to survive, barely.
Due to toxic air, life expectancies are so low the only way the tribe can
survive is by forcing women to procreate when they turn sixteen and every three
years thereafter. It is their duty as Bearers.
Fifteen-year-old Siena is a Youngling, soon to be a Bearer, when she starts
hearing rumors of another tribe of all women, called the Wild Ones. They are
known to kidnap Youngling girls before the Call, the ceremony in which Bearers
are given a husband with whom to bear children with.
As the desert sands run out on her life's hourglass, Siena must uncover the
truth about the Wild Ones while untangling the web of lies and deceit her
father has masterfully spun.

The Moon Dwellers Synopsis:
In a desperate attempt to escape destruction decades earlier, humankind was forced underground, into the depths of the earth, creating a new society called the Tri-Realms.
After her parents and sister are abducted by the Enforcers, seventeen-year-old Adele, a member of the middle-class moon dwellers, is unjustly sentenced to life in prison for her parents' crimes of treason.
Against all odds, Adele must escape from the Pen and find her family, while being hunted by a deranged, killing machine named Rivet, who works for the President. She is helped by two other inmates, Tawni and Cole, each of whom have dark secrets that are better left undiscovered. Other than her friends, the only thing she has going for her is a wicked roundhouse kick and two fists that have been well-trained for combat by her father.
At the other end of the social spectrum is Tristan, the son of the President and a sun dweller. His mother is gone. He hates his father. Backed by only his servant and best friend, Roc, he leaves his lavish lifestyle in the Sun Realm, seeking to make something good out of his troubled life.
When a war breaks out within the Tri-Realms, Tristan is thrust into the middle of a conflict that seems to mysteriously follow Adele as she seeks to find her family and uncover her parents true past.
