Five hundred years into the post-apocalyptic future, almost every baby born is female. Males have been enslaved by the Network, and the only way to get a mate, to have a family, is to enter the Games and win. The catch? It’s a live battle to the death where the competition is fierce and even the winners leave damaged. Daniel is a 20-year-old bachelor with excellent home skills and no memory of his life before being sold to the government. Kind and unaggressive, he has been brainwashed to be the perfect, harmless mate who only hopes for a loving owner to take him out of his cell.

Quinta Voss survived the dig and learned the truth about her father's death, only to be reclassified by the colony AI. She made a bargain: stay quiet. Stay useful. Stay alive. Until a young boy arrives at her clinic with the same symptoms that killed his grandfather—a man who believed Sector...

When she fell asleep, the world was doomed. When she awoke, it was dead. In the wake of a fever that decimated the earth's population - killing women and children and making childbirth deadly for the mother and infant - the midwife must pick her way through the bones of the world she once knew to find her place in this dangerous new one. Gone are the pillars of civilization. All that remains is power - and the strong who possess it.

When Rosie and Jules discover a ground-breaking clinical trial that enables two women to have a female baby, they jump at the chance to make history. Fear-mongering politicians and right-wing movements are quick to latch on to the controversies surrounding Ovum-to-Ovum (o-o) technology and stoke the fears of the public. What will happen to the numbers of little boys born? Is there a sinister conspiracy to eradicate men at play?

Nowhere is safe. Clare and Dorran scramble to secure their temporary sanctuary from the hungry things outside. The hollow ones, ravenous beings unaffected by the violent winter storms, patiently lie in wait. It's not a matter of if Clare and Dorran are attacked, but when. And Clare knows she'll have to venture out into the night soon…Somewhere far away, Clare's sister Beth is trapped, with only hours to live. Hundreds of miles separate the sisters and the land between them is infested with monstrosities. 

Safe Haven has just finished the first leg of a journey that will take them ten thousand miles before it’s complete. Not quite halfway through their quest to save what’s left of their world, the survivors are now entering the most dangerous phase–leaving America. In just nine days, your favorite people will board that ship and sail off into the sunset… If they can get around one last set of obstacles converging on their location.

Safe Haven has been hit with awful blows since the war. They’ve been stalked, burned, shaken, shot, and betrayed so much that it’s now impossible to tell friends from enemies. Assassins and traitors have ruined the fragile peace, and personal dramas have weakened the dream of rebuilding a society of love and light. Surrounded by dangerous people and running low on supplies, the situation was already bleak when the camp arrived at that cursed mountain to make their settlement. Five hundred survivors crammed into the tunnels, hoping to be protected. They weren’t.

Alexa and her crew made it through the Killing Fields and found the road that will take them to the first portal that they hope to close. With the help of a blessed knife and a family friend, their next adventure shouldn’t be so harsh. Except, the knife isn’t blessed and the family friend is insane. Night Must Fall, for everyone.

After rescuing their daughter, Marie, from corporate-controlled Earth, Millicent and Ryker thought they were safe on their off-world paradise. They were wrong. Toton, once thought the weakest conglomerate, is now dominating ruined Earth with a sinister new technology. By harvesting minds for use in their supercomputers, they're enslaving the best and brightest humans to further their agenda. Millie and Ryker know that it's just a matter of time before Toton realizes the biggest prize - Marie's "gifted" mind - is merely a rocket ride away.

The mist is full of evil things—dark, twisted beings that think only of their own hunger—but Clare has clawed her way through. She and Dorran are alive against all odds, though relief is only temporary. Dorran is sick, and declining fast. The only way to save him lies in the mysterious Evandale Research Station, supposedly one of the few remaining places safe from the predators that lurk in the shadows. But the station is a three days' journey away, and it's unlikely their small group can endure that long out in the dark.

Sam Pruett is the roughest of her family. She wants an unused bachelor, and she loves to fight, but bringing down the Network is her real goal. When she heads to the time trials to start her turn in the games, chaos follows her every step of the way, but the only man who lingers in her mind is Baker, the leader of the rebels. As the Network’s hold finally begins to weaken over the country, Sam will face new challenges and horrors to ensure Baker’s survival.

Three months after the nuclear world war that turned America into a dangerous wasteland, Safe Haven has made it from California to South Dakota. Adrian now has six of the seven gifted people he needs to ensure the survival of their country. However, not everyone can handle Adrian’s version of safety - including some of his closest people. The refugee camp begins to rip apart, when Angela joins the Eagles, allowing a dangerous enemy to get too close.

Safe Haven has grown too powerful to be ignored. The remaining government wants all survivors secured for their own use or eliminated, and they couldn't have chosen a better time to reemerge from their dystopian holes. Safe Haven has a new leader and a long list of challenges to overcome in their fight for survival. Adrian's condition is critical, the camp isn't ready to accept magic, Mother Nature still has them in her crosshairs, and they are low on food, water, and fuel. The next eight weeks will be the hardest they've gone through yet. Can they bring the pieces together in time?

Adrian will soon discover if the choices he’s made have cost him a son. Even Angela can’t be sure. Neither can any of the others like her. The power of the descendants is growing, and so is Safe Haven's awareness of having magic in their midst. Angela is no longer the only seer in Adrian’s camp of survivors…if she ever was.
