Seventeen-year-old Alora is a Hawker, and she's been training her whole life for this. This is the week of the annual Amnesty Games. Accompanied by her five fellow Hawkers, Alora is about to do battle with a hundred of the Hopefuls, the most violent and dangerous convicts from the Ward. It's five days of hand-to-hand combat, physical challenges, mazes, traps, and obstacle courses, all followed by a two-day Pursuit through the Netherwoods where Alora and the Hawkers will track down any of the Hopefuls who've managed to make it that far. If the Hopefuls succeed, they get their freedom. If not, it's back to prison for the rest of their lives. It's been this way since the start of the New States. But what happens when buried secrets are revealed and the two sides stop playing the game by the same rules?

The 3:15 bell used to mean the end of class. Now, it means the end of everything.The Purple War is raging outside the protective walls of Aegis Academy. The infected, murderous Virulents are getting more aggressive on the inside.With enemies all around, Virtue finds herself trapped in her dorm with new friends, former rivals, her faithful service dog Beynac, and her very first boyfriend.Led by the clever and charismatic Comus and with the Apocalypchix as his personal security detail, the so-called "Remainders" set out to create a whole new society. But how perfect can a new society be when it's built on the old foundations of jealousy, falsehood, and fear?For Virtue and her fellow survivors, it's "us against the world."And the world is winning.

It's been more than five years since Kress and her Conspiracy defeated Krug and his Patriot Army, traveled through Europe and back, completed a cross-country rescue mission, and made it home alive. Things were looking up for the future of the nation...until the members of the Cult of the Devoted and the teenagers of the Army of the Unsettled decided to light the fuse for an all-out civil war.Now, a special Academy-hidden high in the mountains and designed as a school to train young Emergents in the use of their abilities-is being forced into the fight. On the brink of a new global apocalypse, the mysterious raven-whisperer Branwynne and the techno-genetically enhanced teenagers of the Emergents Academy find themselves entangled in a three-way battle for power, where survival is doubtful, peace is impossible, and death is inevitable.

The adventure continues...Things are not okay. With a certain dragon missing, Vega is faced with an awful choice: Return to Fairhaven alone, or embark on a dangerous hunt in the hopes of saving Callum.With the help of Lachlan, Niala, and Merriwether, she makes a promise that will lead her on a new quest...and this one may be her last.

The year is 2088. Under Athena's Law, men are no longer allowed to own guns. Women hold all the power.The world is at peace. Or so it seems.Desperately protecting an unusual secret, Marion leads her team of female Tracers on a mission to track down the Inciters, an elusive and violent underground group of men hell-bent on getting their guns and power back.Things get complicated when Victor, an Inciter with a personal agenda, finds himself swept up in a deadly race for freedom and societal control. What follows is a high-tech battle of the sexes that calls into question every assumption they've all made about men, about women, and about the world they thought they knew.

War is coming to the Otherwhere, and the Orb of Kilarin is still hidden somewhere, awaiting discovery by a Seeker. In the meantime, Vega has returned to Fairhaven. A new threat has risen in the Otherwhere's South, and there is little time left to make the ancient prophecy come true. Betrayal, bonds, and a battle in Fairhaven will threaten Vega's life, her love, and the family she's managed to build.Will she be able to stop the danger before all is lost?

In the year 2043, with the nation destroyed by war, seventeen-year-old Kress and her Conspiracy of friends embark on a dangerous cross-country mission to locate and recruit other Emergents, the name given to teenagers who have begun to exhibit strange evolutionary abilities. Not all Emergents are ready to accept who and what they are, however, and some have even started using their abilities for selfish or evil ends. Now Kress has to figure out who is friend and who is foe as she risks everything to expose the government's lies and take down the tyrannical President Krug once and for all. Picking up where the Resistance Trilogy leaves off, the stand-alone Emergents Trilogy follows Kress and her Conspiracy on a daring quest to restore democracy and truth to the country.

What happens when the first day of school is the last day of the world?For sixteen-year-old Virtue, navigating 11th grade is hard enough. Throw in the mass carnage of the Purple War, the brain-mangling Lemming Plague, and the overnight, post-apocalyptic breakdown of civilization, and suddenly, arguing with her parents, being picked on by bullies, and tyrannized by her teachers doesn't seem quite so devastating.Now, trapped on the campus of her elite, co-ed boarding school, Virtue's new priorities are saving her best friend (and potential boyfriend?), fending off Virulents, dodging Clique Baiters and Serial Daters, and rescuing Beynac-her Golden Retriever service dog. Oh, and surviving.It took sixteen years of torment and insecurity to make Virtue a wallflower. It took a single day of classes (and an academy full of brainwashed, dog-stealing, finger-eating killers) to turn her into the school's most feared and deadly badass.
