Hurst
Where would you go to escape a deadly virus that’s infected billions? When the Millennial Virus rampaged unchecked across the world, the pandemic swept away everything we held dear. Small groups took refuge where they could. There was no time to mourn. Survival was all that mattered. For those lucky enough to call Hurst their home the medieval fortress provides sanctuary from the surrounding wasteland. Far away from the smoking ruins of the cities, on the south coast of England, a lawless power vacuum exists without electricity or government. As Zed Samuels and the other survivors struggle to rebuild their shattered lives, rival groups covet the castle’s closely-guarded resources, probing its defences. When a military-led relief operation threatens to tip the balance of power, Hurst’s stalwart leader, Jack, faces a desperate choice. He must decide whether to set aside their differences and join an alliance that promises new hope or unite against the newcomers and their plans for reconstruction. Zed and Jack must discover the truth about the Allies before it’s too late, but who can they trust? The battle for Hurst has begun. The virus is the least of their concerns.

Sound of Sirens
On the island of Skylge, electricity is only for the Currents – the rich ruling class who once came from across the sea and brought the holy fire of St. Brandan to Skylge. Ever since, the light in the Brandaris Tower has protected the islanders. Heeding the Siren's call will drown your body and steal your soul, but the sacred light in the Tower will chase the merfolk away. When Skylger girl Enna welcomes her brother back from a long sea voyage, he gives her a special present from the mainland – an electronic record only playable on a Current device. The problem is that Royce Bolton, Current heartthrob and the town’s most gifted pianist, wants it too. After she stubbornly refuses to sell the LP featuring his favorite artist, he suggests sharing the record by secretly meeting up in his private summer house. Taken aback yet thrilled, Enna agrees – and discovers that there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to Current society and the history of Skylge. Why do the Sirens tempt the islanders to give themselves up to the sea? And where does the Currents’ monopoly on electricity really come from? While struggling with these questions, Enna begins to fall for Royce, risking everything to be with a guy who is clearly wrong for her. She will learn that the sound of Sirens isn’t the most treacherous thing out there to haunt her dreams.
