The Fractured Prism, book one of The Prism Files (YA dystopian with a touch of romance)

E-book: $3.99, Paperback: $13.99

He's shackled in the darkness. She's blinded by the light. Together, can they save their fractured world before it shatters?

The Prism made him a Red, the lowest of the low. It was supposed to be the great equalizer. It was supposed to end the control of the powerful over the vulnerable. Instead, the color-coded classes it created further entrenched society's divide. For thirteen years, Ivan 181375 has fought to destroy the Prism as a lieutenant in the rebel Militia. Each day for him is a struggle to survive in the darkness, but everything changes when he saves the life of a princess and is thrown into the royal political game itself.

For as long as she can remember, Julia's life has been full of nothing but royal intrigue and comfort, separated from the peoples' struggle under the tyrannical rule of the United People's Front. Each day for her is another in the blinding royal lights, but everything changes when she is attacked outside the walls and must be saved by a mysterious Red who opens her eyes to the dark world beyond.

Together, this unlikely pair has the chance to shatter the Prism, but if they are going to survive the threats from within the monarchy and beyond, they must learn to trust one another and sacrifice everything. Loyalties will be tested, love will be found in unlikely places, and Ivan will have to decide what matters to him more: his fight or her life.

Exile: The Book of Ever

Exile is the first book in a post-apocalyptic fantasy trilogy about a group of characters trying to find a new home for their people centuries after the devastating event they know only as the Fall.

The United States is a ruined wasteland, ruled by twisted mutants and violent, lawless human tribes. Amidst this chaos, a small community of insular post-Christian survivalists has managed to survive, and even thrive, but their enemies are increasingly aggressive.

Some of the Blessed, as they call themselves, are Saints: people born with superhuman abilities--which the Blessed see as God-given blessings. A group of young people, led by Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, sets out into the uncharted north to find a safe haven for their people.

It's sort of The Walking Dead meets The Hunger Games meets The Stand.

You can read the first five chapters for free at my website.

Item.

IT is my favorite Stephen King novel. I'm not sure exactly why, but it was also coincidentally the first horror movie I ever saw!

If I win, can I have this one?

Trash by Andy Mulligan is a YA crime/adventure story centred around kids who scrounge garbage for a living.

Children of The Noah: The Barren Earth (Volume 1)?

Amazon UK link

Exile, part one of The Book of Ever, is a post-apocalyptic adventure novel that begins with a religious community facing annihilation at the hands of a violent tribe.

Some of the Blessed, as the community calls themselves, have supernatural gifts: the power to heal or superhuman strength, for example, which they see as gifts from a benevolent God.

It's the first book of a trilogy, set in the ruins of New England hundreds of years after a nuclear war. The main character, Ever Oaks, is a young woman tasked with finding a new home for her people, who sets out only to discover that she faces an enemy with far grander designs than simply depriving the Blessed of their home.

The novel follows Ever and her companions through a devastated landscape filled with lawless raiders and dangerous mutants, pursued by a insane cult leader increasingly obsessed with Ever herself.

Available in paperback and ebook on Amazon.

Hi Everyone,

I stumbled across this subreddit a few days ago. It seems like a great site with a lot of relevant information. Loving it so far :)

So, my name is Sarah Dalton. The username is because there's another sarahdalton somewhere and because I had a thing for JD Salinger. I'm a self-published author and writer of the YA dystopian series 'Blemished', a story about a girl labelled genetically inferior in a world of clones. It's quite a bit more complicated than that, but I'll leave it at that for now!

Salut les gens !

Je profite du dimanche autopromo pour vous parler de mon premier roman, Au-delà de la Lumière, sorti le mois passé aux éditions Scrineo.

De la SF young adult, qui plaira aux fans d'Inception ou de Matrix, aux amateurs de MMA ou de jeux de combat, et à ceux qui ont aimé lire Hunger Games ou même Les Thanatonautes.

Voici le résumé :

>Dans le futur, la réalité virtuelle a fait place aux rêves lucides partagés. Une version extrême de cette technologie, basée sur des expériences de mort imminente contrôlées, a donné naissance à la métamachie : un sport de combat opposant deux compétiteurs dans des arènes subconscientes, armés de leurs souvenirs manipulables à volonté.

>À dix-sept ans, David redoute cette discipline dont l’étoile montante n’est autre que Théa, sa petite amie. Plus sa carrière progresse, plus elle s’éloigne de lui. Tout bascule le jour où elle ne se réveille pas à la fin d’un combat. Alors que l’organisation étouffe l’affaire, David se retrouve seul et sans réponses.

>Lorsque l’opportunité de participer à un tournoi amateur s’offre à lui, il y voit une chance de mener l’enquête de l’intérieur. Mais ses propres souvenirs semblent se mettre en travers de son chemin.

>Jusqu’où est-il prêt à aller pour découvrir la vérité ?

Si ça vous tente, vous me trouverez dans toutes vos librairies, ou sur Amazon.

De plus, j'en profite pour vous annoncer qu'un AMA est prévu pour ce mardi 26 novembre (organisé avec la modération), et qu'on aura l'occasion de parler du livre, de processus d'écriture en général, de parcours vers l'édition (le mien a été un peu insolite) et du Salon du Livre et de la Presse Jeunesse qui a lieu à Montreuil le weekend prochain !

D'ici là, n'hésitez pas à me suivre sur Instagram/Twitter/Facebook (TheDanielmat), et à très bientôt !
