#1
The Island
2015
“The revolution never came. We all waited, but it didn't happen. Eventually we just had to accept that the world is never going to change. The only way to escape is to come to the island.”
In the near future, it's not hard to end up on the wrong side of the law. Every lie counts, every minor mistake. Build up enough points, and you'll be hauled off to work for the government. The only possible escape is the island, a remote wilderness with no rules and no laws. But if you choose to go to the island, you can never come back.
Everyone knows that only crazy people go to the island.
Arrested for a crime she didn't commit, Iris soon discovers that she already has a long criminal record she never knew about. When her world comes crashing down, she makes the ultimate choice and invokes her right to be sent to the island. There, she quickly discovers the horrors of a land where anyone can do anything they want, free of all rules and laws. She also meets Asher, a mysterious girl with a dark past and a crazy plan to establish her own town in the midst of the island's chaos. First, though, they both have to face a deadly group with a taste for human flesh.
The Island is the first book in the Steadfall series, about two people trying to establish their own order in a mad world, and about the horrors that take place when humanity is let off the leash.

#2
Persona
2016
“We can fight them. They think they're untouchable, but they're not. We can get to them and we can make them pay for everything they did to us!”
Five years after it was born in a patch of mud, the town of Steadfall is slowly getting stronger. As she tries to retain control, however, Asher finds that her authority is being whittled away. Just when she thinks she might lose the town entirely, three strangers arrive and offer to help. One in particular, a man named Harold, seems to understand exactly what Asher needs. Unfortunately, his help comes at a terrible cost.
Meanwhile, Iris has left town and set out to explore the island, searching for a lost town that supposedly pre-dates Steadfall. What she finds, however, is a chilling reminder of the island's savagery, and a warning that more horror is to come. Soon, the residents of Steadfall find themselves fighting for their lives, while Asher starts to experience terrifying glimpses of the past that was wiped from her mind.
Persona is the second book in the Island series, about a group of people who fled the modern world and sought refuge in a wild and savage land.

#3
The Abyss
2017
"Wherever you go, war will follow. War and pain and death, for everyone around you."
When a boat comes ashore on the island, Iris discovers that its occupant is an important figure from the mainland. But why would anyone risk such a dangerous journey, and what does the mysterious stranger want with Asher? Soon, more new arrivals reach the island. Two opposing armies, each determined to get the upper hand, stake their positions on the beach. Before long, the future of the island itself is in doubt, as fighting breaks out and as the town of Steadfall is attacked. The armies are looking for Asher, but Asher has been dead for a decade. Or at least, that's what everybody is supposed to believe. Including her young daughter Nissa.
The Abyss is the third book in the Island series, set in a dystopian future. The book ends on a cliffhanger, to be resolved in the fourth and final part of the series.
