The world is coming to an end.
And all you've been told about it are lies.
After the Great Pandemic, 1/2986th of humanity are left clawing for survival. One more death doesn’t make a difference, does it?
Micka is barely sixteen when she decides to kill herself. She doesn’t fit in, doesn’t understand people or social rules. She doesn’t even understand herself. To her, all words have flavors, and emotions come with such force that she can’t help but carve them into her skin.
Only hours before her meticulously planned suicide, she meets Runner - a mysterious stranger who makes an offer she finds hard to reject: a life far away from home as a Sequencer’s apprentice.
There are only two rules:
Survive.
Kill.
Based in scientific reality, the 1/2986 Climate Fiction Saga presents a terrifying glimpse into our possible future and the costs of climate change.
An emotional tour de force that will appeal to fans of THE HUNGER GAMES and THE HANDMAID'S TALE

"The world before me is round. Not round as in sphere-round, but as in circular-round, a dotted cross stamped on its milky surface. Green is the only colour glimmering atop the greyscale. Green is where my bullets will go. Black and green is how blood looks when it spills. Even the scents of the forest are black and green. Black like the soil; green like the foliage. The white is the fog. The Fog. Me. Silently, I embrace and engulf you. You don't hear the bullet that gets you, for it travels faster than sound. You don't hear death leaping at you. But I can hear you dying. And I can see your body growing as grey and black as the soil that drinks your blood."
Book 3: Ice
Fog left readers hanging, and Ice begins with a fall. Literally. As the story unfolds, we find out what happened to Micka over the past two years at the hands of the BSA. Now, the scars that she carved on her flesh as a child is nothing compared to the ones that she carries inside. As she undertakes a journey to destroy the BSA, she also finds the courage to heal and trust.
Gritty, brutal, and at times, beautiful. This dystopian novel explores both the light and dark of humanity and kept me turn
