Synopsis:
(Spoiler warning for those who have not read volumes 1-4)

Nearly a decade has passed since the leadership decapitation of both the Conflagrian Revolution and the Nurro-Ichthyothian Resistance. Without Red Leader Scarlet July and Ichthyothian Diving Fleet Commander Cease Lechatelierite, the northwestern hemisphere of Second Earth has fallen prey to endless war, oppression, poverty and isolation.

Heartbroken over the state of the world, the unfulfilled prophecy, the loss of his friends and the death of Scarlet and Cease’s unborn son, war veteran Nurtic Leavesleft retreats to civilian Nuria and resigns to living out his days in depressive monotony... until he unexpectedly comes across a peculiar child who strongly reminds him of the legendary comrades he lost, so long ago. Did covalent, iridescent Commence July Lechatelierite somehow survive Scarlet’s assassination and will Second Earth ever be the same because of it?

~~~

The six-novel Spectrum series follows an eclectic cast of young adults fighting to survive and find their place and purpose in the wars plaguing the dystopian, future world of Second Earth. From fantastical world-building, to combat sequences, to geopolitics, to the exploration of a soldier's psyche, to racial and social commentary, to the turmoil and confusion that comes with the teenage years, to forbidden romance, this sextet is a fast-paced, character-driven, sci-fi/fantasy adventure for the Divergent and Hunger Games generation.

Synopsis:
(Spoiler warning for those who have not read volumes 1-3)

The international and civil wars of Second Earth rage on. When the Fire Island's totalitarian regime begins reversing the damage to the Core Crystal recently inflicted by the late Ichthyothian Diving Fleet Commander Cease Lechatelierite, magekind falls under imminent threat of mental slavery. Desperate to rescue the northwestern hemisphere from endless violence before its too late for her people, Scarlet July rallies her Red warriors and her former Nordic comrades to spearhead a revolt against the Second Earth Order.

All the while, Scarlet is concealing a secret that cannot remain one for long — a secret that threatens her health, ability to fight and access to the spectrum. Pregnant with the first half-mage 'covalent' child in history, will she manage to liberate her people, protect the Nurro-Ichthyothian Alliance, overthrow the world government, preserve her own life and carry on Cease’s legacy?

Synopsis:
(Spoiler warning for those who have not read volume 1)

In the wake of the spectrum's diffusion, the Island of Fire finds itself with neither magic nor technology, plunged into chaos and poverty. Scarlet July, no longer imbued with her extraordinary gifts, struggles to lead the revolution against the totalitarian government. Frightened and alone, she seeks support from her childhood acquaintance, Ambrek Coppertus, whose complicated past casts a shadow upon his motives.

Three-thousand miles north, in the ice island of Ichthyosis, Diving Fleet Admiral Cease Lechatelierite learns the victory he declared is short-lived. Despite the diffusion, his enemies figure a way to continue the international war, threatening the very coherence of the alliance that sustains his nation. Separated and scarred, will Scarlet and Cease find a means to save their peoples before it’s too late?
