Coveted
When the dust of the End War settled, only a fraction of the world’s population remained, and two brothers at odds quickly rose to power. Two settlements. Two sides of the same mountain. No peace.
Generations later, both sides have expanded into nations divided by sectors and classed by wealth. Those at the top thrive, while those at the bottom live in squalor under the thumb of tyranny, and war has become the valuable sport of a now deadly sibling rivalry.
Dagger Leary has lived in the North Side Valley Sector, the Gutter, all her life, doing what she must, along with her older brother Tempest, to keep her family alive, fed, and safe. In public, she’s the same as everyone else—just another citizen trying to make ends meet. In secret, she’s much more—the last remaining vessel carrying an invaluable genetic code believed to be extinct.
With her eighteenth birthday looming, Dagger fears her chances of being stripped from her family and drafted to war. Few survive their terms in combat, and those who do are never the same, but she is soon to learn a much bigger threat is at hand. Someone has discovered her secret.

Coveted is the first volume of The Last Assassin Series, a heart-pounding collection of dystopian, sci-fi novellas.
