A set of three books: Containment Site, Cities of Wrath, Lord of the Wasteland.
When the old world fell, floating islands became the last hope for the chosen. Those left behind were doomed to die on the mainland, where among ruins and fear, a new will to live was born—and a lethal army of mutants multiplied. Ariadna Derby, the daughter of the head of the ruling corporation, goes through ruthless trials on the military island Containment Site to prove to herself and others that she is ready to fight on equal terms with everyone else. But in a place where every day you must fight for survival, and enemies may even hide among “your own,” no one can be sure of tomorrow.
Erik Derby, heir to the Hive and a fighter of Containment Site, challenges the usual order and becomes the leader of those who refuse to submit to dictatorship and lies. His path runs through the ruins of the former civilization—toward those who still remember what hope, loyalty, and love are. But the true threat is Aristeia. Once a human, now the Lord of the Wasteland and the pinnacle of evolution that nobody sought. Swarms of his subordinate mutants shake the world where everything hinges on a single choice: bow your head to the new god and disappear—or rise up and defend your right to exist. Where empires collapse and cities die, a new era is born. The Wasteland Era. The Era of Aristeia.
