Contingents- Part I (COMING SOON)

In 2192, the world changed forever.

After the devastating World War III, the remnants of the old United States became a barren, fragile land. In this void, a new leader, William Blair, rose from the silence to restore order. His vision? A society rebuilt through purpose.

At eighteen, every citizen must face the ludicium—a test dividing the population into two stark categories: the important and the expendable. Your future is determined instantly, leaving no room for second chances.

Kate and Axel are about to face their reckoning.

Kate has trained her entire life to join the militia, fighting for the Unum Terram to defend against its rebels. She falls under the wing of the Commander, placing herself in a guaranteed position of power in the future. But when a shocking murder derails her path, she’s forced into a decision that could change everything.

Axel, on the other hand, is more concerned for his genius sister than himself. But when he’s captured by an underground criminal network, he must choose between loyalty and a chance to save the world.

As their lives intertwine, Kate and Axel must navigate a world where survival means questioning everything they’ve been taught.

Will they shape the future—or will the future shape them?
