Callasandra Fractured
Stephanie Douglas
When a dimensional fracture scatters humanity, sixteen-year-old Cassi Dyson wakes up alone in Cimerrion, a world where people from Earth—people like her—are hunted. To survive, she becomes Callasandra and is forced into a state-run training camp where every move is watched. When Joren, a fellow student, discovers her secret, he introduces her to the Antistasi, a resistance group working against the regime. Desperate to find her family, Cassi turns to the Antistasi, only to learn that one wrong move could make her, and anyone who helps her, disappear forever.
Dystopian
Prowler
Nic Plume
He was trained to obey. Now he must choose who to become. Injured during his advancement trial, Luca wakes among those he was taught to fear. What begins as recovery becomes a reckoning—with the City’s teachings, the Wilders’ judgment, and his own unraveling certainty. Luca is a Prowler—an elite enforcer bred for loyalty, control, and obedience. His advancement trial was meant to test his readiness for promotion. Instead, an injury leaves him stranded in the Wilde, rescued by those the City calls dangerous and irrational. He expects hostility. What he finds is more complicated. Some Wilders want him gone. Some show restraint, even care. Most don’t trust him. But it’s the ones who hesitate—the ones who study him, question him, try to understand him—that leave him most off-balance. Not because of what they do… but because of what they make him begin to see. As his body heals, old certainties start to shift. What began as a test of endurance becomes something far more dangerous: a quiet unmaking of the beliefs he was never meant to question. Winner of the February 2026 International Impact Book Award and the 2025 Chaptermint Indie Book Award, PROWLER is a character-driven dystopian sci-fi thriller about indoctrination, perception, and identity, set in a fractured world where obedience is survival… and survival is no longer enough.
