Ten years apart. Three nights of uncovered secrets. One decision to change it all. Miserable and bound in a marriage she never wanted, Olivia Smith has played her part in The Nation's marriage system for the last ten years. She had two children and supported their schooling, cared for her mother and sister, and never used her Challenge Pass from the Marriage Reward System-showing everyone she believed in the life of The Nation. Until now. Determined to have something for herself, Olivia selects the Challenge Pass as her ten-year anniversary reward, which allows her three nights with state-sanctioned escorts at The Challenge Center. She experiences intimate encounters, uncovered secrets, and a decision that will change her path forever. When Ethan, her true love, stands before her as a state-sanctioned escort, Olivia questions the last ten years of her life. To Ethan, Olivia is the last key to undoing The Nation and everyone who believes in its future. To Olivia, Ethan is the escape she's wanted, but now that he's in front of her, can she actually take the leap and leave the world she knows behind her? In The Marriage Wars: Book One, Melissa Gowdy Baldwin's dystopian world asks us to question the role power and gender play in our need for connection, denial, and choice.

In a world where magic is reserved only for women, The Oracle & The Remnant follows Lilith, a young woman whose magic awakens unexpectedly, branding her an abomination in the eyes of her devout and ambitious father. When he arranges her marriage to a man who promises to "cleanse" her, Lilith escapes and seeks refuge at Katafiyo, a temple where Oracles are trained to bestow their power to supplicants. But the zealot Vaasgue is gathering influence in the city, determined to eradicate the Oracles and strip magic from women forever, gifting it to men instead. As the literal and existential threat looms, Lilith must decide if she will continue to give away her power or stand in her ownership of it-knowing that only by embracing her magic can she face the man who would see her, and all women like her, destroyed. But the most dangerous choice of all? To awaken. To rise. To fight back.

The first time she chooses herself and celebrates a solo birthday trip in the forest, a wolf spirit binds itself to her and claims her as its vessel, transforming her into a werewolf. She finds herself thrust into the middle of a supernatural war where shapeshifters defend humanity against sorcerers determined to destroy it. When she finds out the sorcerers have taken her brother, the fight becomes personal, and she'll do whatever it takes to get him back, even if it means becoming a monster herself. But the spirit inside her is unlike any the shapeshifters have seen before. To save her brother, Bay will have to convince the wolves her spirit can be trusted--and learn to trust it herself.

She grapples with the class system even as she accepts an invitation to join the Aristoi as an apprentice. Yet her world is turned upside down when she receives an unexpected message from an unknown source. Together with her best friend, Chaz, she embarks on a dangerous and uncertain journey to uncover the truth about Dream Corp. The reality is more dire and unfathomable than Juniper could have ever imagined.
