Mason and Noah exist in different worlds, but their lives are about
to collide.Mason has a habit of getting into trouble. He's been
kicked out of every place he's ever lived in. Moving to the
cult-like community of Alteria is definitely a last resort, even if
it's better than braving the wastelands outside. But following
their strict rules is a hundred times harder when Mason meets Eden,
who has a wicked streak to match his own. Caught with contraband,
Eden is forced into a programme to purge her bad behaviour. But
Mason has seen what happens to people who get purged, and knows he
will lose Eden if he can't help her find a way out.Out in the
wastelands, Noah has no memory of what happened before he was
abandoned in a war zone. All he wants is to know who he is, and if
he can trust the strangers who rescued him from the rubble.With
lies surrounding them on all sides, Mason and Noah must piece
together the truth if they want to escape. Failure is not an option
when it means being purged from existence.
The Giver is the classic award-winning novel that inspired the dystopian genre and a major motion picture adaptation for 2014 starring Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Katie Holmes and Taylor Swift.
It is the future. There is no war, no hunger, no pain. No one in the community wants for anything. Everything needed is provided. And at twelve years old, each member of the community has their profession carefully chosen for them by the Committee of Elders.
Twelve-year old Jonas has never thought there was anything wrong with his world. But from the moment he is selected as the Receiver of Memory, Jonas discovers that their community is not as perfect as it seems. It is only with the help of the Giver, that Jonas can find what has been lost. And it is only through his personal
courage that Jonas finds the strength to do what is right...
The Giver is the award-winning classic of bravery and adventure that has inspired countless dystopian writers as the forerunner of this genre.

believe she will never re-turn to the world she loved. But when she
begins to suffer from strange visions of a life and a love she left
behind-visions that grow darker and harsher with each passing
day-she begins to understand that her role in Arah Byen is far from
over. But when the moment finally comes that takes her back to Arah
Byen, she never could have expected what she would find. The world
should have been at peace, but a new enemy has crept from the
shadows, plotting the overthrow of all that Merelin holds dear. And
at his side is the rhesep, a mysterious, deadly assassin who
challenges everything Merelin believed to be true. With everything
turned upside-down and nothing as it seems, Merelin must discover
whose side she is really on, and who she can trust, before it is
too late. But how can she know who to trust, when she isn't even
sure she can trust herself?

They called her Prism, as if that was her name. Forced to take on a
new identity to protect herself from a still-angry people, Merelin
Lindon wants nothing more than to help bring the world of Arah Byen
into some kind of balance. But nothing is going as planned. The
High King Zhabyr is falling apart. Merelin's allies have scattered,
and even Yatol is acting more mysterious and tormented than ever.
And just when Merelin believes things can't get any worse, she is
framed for a terrible crime, and deserted by those who should have
defended her. But Merelin soon realizes that she is not the victim
of a horrible plot, but just one more pawn in a deadly game she
never really understood. It is the game immortals play, and nothing
can prepare her for the truths that are coming to light, or the
enemy she knows she will have to face. In the coming fight Merelin
cannot stand alone. But can she bring her allies together before it
is too late?
