The Remedy Files Series

When the world ends, how do you start over? The woman only needed her family, hope, and the man she's been in love with since she was five years old. When the man was five, he made a promise to protect the woman he loves at all costs. He didn't expect that to be threatened by the Apocalypse. Now at eighteen, they've witnessed the slow unraveling of their dreams as nature and men compete to wipe out humanity and annihilate the earth they once adored. The lands have shrunk, loved ones murdered, and every minute of life is a fight for survival. It's not the global revolution the woman and man envisioned when they were young and innocent, but a lot can change when love is sacrificed.  Anything becomes possible.  Even the most drastic measures to create a brand new life.    This 9,000-word novelette is the prequel to The Remedy Files Trilogy and includes the first 5 chapters of The Remedy Files: Illusion. It may be read before or after any book in the series. For fans of young adult dystopian like The Giver, Hunger Games, and Divergent.   The Remedy Files Trilogy Book#1: Illusion Book #2: Rebirth Book #3: Divided   

Would you sacrifice your life to feel? For eighteen years, Evangeline has been raised without physical or emotional feelings. All decisions are made by Impetus, the only remaining community in a barren and destroyed world, that has repopulated humankind with their strict system. But her life isn't as it appears. A forbidden friendship with a boy surviving on the outskirts of Impetus teaches Evangeline a dangerous choice she didn't think she had. When Evangeline defies Impetus's plans for her future on her eighteen birthday, she awakens from a dark punishment to a divided world, power clashes, and senseless murders masked by lies of goodwill. With her life and the lives of those she loves on the line, Evangeline must discern the truth from the illusion while fighting the injustices forced on humankind. Is life worth living if you live without feelings? Readers Reviews "I found this book to be very well written, with great character development, excellent world building, very atmospheric, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't want it to end, but couldn't stop reading because I had to find out what happened next. Thankfully there is another installment, I can't wait!" - Carolyn, Goodreads "The book is reminiscent of other dystopian novels, such as The Giver, the Matched trilogy, and Delirium, but only in very small sections, and I soon realized that this was a book all of its own." - Jessica, Goodreads "An interesting take on YA Dystopian fiction, Eckhardt manages to wrap the naivete of the world up in a neat little socialised bow. Whilst creating the characters for this novel, you can see that great care was taken to personify these people, and highlighted the way people can be brainwashed to believe their flaws are better for the many." -Lauren, Goodreads "If you're looking for a really great dystopian novel that has excellent writing, complex characters, cute romances, twists and edge of your seat moments... this is the book for you. I cannot wait to read the next one in this series!" - Elizabeth, Goodreads   "I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys dystopias. If that's a genre you like to read, this novel is one to add to your list." - Courtney, Goodreads The Remedy Files Trilogy Book #1: Illusion Book #2: Rebirth Book #3: Divided

Book #2 of The Remedy Files Trilogy  In this sequel to The Remedy Files: Illusion, Evangeline finds herself a prisoner in a new community called Revival after her abduction from Rebirth. Equally cold and filled with unfeeling people who don't know life in any other way, Revival sets the direction for The New World. Evangeline's brief encounter with the very-much-alive Gavin has her questioning his integrity and true role in their history together. In Revival, Evangeline learns The New World has determined that people with natural intuition and precognition are of special use to them, the exact abilities identified in Evangeline, Gavin, and most of those in Rebirth who can warn when bad events are about to occur. But after discovering Gavin's traitorous acts, new alliances must be formed, and Evangeline has a different mission in mind. People deserve to have choices and to feel, and Evangeline won't stop fighting until Revival reinstates basic human rights. It starts with getting everyone in Rebirth on board. Then saving Impetus and the other communities once and for all, regardless of Revival's—and Gavin's—attempts to stop her.
