The Echelon Series

"Combination of The Hunger Games, The 100 and Divergent!"  They said nothing could survive outside. They lied… Welcome to Echelon, a domed city that protects the survivors of a ravaged Earth. Here, the wealthy elite live in Sky, high above the poor dwellers of Dirt. And Dirt children known as Decimites are injected with nanobots, allowing them to survive in a world ravaged by toxins. Forced to gather resources from Outside, their enhancements grant them a chance for a better life. But few live long enough to enjoy it… Dirt Dweller Myla wasn't chosen to be a Decemite. But she still carries the nanobots in her blood—a secret she has revealed only to a chosen few. When Myla's young sister disappears after her first mission Outside, Myla must leave the safety of her dome to find her. Lock, a Decimite champion, joins Myla on her journey. But as they venture across the perilous wasteland, they meet Ben, a human living beyond the dome. This young rebel shows Myla that life Outside is nothing like what she was told. To find her sister, she'll need both Ben and Lock's help. But if Lock discovers the secret hiding in Myla's blood, the penalty is death…

Paradise was a lie. But the truth may be even more dangerous… Myla always believed that Echelon was paradise. A safe haven from the toxic, mutant-infested wasteland outside. But when she flees the domed city to rescue her sister, Ona, Myla discovers it was all a lie. There are humans living outside. Rebels like Ben, a boy who shows her a freedom she never thought possible… But Echelon is still in danger, and they each must continue their fight—Ben from the Outside, and Myla from within. She returns home with her friend Lock, where they are both lauded as heroes for rescuing Ona. Thrust from their hovel in the Dirt to the wealthy heights of the Sky, Myla struggles to fit in, as a deadly plot threatens the lives of those closest to her. When Decemites start disappearing, Myla is driven to figure out why, before every Decemite in the Sky suffers the same fate—including her sister. Delving into the secrets of Echelon and its leader, Lady Lazrad, Myla and her friends uncover yet another lie, one that could shatter their faith all over again. A lie that powerful leaders like Lazrad will kill to protect.… Ramona Finn invites you to immerse yourself in this young adult dystopian fiction with fearless characters who find love in the darkest of places and break through barriers in a merciless post-apocalyptic society.

Myla will need to dig deep to save the ones she loves… All her life, Myla was told Echelon was the only place humans could survive. A journey outside the domed city proved that was a lie. Now all the other lies told by Lady Lazrad, the leader of Echelon, are unravelling, leading Myla down a path to open rebellion. At her side are Ben and Lock, one a rebel boy, the other a nanobot infused Decemite who fled Echelon with her. They've both helped her grow as a person and into her power, but her heart is confused what she wants from either of them. With death hanging over her, Myla knows the only way to save the people of Echelon and those outside the city that Lazrad is determined to annihilate is to reveal the iron fisted ruler's treachery and remove her from power. No matter the cost.

On an Earth ravaged by toxic waste and violent mutants, one girl with power in her blood will rise to save them. Only the Decemites—carefully selected children injected with nanobots and trained to survive the treacherous terrain Earth has become—can survive the outside long enough to collect resources for the domed city of Echelon. Decemites who serve long enough have a chance at a better life. But few live to experience their reward. Myla's only ever known the stratified life inside the dome. As the secret child of a forbidden Decemite relationship, she has abilities like no one else, abilities she's had to keep hidden her entire life. But when her Decemite sister goes missing on a mission, Myla's search to bring her home will uncover the truth about the Outside and the secrets the leader of Echelon has been keeping. No normal human is supposed to be able to survive outside the dome, but rebel Outsiders prove that wrong. By her side is Lock, the Decemite golden boy and unlikely companion in her quest. As she grows closer to Lock, a rebel boy, Ben, shows her the lies that Echelon has been keeping. He draws her deep into the rebel world and a life she never could have imagined. As she uncovers the ugly truths about Echelon, Myla will have to make a choice: can she ever go back to her old life, or is her only chance at freedom to tear down the only world she's ever known?
