Saved by their lies (Book 1 of Gaia Chronicles)
"Sometimes death offers us the protection that we need."
North and South. Exiled and Warriors. Real-world vs dream world.
Ellie and the people of the south have no recollection of their past. Their childhood life. Their everything. Nothing. But their names. They just found themselves in a world wherein they were being hunted by the warriors to death without knowing why. They woke up outside the city walls and every day is a matter of life and death. How you will survive in that cruel and twisted world. All she knows is that she got to stay alive. But that changed when the warriors killed the only family she has. Ever since then, she had been seeking vengeance but little does she know that what she doesn't know may actually change the course of games.
Raven and the people of the north have no recollection of their past. Their childhood life. Their everything. Nothing. But their names. He and the others found themselves involved in a chaotic way of living wherein they have to kill in order to survive. Separated by a barrier, Raven wanted to know what was on the other side of the fence, he wanted to know what was inside the south. And why they were prohibited to go there. So when an offer to cross it lands on his way, he instantly grabs ahold of it. Even though it means, sacrificing his life.
Ellie, Raven and together with their friends, began to unveil the reality of the past and the secrets behind the "walled city" but little did they know that those secrets can do more than harming them...

*EXCERPT*
KEEP RUNNING. KEEP GOING. That is my mandate of life. If you stop you'll start to lose track. In this world, there's no such thing as "looking back" or "going back". There's only "forget and move on."
I didn't know when my life got so complicated. Or maybe my life was already complicated. The moment I opened my eyes and found myself in the middle of nowhere with no idea of how to live, I just wanted to survive. So as days drag by, I start to learn how to live and how to stay alive even though that is a bit of a struggle considering there are people who want to kill me. Don't ask me why. Because I also don't know. Actually, that is the question of my life. Why do people want me dead? Or rather why do people want us dead? Because it's not just me but all of us. All of the exiles living and dying every day in these little lonely woods.
All my life, I've been running and running away from them, away from the reality I have to face. But no more. It's time to fight back. I will fight back. Because the moment they took away my only family, hell broke loose.
