After the cure to aging was discovered, the world spent a century warring over the right to live. The violence only ended when the Age Regime mandated that parents purchase lifespans for their children at birth. Price tags rise drastically with every additional year so that only the richest live for centuries and the poor die young.

There’s one loophole…

Born with an Expiration Date of 20 years, Adriel knows that becoming an Eternity, an elite soldier devoted to eliminating traitors of the Regime, is the only way she’ll see her twenty-first birthday.

Without a second thought, Adriel throws herself into her training as she prepares to take the cure. Stigmatized for her slum upbringing, Adriel finds herself in a constant series of fights until she befriends Dailen, an attractive and enigmatic fellow recruit who is determined to earn her trust.

But Dailen has his own agenda for becoming an Eternity, and when Adriel learns the truth she’ll have to decide whether she should continue fighting to live forever, or if she’s found a cause worth dying for.

This is the first installment in The Eternity Wars novella series.
