Privilege (Peaceful Society Book 1)
In 2034 women have taken control of Greater Maryland, and weapons are banned all over the world. Amity has spent her life trying to do everything her mother, teachers, and government expect of her. Now she is ready to take her Oath and train to become an Officer of the Peaceful Society.
Vale is in Baltimore on a dangerous assignment, rescuing men to train in his father’s militia. He knows the women of the PS can never be trusted, never be forgiven for what happened to his mother. Nothing on Oath Day goes as expected. Amity is sent on a mission far from home. She’ll have to convince Vale she’s turned her back on the PS, and convince herself that the Peaceful Society is still worth fighting for.
Prisoner (Peaceful Society Book 2)
Vale Adamson is trapped by the leadership of the PS, detained in an outdoor prison for unacceptable and unwanted men on the outskirts of the so-called Peaceful Society. In West Virginia, his father is still planning to attack Greater Maryland. Vale is determined to escape, but not before he learns the truth about his mom.
Amity Bloome faces rigorous training at the Institute, where her mother insists she stay to become a Community Officer. But Amity is not the same person she was, and the PS is changing as well. Expecting to be trained in de-escalation and non-violence, Ami realizes she’s being honed as a weapon, along with all of the women at the Institute. Something big is coming. Can Amity and Vale reunite in time to stop it?
Join me on YouTube as I dive into the full alternative timeline and world building of the Peaceful Society and how we got from our reality in 2016 to a world without weapons in 2026!
