Sólo un año más hasta que pueda abandonar la ciudad de Lonton, y el imposible legado de su padre de ser un Alfa de la manada. Intentando mantener la calma y agachar la cabeza, Ash también tendrá que ignorar las burlas de deportistas como David Hunt, que le dicen que es un bicho raro sin casta.El único problema con las ideas de Ash de abandonar Lonton es que el hombre del saco y rebelde en general, Kenny O'Rourke, tiene una idea diferente de cómo será el futuro de Ash. Una idea que va a sacudir los cimientos de Dustland. "Los lobos de Dustland" es una obra de Claire Wilkins, autora de eGlobal Creative Publishing.

"Our heart beats only with their permission." For as long as she can remember, the bookworm Synecdoche Rochet, 23, has lived a simple life in Maharlika Nation—hiding in the grasses and grains of District G to avoid the terrifying power of the Embassy and its ruthless Ambassador. In a dytopian world that is controlled and opressed, Synecdoche Rochet embarks on a mission to get back their rights on their district's valuable resources—the grains. When she discovered her intellectual ability, she found herself drawn to the charismatic Giovanni, the long-lost Ambassador's previleged son together with other intelligent students, Ulap, Token and Keithwarth. They found themselves being the tributes on the 2nd Maharlika Spelling TwistBee—trapped in the Word Arena. An annually commemorated survival game where each district will represent 1 letter in the Alphabet, spell the given English words not verbally, but by brutal killings of other competitors who have letter tattoos on their arms. The rules are to Spell and Kill. Within the killer's reach, the team-up of Synecdoche, Giovanni, Ulap, Token and Keithwarth isn't a coincidence, it's a conspiracy. What if Synecdoche's age will be reversed? Will they use their intelligence for vengeance? Will they compel love and trust to survive the battle royale? Is their life the price or the prize? "Even the shortest word has the longest meaning. Spell the words and kill with swords!"
