The Dividing: A Dystopian Fantasy Series (The Adamic Trilogy Book 1)
by Devin Downing
Genre: Teen & Young Adult
Adamic is the language of the Gods. When spoken, it has the power to create worlds, to raise the dead, to make man as God. Fortunately, no one has spoken it in thousands of years. The only remnants are the written spells.
The people of Cavernum depend on these spells. They’re etched into the city walls, fending off the feeders — deadly creatures with a thirst for human blood. Yet for the lower class, Cavernum isn’t much safer. Children starve, and illness runs rampant. Only the elite have access to magic, and status must be earned. One’s class is determined by a single competition: The Dividing. Those who excel join the guild of their choice. The rest are sent to the fields, condemned to a life of slave-labor.
Princess Roselyn Malik has trained her entire life for The Dividing. She’s guaranteed a spot in the royal orchestra, but equalist rebels threaten her throne. To secure her crown, Rose must acquire the power and prestige associated with the guard. Only guardsmen have access to the amulets — powerful weapons that grant dominion over the elements.
Meanwhile, in Colorado, Matt will do anything to help his terminally-ill adoptive mother. For now, that means poaching to pay the bills. Until one day, Matt is attacked by a feeder and plunged into the world of Cavernum. There too, Matt is drawn to the guard, in search of a magic strong enough to save his mother.
But danger lurks beyond the walls, and Cavernum won’t be safe for long.

The Surviving: The Adamic Trilogy Book 2
by Devin Downing
Genre: Teen & Young Adult
Matt and Rose are now full-fledged members of the guard, yet their futures have never been bleaker.
Despite Titan’s resurrection spell, Antai is comatose with no signs of waking. The healers have tried everything, and Rose is beginning to lose hope. She needs someone to trust, but the king is more suspicious than ever.
Matt is also growing desperate. His mom is on the brink of death, and he hasn’t even begun to learn how to heal her. He must find a teacher fast or risk losing the only family he has left.
Meanwhile, the Holy One is closer than ever. The laborers speak of his arrival, and they have the evidence to prove it. A string of murders erupts throughout the city, permeating even the palace walls. Nowhere is safe, and it’s only a matter of time before the Holy One unleashes his full power.
Soon, it will be a battle for survival.
