How did we get here? That's the question that drives each friend, each foe, and every strand of the stories woven together in Born in Syn. From an eerily intelligent infant, to individuals wrongly accused or imprisoned, to insiders who know things they wish they didn't and outsiders determined to bulldoze their way into the action, dozens of small decisions and huge risks pile on top of one another, contributing to the creation of a future that will change everything. War. Ambition. Family. Betrayal. As every character hurtles us ever-faster forward, one truth becomes inescapable: Even the end of the world was once the beginning of someone's story.

Kander, Beth

In the not-so-distant future, two sisters must navigate a world that is unraveling due to climate change. Wildfires blot out the sky, coastlines are being washed away by rising seas, and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch has been geo-engineered into an actual island called Blue Mar. When Laurel and Paloma visit their Great-Aunt in El Salvador, they find that things are far worse than in the U.S., so bad that many people are moving to Blue Mar to start a new life. As they search for their identity and their place in the world, Laurel and Paloma must decide whether to go to Blue Mar themselves, or whether to stay, reconnect with their culture, and fight to save the land of their ancestors.

Syn & Salvation (Original Syn Trilogy, 3)

On a far future world untouched by human presence for almost five hundred years,&nbsp;a young woman pilot crashes into a forest. Nothing in her life has prepared her for this moment, except a training session that neither she nor her peers took seriously. Forced from her comfortable shell, moving through the dark forest night toward rescue, she confronts the realities of her current moment and the complexities of the revolution that shaped the world she knows. Unknown to her, she is pursued by a creature from that same past she helped undo, a species mistreated by the former world, now regaining much of its lost territory. In that previous world, almost completely wiped away now by the work of herself and generations of others, the voices and needs of nonhuman entities went unheeded. In the darkness of the forest she may well learn a lesson in perspective, in viewing the world through other eyes--the eyes and senses of the nonhuman. Nearing the end of her journey, close to rescue, she realizes something follows her. Fearful, all her ethics, everything she believes in, are suddenly on the line and she finds herself tested in a way in a way she never expected. The larger world of her concerns compresses to a pair of eyes and she must decide: in this moment of two worlds meeting, will she choose the path of self-preservation, or if necessary will she sacrifice herself for the greater good?
