Don't be Distracted. Trust the Quest. Kill your Target.

Teleported somewhere against her will - twice - Claire must come to terms with the escalating challenges of a City grappling with the System and the advantages/disadvantages that can provide. Facing a new cast she is wary to trust, new abilities with no time to test them, and an ever-growing sense that the System's influence is getting too strong, Claire must tackle more than just her inner demons if she hopes to have any chance against the rest of her Targets.
Claire only wants to focus on her Quest, but this city will prove that her current strength won't be enough to handle the Targets that come next.
Not yet, at least.

Dive back into Claire's world, a story with a ton of action, abilities, and interesting characters. More than that, though, dive into a world trying to figure out how to navigate the new normal of a System, a world where a young girl isn't sure where she fits in, and a world where bad people get what's coming to them.
Claire is going to kill them all - come read how she does it.

The series

Full series details →

System Orphans is set in a post-apocalypse fantasy & LitRPG world, where each story will follow a different orphan in their altered environment. Claire's story, which will be written over at least three books, is the first in this elegant yet brutal fantasy. With magic, dungeons, and twists you didn't see coming, you're likely to love, or love to hate, this killer teenager.

Read full series description

Claire's story is inspired by movies like 'Red Sparrow' and 'John Wick', while drawing inspiration from LitRPGs such as 'System Apocalypse' by Tao Wong and 'Dungeon Crawler Carl' by Matt Dinniman.

The series is recommended for young adults and older, since it includes excessive language, brutal fights, and a great deal of death. The series will have no sexual or sexualized content.
