The Harvest

Remy Alexander wants revolution. After watching Vale fall back into the hands of the Sector, she will stop at nothing to reveal the corruption in Okaria. When she joins a secret Outsider network in the underbelly of the capital city, she must use all her skills as a fighter and an artist to show the people the truth.

Valerian Orlean wants emancipation. When he wakes up in Okaria as a political prisoner and learns what his parents have done to him, he realizes time is running out before millions of people are forever enslaved.

Together, Remy and Vale enlist the help of new friends and old to cut out the rot of unchecked power before the fire at the heart of Okaria grows to an all-consuming blaze. THE HARVEST, the third book in the Seeds trilogy, brings the terrifying truth of the OAC’s MealPak program to light. As injustice spreads throughout the Sector, threatening the freedom of farm workers and laborers in the factory towns, the Resistance must find a way to end the oppressive Orlen administration once and for all.

Kristina Makansi owns and operates Blank Slate Press, a division of Amphorae Publishing Group, operated out of St. Louis, Missouri.

Although she and her husband and fellow writer Jason just moved to Tucson, Arizona, Kristy divides her time between St. Louis and Tucscon and spends most of it with her dog, Layla, and new pups, Ria Sangria and Mojito Mojo, who can be found trotting adorably at her side.

Amira K. Makansi makes wine by day and worlds by night. As a winemaker and full-time writer, she divides her time between working in the cellars at wineries around the world and spinning worlds into existence. In addition to the Seeds trilogy, Amira is hard at work on a story tentatively titled POROUS, a dark psychological story about a girl who can find the paths between worlds – but is being hunted by shadowy beings who threaten to destroy her entire universe.

Elena K. Makansi works as a freelance editor and a cover designer for Blank Slate Communications and is about to embark on an MFA in Illustration & Design. She maintains a Facebook page called F*ck Yeah Vegetables! and spends her spare time drawing, painting, and doing research for a full-fledged cookbook-cum-encyclopedia based on the F*ck Yeah Vegetables! page that will introduce people to the multifarious delights of a plant-based diet. She’s also hard at work on her next work of fiction, featuring food and magical delights, tentatively called LUNA AND THE MIDNIGHT CAFE.
