Missing Girls & Lost Boys: A Forbidden Love Dystopian Romance

By H Elliott

Winner of the PASCIFY Sci-Fi Readers' Favourite Award 2026

In Eden, women aren't free.

They're assigned. Claimed. Given away.

For five years, girls are allowed to pretend they have a choice. From sixteen to twenty-one, they live like their lives are their own, until the system decides who they belong to.

Lee has one year left before her future is chosen for her.

One year before her life stops being hers.

She knows the rules.

Comply. Be chosen. Survive.

Because in Eden, submission is safety.

But the guy she's falling for was never meant to see her.

He isn't approved.

He isn't powerful.

And loving him isn't just forbidden.

It's deadly.

In a city where every action is watched, one wrong move could destroy everything. But he's willing to risk it all to give her a way out, even if it means losing her in the process.

Now Lee must decide:

Become what the system demands...

or risk everything for a future she was never meant to have.

Because in Eden, obedience is survival.

Customer Reviews

Your new favorite indie author! Read this book!

I'm so invested in the tale of Everlee Clave set in a dystopian "United State of America". A mix of The Walking Dead (without zombies but think settlements and tribes of different people, danger and found family), Handmaids Tale, 3 Men and a Baby, first love, covert missions, morally grey characters, and hand yearning. I love all the different types of characters we meet along the journey and I'm here chewing my nails and waiting for the next book in what I expect will be an amazing series.
