Description
Duty
knows no family. Love has no price. Secrets can cost you everything.
Twenty-year-old Sanaa Griffin is about to get more than she bargained for when
she wishes for love, happiness, and excitement on New Year’s Eve. Ripped
from the job she always loved, she is reassigned to work for mysterious
Mark Sakai and spy on the corrupt leaders of her city. War looms on the
horizon, and Sanaa must help Sakai determine the key players and their
weak spots before it’s too late.
Mark Sakai has many plans for Sanaa that will take her into a web of lies and
danger, and her only protection is to learn to defend herself. But defense
training under the watchful eye of Jiro, a strong and enigmatic young man
she has a crush on, was not what she expected. Between falling in love
with Jiro and the information she is gathering, Sanaa realizes Sakai is
holding back secrets about her family and her deceased parents, secrets as to
why she was chosen for this job, and learning the truth puts all of
humanity in jeopardy.
REMOVED is the first book in a captivating post-apocalyptic series that
harnesses the cultures and traditions of Japan and sweeps them into the
future between Earth and a faraway land.

Advance Praise
"This book is a gem among all the westernized science fiction books out there. “ - Dre, SPORADIC READS
"The author really made the world come alive, both through detailing the post-apocalyptic elements and the Japanese traditions and influences that shape much of the society and world. The romance is done really well and Sanaa and Jiro are so perfect together!” - Lola, LOLA’S REVIEWS
"The book is written like a seasoned pro, mixing so many wonderful elements of style, that I had expected this to be a published author with more books for me to consume… This book deals with these tough questions, and a great deal more, without passing judgment or standing on a soapbox. Despite being a thousand years from now in a society on the brink of extinction, Pajonas' presents these themes in a way that feels close to home and not far out of reach. I think these binding threads between past, present and a possible, plausible future are what makes this debut work something very special.” - C.E. Kilgore, TRACING THE STARS
"The plotline of this book was fantastic but I can’t really go into why without giving away too much. Expect surprises and twists that you would never be able to guess at the beginning… I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to read book 2.” Laura Carter, BOOKISH TREASURES
