What if someone gave you a code and told you to use it to save the world?

For seventeen-year-old Jeremy, the world has been an unforgiving place. His father was killed by bounty hunters, his mother is dying of a deadly virus sweeping the Outskirts, and he is surrounded by people who have been abandoned by a broken system from the six cities that decide everyone's fate.

After his home is burnt down, his mother is kidnapped leaving Jeremy alone with a code and no way of knowing how this code will save the world.

Kale Stone is a tale of action, adventure, power, and corruption, with just a dash of romance. All the twists and turns Kayla Hicks throws at you will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Kayla Hicks is employed as a preschool teacher, but ever since childhood, she's had an interest in writing. In a dream, she saw a vision of a young man receiving a code that helps him save the world. She couldn't get this idea out of her head, so she started to write down his story, which became Kale Stone: An Outliers Tale. Hicks and her husband, Kevin, live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with their two pets, Max and Melody.
