Beyond the Red

'''The ''Beyond the Red'' trilogy''' is a series of young adult dystopian science fiction novels by Gabe Cole Novoa, writing under the pen name Ava Jae. Set on a planet where humans and a humanoid native species are in violent conflict, the books include action, forbidden romance, political intrigue, and queer themes.

''Beyond the Red'' is Novoa's debut novel and was written while he was in college. The story, which follows a half-human who finds himself caught in the middle of two cultures, was informed by Novoa's experiences as a white-passing latinx person. The book was released in 2016 and received critical praise for its worldbuilding. It was followed by the sequels ''Into the Black'' (2017) and ''The Rising Gold'' (2018). Provided by Wikipedia
