Alone for a millennium, since a human murdered her beloved consort,
Ashra, the immortal icrathari queen, rules over Aeternae Noctis,
the domed city of eternal night. Her loneliness appears to be at an
end when her consort's soul is reborn in a human, Jaden Hunter, but
their reunion will not be easy. Icrathari are born, not made. If
Ashra infuses Jaden with her immortal blood, he will be a vampire,
a lesser creature of the night, a blood-drinker rather than a
soul-drinker. Furthermore, Jaden is sworn to protect his
half-sister, five-year-old Khiarra. She is the child of prophecy,
destined to end the eternal night and the dominion of the Night
Terrors-the icrathari and the vampires. As Ashra struggles to
sustain her crumbling kingdom in the face of enemies without and
treachery within, Jaden fights to defend his sister and unravel a
greater mystery: what is the city of eternal night, and how did it
come to be?
An alpha empath, Danyael Sabre has survived abominations and super
soldiers, terrorists and assassins, but he cannot survive his
failing body. He wants only to live out his final days in peace,
but life and the woman he loves, the assassin Zara Itani, have
other plans for him. Galahad, the perfect human being created by
Pioneer Labs, is branded an international threat, and Danyael is
appointed his jury, judge, and executioner. Danyael alone believes
that Galahad can be the salvation that the world needs, but is the
empath blinded by the fact that Galahad shares his genes, and the
hope that there is something of him in Galahad? In a desperate race
against time and his own dying body, Danyael struggles to find
fragments of good in the perfect human being, and comes to the
wrenching realization that his greatest battle will be a battle for
the heart of the man who hates him.
Jem Moran has a reputation to prove and a secret to protect. The
prestigious world simulation program seems the answer to both her
problems, but only if she can succeed in spite of her partner, Kir
Davos, and the uncooperative human beings who populate her planet.
From the Great Extinction to the Renaissance, from world wars to
intergalactic treaties, Jem's conflict with Kir will shape Earth's
history, and their opposing management styles will either save or
doom our planet. Either way, you finally have someone to blame for
the shape our world is in.
When you choose your friends, you also choose your enemies.
Seventeen-year old Dee wants nothing more than to help her twin
brother, Dum, break free from the trauma in their childhood and
speak again, but the only person who can help Dum is the alpha
empath, Danyael Sabre, whom the U.S. government considers a
terrorist and traitor. The search for Danyael will lead Dee and Dum
from the sheltered protection of the Mutant Affairs Council and
into the violent, gang-controlled heart of Anacostia. Ensnared by
Danyael's complicated network of friends and enemies, Dee makes her
stand in a political and social war that she is ill equipped to
fight. What can one human, armed only with her wits and pepper
spray, do against the super-powered mutants who dominate the
Genetic Revolution? America, nevertheless, is ripe for change.
Exhausted by decades of belligerence between humans and their
genetic derivatives, the clones, in vitros, and mutants, society is
on the verge of falling apart or growing up. Which path will it
choose, and can a mere human, her sassy attitude and smart mouth
notwithstanding, light the way to a better future? In her quest to
help her brother become normal, Dee will learn what it means to be
extraordinary. When the silence ends, the celebration of life,
love, joy, and hope will inspire feet to dance and hearts to sing.
