This second novel by Shelby Bergeron takes us deeper into the world of The Society. The Broken picks up where The Society left off with the characters facing new challenges as they navigate a world where the lines between humans and creatures of the animal world are blurred.

What happens when your twin from an alternate universe tries to influence your life in your own dimension? What if animals were secretly plotting to take over the world? What type of bloody battles would take place when droids and humans share the planet....and go to war to gain control? These are just a couple of questions addressed in the short stories of ALTERNATE. The six young authors who contributed the short stories that make up ALTERNATE imagined what our reality could be if technology and scientific development move forward without passing through the filter of "We can - but should we?"

Being different from everyone else is hard. It is even harder for Luna, who lives in an isolated society that is different from human civilization as we all know it. When Luna meets Peyton who invites her to come with him in the outside world, she does not hesitate to go along with him. However, who we are is hard to escape and this is especially true for Luna who finds it impossible to escape her past. Casted out by her people and not quite fitting in with anyone else she attemts to live a normal life but her roots come back to haunt her, changing her life forever.
