Elise Bakuuva wants nothing more than to live an average life, to find acceptance in life and a goal for said life; though for her, a normal life seems nigh impossible. Living among the Dragon Descendants of Vulfax, she finds herself everywhere from belittled to abused by peers and family alike. The majority reject her docile book loving ways which go against their ruthless warrior ways.
Facing daily misery and depression, even physical assault, the path to find herself becomes increasingly difficult and lost to an endless fog. Things grow even more hopeless when new eyes set upon her. The Hive, warriors of Dark Power and Magic, striving to capture the Earth and bring it under their control. The Tribe, an unknown enemy to the supernatural, seeking to find Vulfax.
With enemies of the clan moving every day threatening the few things she clings to, a choice will have to be made. To become a warrior for the sake of what she needs to protect, to let things continue as they may, or to walk away from everything in the hope of a better tomorrow. One thing becomes certain to her though; her past is not the past she believes it is as more and more answers lay themselves bare as the enemies of Vulfax tighten their grips. Diving down further, she will struggle to find what she wants and believes, or she will dig her own grave in the process. The race is on!
Fire. Bullets. Blades. An army of machines bent on his capture, and destroying and killing everyone—and everything— around him.
And Silas thought that his lonely existence sucked before the car crash…at least then, there weren’t Bio-Droids hunting him for sport in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by A.I. and robots.
Silas was a normal teenage kid before the crash. Normal except for his growing apathy with society and the world around him, made worse by a recent tragedy—an accident he is responsible for. There will be no closure or forgiveness. Only an immense, insurmountable guilt he feels he can never confront or escape.
But then, Silas’ life is violently turned upside-down, both literally and figuratively, in a terrifying car accident. Now, his past problems pale in comparison to his current predicament, where somehow, he’s regained consciousness from the crash in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic hell-hole decades into the future, with partial amnesia and a new metal body, designed for battle and equipped with an arm cannon.
Now, he’s on the run from killer droids, and the army of automatons they control. The only way for him to save the remaining population of humanity and recover his memory is to go directly into the heart of the beast, and forcefully assimilate the abilities—called ‘Protocols’—of his most powerful enemies.
