I had no name. My assignment was M001/A5. Marpesia Project Test One, Fifth Embryo. I wasn't considered human. I was a thing to be owned. I just wanted freedom. I wanted out of the lab and away from being the guinea pig for hundreds of scientists. I wanted to see the world with my eyes not through a computer monitor. Instead I took two bullets, fell from twenty stories and ran to save my life. From who and what I had no idea and that wasn't important at the time. Life was important. I had my freedom but no idea what to do with it. There's no way to out run the past, and I had to face it. There were too many strings loose and too many people that would be more than happy to lock me in a cage again. Life was an evolution of natural selection but thanks to human intervention I was Unnatural. I would be deciding who to allow living, and who needed to die.

Bianca ran from her past with the hope of being forgotten. Instead of living her dreams, she wasted her skills at a famous entertainment hall in Nashville. An offer to wrangle country music's infamous bad boy, Nicholas Walker, proved too good to refuse. However, life on the road presented its own challenges. Walker acted like an overgrown toddler that missed his nap. The band supported her takeover but the massive crew protested answering to a woman. On top of tip toeing around egos, discretion needed to be maintained while feeding Walker's infamous sexual appetite. She never expected Walker to focus his wandering eyes on her. When her past returned fighting Walker didn't seem as vital as keeping him alive. Walking away should be easy, but first they must all make it through unharmed.

My sister was my lifeline, my beacon, my North Star. I could rely on her, depend on her, turn to her when the world was just too hard to face. She could depend on me for the same. I laughed with her; cried with her; rejoiced her success; and part of me died with her too. I lived for her, loved no one greater than her. Without Savannah, I had no one to turn to, no one to share my soul with. My other half, closer than twins we were, was just gone. Grief broke my soul and crushed my heart to dust. I didn't know how to put the pieces back together. I wasn't sure I even want to without her. How could I live knowing she would never share anything with me again? Time, supposedly, heals all wounds. I don't believe that. But I do know there are other ways to heal. I just had to find them.

Being the best comes with consequences. She was the best thief Interpol ever tracked. When a job went wrong she had to make a deal with them to retain her freedom.

He went from being the right hand to the collared dog. When he was tasked with creating ties that could susequentially wipe his debt, will he get out of the frying pan and into the fire? Or will freedom remain unattainable?

Her choice will change the world. She hated the wheelchair. Hated the way it made her feel less than what she was. Most of all she hated not being able to do all the things she used to. Ari had been a track and field star, an archery champion and an Eskrima pro. Now she was confined to a wheelchair slowly dying inside from its restraints. Medical science wasn't working. The tests, the drugs, the therapies were all useless and a waste of time. She was tired of wasting her time; she was tired of failure. It was time to look away from the obvious and try something unconventional. Nothing was ever free and that included miracles. Abruptly, Ari finds herself tangled in a web of lies, questioning everything she's ever known as truth. Never had she believed she'd be thrown headfirst into a world of good and evil, magic and Gods. Trapped in the middle of a war she had never known existed both parties demanded her allegiance. Ari was a catalyst that could change all the rules of the Earth. But when the time comes to make a choice will she be strong enough to know right from wrong? **AN: The book has been re-edited and re-formatted to correct several reported errors.**

She was the strongest of Gaea's Servants. Miera had been trained from childhood to be Faithful always to the Goddess. She had been taught with Faith they would always be protected. She had never wavered from that course. She hadn't counted on the consequences of that choice. As Ariadne's birthday draws closer darkness closes in on Sparta. Monsters, both Tainted and Pure alike, were vying for pieces of their island. Doubt and fear grew like pestilence. Death was unavoidable. Sparta sat on the brink, but of what Miera wasn't certain. There was no record, no precedence for her to consult. There were no living patrons of the Goddess to seek council from. She only had instinct and Faith. If she could not maintain the balance Sparta would fall before Gaea's return. How did the lost lead the people out of darkness?

Being plain and average would be a step up for Sidonie. The book nerd, gamer geek with larger than average jeans doesn't really fit in anywhere. Add a drunk father and a dump in the projects and she's pretty much guaranteed to be a social pariah. There would never be a happily after in her future, unless her books counted. Instead, she has accepted her lot and surrounded herself with friends who genuinely love and support her. Music. Art. Creating. That's what made Sidonie remarkable. As she began to find a chance of happiness in her gifts, dark forces start to impact her future. A magical world she had no idea even existed could alter the course of her life forever-if it didn't cut it short entirely.
