Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness engineered right into their DNA." - William Shakespeare, 1602 (adapted for BioPlus) Astrid Oxford is not normal. Two hundred years into the future, society is recovering from global collapse, and genetic modification has saved the remaining population from a hunger crisis. The alteration of human DNA has been illegal since the technology was developed, but in the heart of New London, a sinister trend has emerged among society's elite. Designer children have been the city's best-kept secret for years, but strange side effects are now appearing as they hit adolescence. When a freak suicide forces modification into the public eye, eighteen-year-old Astrid is about to learn how difficult it is to stay under the radar when you really were born to stand out.

When sudden and lethal attacks with Silver Sun marks start littering around the upper class sectors action must be taken swiftly. The chaos quickly climbs on both sides and tensions within sectors reaches its boiling point. But the game all changes when Scorpion discovers that the Emperor of the Silver Sun has a daughter. This girl is impulsive and illusive. Nothing of the pampered royalty that was first suspected. With different agendas and impossible backgrounds, the pair are quickly caught between wanting to kill one another and build something much more in the farthest depths of Merridian...

"Between you and me, I specifically requested to be in Mrs. Woods' class," Zac said, slightly louder so Dream could hear him. "What?! Why would you do that?" "To investigate," Zac admitted. "Investigate what?" "It's a horrible thing," Zac said, beginning to speak in a softer voice again. "But I have a hunch that Mrs. Woods..." "What?" Dream said. "...Is a kidnapper..." --- Fifteen year old Dream Cadison has never lived in one place for long. So, when she moved to Brooklyn, New York with her dad for her sophomore year of high school, there was no reason for her to think things would be any different. But, against her will, she is almost immediately sucked into a complex mystery involving a psychopathic teacher who has committed unspeakable crimes. Although Dream initially wanted nothing to do with the whole thing, and tried to get through the school year as normally as she could, her participation in the mystery quickly became inevitable as she was thrown into a whirlwind of discovery after discovery, prompting her to join in on the investigation. A few months and a group of new friends as well as new enemies later, the clock is ticking, and Dream realizes that not everyone is as they seem. Will she be able to find out what is truly going on with Mrs. Woods? And will she be able to stop her teacher from doing more harm before it's too late? From kidnappings and lawsuits, to injuries and near-death experiences, there is only one thing everyone knows for certain: Dream and her friends will either succeed, or die trying. --- Cover made by @IceBlueShadows
