Have you ever wondered if you are crazy? What if everyone else in the entire town thought you were? What if there was only one way to prove your sanity, but it meant your guaranteed death? Would you still spill your secrets? In 1727 Bermuda there was a fine line between the crazies, the drunks, the zealots, the pirates, the witches and... everyone else. Susannah and Benjamin Bowen have always lived quiet lives as outcasts on the other side of the island from the townsfolk, but they are about to be thrown into the spotlight, caught in a whirlwind of jealousy, revenge, and magic.

***CURRENTLY SEEKING REPRESENTATION*** (Comments and questions welcomed) Alexander Briggs lived much of his young life migrating from town to town, living off of the spoils of his untamed special ability, when one night his nomadic life is changed by one wrong choice that winds up landing him in a jam. Finding himself on the wrong end of an interrogating table, Alex agrees to join a secret society. A society, tightly woven throughout all of history and time. A society that promises to answer the questions he has about his past, and to help him hone in on his abilities in Gravitokinesis (the ability to manipulate gravity). They even tell him he'd be able to travel through time. But is this society really looking out for his best interests? Are they actually telling him the whole truth? Is it possible that they are harboring vital information of his 'dead' father's whereabouts? And could it be, that his ties to the dark secrets of the society are actually deeper than he could have ever imagined? The deeper Alex digs, the more lies and corruption he uncovers residing within the society he has vowed to be a part of. As Alex nears the truth, the more enemies he seems to uncover and the more danger he begins to elicit for those closest to him. Though not your typical sixteen-year-old boy, Alex must deal with the contemporary feelings shared by many of his peers like the desire to belong somewhere, making friends, and dealing with love found and love lost. Catch is, Alex must do this while navigating the fine line of blind obedience to authority and seeking out the truth.
