Jax Flink is a computer engineer, to put it simply. His knowledge consists of taking apart computers, putting them back together, and fixing them of any hardware malfunctions. He's  not one for software problems; he'll leave that to his brother, the hacker. But when the leading CEO of technological innovations goes missing, and a virus takes over everything electrical--from street lamps to supercomputers--Jax finds himself surrounded by panicking individuals who are doing nothing to fix the problem. It's up to cool-headed Jax, his hacker brother Thane, and the rich girl next door, Meridian, to find the antivirus and stop the pandemonium that is slowly overtaking the world.

He is tasked to find the one who can stop the stone. But after five decades of trying to find it, he comes up empty handed. Until one fateful night, when he sees a girl breathe life into stone.

Samantha wishes she were someone else. Anastasia, to be exact. Anastasia doesn't sit in the corner and read because she's too shy to talk to anyone. She doesn't keep trying and failing. Anastasia slays dragons. Of course, Anastasia is only a character in Samantha's story. That's what Sam does, she writes. She writes to keep the monsters at bay. She creates new worlds to escape into. And she writes to block out the cranky ramblings of her jilted father, who refuses to acknowledge the woman that ran out on them years ago. But Samantha finds herself thrown into a not so magical adventure when she discovers her long lost mother has been in town all along. She has questions that need answering, and a few arrow- accusations... she'd like to sling. But there are obstacles to storming the castle, her father for one. Either Samantha makes this her happily ever after, or it all ends in tears... Either way, the story is about to change.
