Background: Aliens arrived on Earth from a planet in the Andromeda Galaxy. There were about 11,400 of them, including children, and they came in peace and intended to negotiate trade, but humans decided to hunt them down and experiment on them. They managed to capture about 160 before the aliens realized what was going on and began trying to escape. About 5,600 or so escaped before the humans began fighting back. The aliens, who were flexible pacifists, hadn't equipped many weapons, and the ones they did have, they didn't know how to use very well. They were soon overwhelmed, and about 700 aliens died either directly from being killed or died of fatal injury. Thankfully for the aliens, their immune systems were similar enough to that of humans and adaptive enough that they were able to quickly adapt to human diseases. Only about 1,300 or so died from sickness, which, considering how many Native Americans died from European diseases, is excellent. The humans managed to use alien DNA (aliens have DNA) to make an army of hybrid soldiers. This killed the aliens they captured, so the various governments put out laws saying any aliens must be turned in or those found harboring them would face the consequences. By now 3,400+ aliens have been turned in. If you've been doing the math, there's about 240 or less aliens on Earth. Haden is an alien who managed to avoid capture. Steven is an average human whose life is about to change. When they meet, they'll form a friendship that surpass species. Will they stay together against all odds and maybe even fall in love? Ahaha, who are we kidding this is a gay love story and we all know it. If you don't like it, don't read it, m'kay? This is my first original story so leave comments and don't forget to vote.

That is what eighteen-year-old Hania has been told all her life. For the depths of the sea hide the cruel and magical tidespeople, strange gods and creatures of the water who see human life as nothing more than a game. When they sweep her brother away with them, a new pet for their queen, she knows she has no option but to get him back. And her one hope is Aven, a lonely, imprisoned selkie desperate to return home. So she strikes a deal. She will return his skin, and his power with it, and in exchange Aven will take her to the Realm of Tides. But once there Hania finds a world unlike any she imagined. A world of beauty and danger, of magic beyond any the old tales could have prepared her for. The longer she finds herself there the more fear of the undersea realm turns to awe-and an uneasy alliance with Aven turns to something far more thrilling and far more damning. But here deadlier creatures than Aven lurk, eager to kill her, claim her, or break her. Her brother's capture is only the beginning of the game. A game of hearts and lives, loyalty and cunning. And to save them all she must be willing to play it and win-or die trying. ** Buy Tide now at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084TVRC2Z/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0
