"It is your choice," he said, stepping so close to me that our lips were almost touching. "Either do what I say - or get another job."

The Fly Boys are an elite group of males chosen each year from the top military school's senior class. They tend to be the best looking and most athletic boys in school, but that is not why they are chosen. They are chosen because they achieved the highest scores in the Arcane Simulator. Once chosen, the eight Fly Boys are allowed one week to choose a female partner to accompany them to Special Ops, where they will continue their Arcane training. Luckily for River, she doesn't have to worry about the overly sexist selection process. She is new to Braxton Hall, so nobody knows her. She is also younger than the rest of the seniors, having skipped two grades, an achievement almost unheard of at the elite military academy. In a time when the deadly X Virus has wiped out more than half the world's population, three quarters of which were females, the Fly Boys will be trained to protect the Northern Region and it's new number one commodity - the precious few remaining females.

(COMPLETED) Prince Isaac is in for more than he bargained for when he sets sail aboard the Ocean's Doom with his knights on a quest to find the legendary sword of Alexander. He has to retrieve the sword and somehow wield its ancient power to defeat the unknown threat to his kingdom - and use it to release the annoying dragon spirit, named Osyren, that constantly invades his thoughts. Pirates, sea monsters and dragons are the least of his worries when he has to deal with Osyren's remarks that only he can hear, and his growing feelings for the eccentric yet suspicious Captain Callista Morgan, the first woman to command a ship, on this swashbuckling adventure. Isaac learns that he has a lot of choices to make, most of which would cost him more than he'd care to give up. *(Sequel To 'RED HOOD') Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you enjoy this adventure. ***COVER CREDITS GO TO @astounded***
