Five teenagers, pulled from the rigid halls of Earth's elite space training program known as the Galaxy Garrison, never expect their lives to fracture into legend. Chosen by ancient sentient lions, they are bound to machines of unimaginable power and forged into the living weapon known as Voltron. Thrown into the far reaches of space, they face a war older than humanity itself. The Galra Empire, ruled by the merciless Emperor Zarkon, leaves scorched planets in its wake and has no intention of sparing Earth. Victory demands more than skill or bravery; it requires trust built under fire. As battles test their limits, fractures form, egos clash, and loyalty is questioned in moments where hesitation can mean annihilation. Between training sessions and near-death encounters, quieter moments begin to matter just as much. Glances linger longer than they should, hands brush in the dark of the cockpit, and unspoken feelings grow beneath layers of duty and fear. Each pilot carries wounds from the life they left behind, secrets that threaten to pull them apart when unity matters most. Learning to fight as one means learning to truly see each other, flaws and all. As the war escalates and sacrifices become inevitable, the line between survival and surrender blurs. In a universe determined to break them, their shared bond-steadily deepening, fiercely guarded-may be the only force strong enough to save them all.

Hunter called himself an archaeologist, but he was a modern day treasure hunter. Tiyana was a scientist devoted to her craft. They were passionate people, wholly devoted to their work. Neither of them had time for love. Neither of them could resist it when it happened. Neither of them knew that the world would need the two of them to save it from a tyrannical pre-historic overlord, his cyborg vampire paramour, and their army of mindless drudges. Dawn of the Epoch is an epic science fiction novel about dark matter, death rays, nuclear warfare, and the Large Hadron Collider, but it is also a fantasy novel about medieval warriors, alchemy, and ancient gods. Dawn of the Epoch blends fantasy with reality, bringing mythology to life today. It is also an apocalyptic thriller spanning the globe from the Pyramids of Egypt to the heart of Africa to the majesty of the Himalayas. It is an epic hybrid-genre story with intense action sequences, magic, mythology, suspenseful plot twists, countless obstacles for the protagonists to overcome, and an utterly Machiavellian supernatural villain. Testimonials: "Probably one of my favorite books I've read to date. Brilliantly complex, adoringly rendered and quizzically intense. A must read and one I plan to revisit, and share!" - Amgwatts, Wattpad Reader "This has to be one of the most original and well written novels I have had the pleasure to read, on Wattpad and in general. It was captivating, interesting, immersive and above all, fantastic. I was left in awe of the beings, history and world you created. It was never dull, dry or predicable and it was a nice change from what seems to be the ever popular teen romance with vampires or werewolves or 'bad boys that are actually romantic good boys.' In the end it was a very pleasant surprise." -IridescentLies, Wattpad Reader http://dawnoftheepoch.weebly.com

Camille Settlemeyer's life revolves around two great natural wonders: Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth, and Matt Everest, the boy she's been in love with ever since they met at rock climbing camp five years ago. She might have to wait a few more years before her parents let her fly off to Nepal to scale the world's tallest summit, but this summer Camille's going to hit the road with Matt for one last climbing expedition before they part ways for college. Camille is convinced that a couple days alone with Matt in a beat-up van will make him realize they're destined to be together. What she doesn't account for is Matt bringing along his best friend from climbing camp, Tucker O'Hara, who possess an encyclopedic knowledge of the constellations and a sense of humor drier than the sprawling Arizona desert. Camille doesn't like how much of a know-it-all Tuck is, or how his gorgeous older sister seems to steal every last bit of Matt's attention. But Camille's about to learn that even the best climbers need a compass sometimes. (Commission for Wattpad's promotion of the film "The Best of Me")

Reality doesn't break in my world. Meaning does. And once it starts shifting, nothing can be trusted. Not names, not objects, not even people. He arrived like he had always belonged there. But the strange thing wasn't that no one knew him... it was how no one asked. Except me. And I should have learned from the way the rain stopped when he looked at me. He didn't have a name anyone remembered. No history. No family. No trace of where he came from. Only the light reacted when he arrived. And for some reason, I couldn't stop watching him... even when everything in me said to look away. Some people bring darkness into a town. He brought light.
