She doesn't belong in this world. Kendra wakes in a place that feels almost real, almost safe, and entirely wrong. The air hums with something she can't name. The people watch too closely. And the forest is hiding something that hasn't decided whether she's prey or threat. She adapts quickly. She always does. Control. Distance. Observation. Until him. Ban doesn't just notice her. He reads her. Matches her. Pushes where no one else dares, closing distance she's spent a lifetime maintaining. And the closer he gets, the more something beneath her skin begins to respond. Not chaos. Not fear. Something older. Something waking. When the world itself starts watching them back, it becomes clear this isn't coincidence. It's connection. And whatever has found her isn't just observing anymore. It's waiting. And Kendra has never been good at standing still.

"You may call me S, I believe you are expecting me..." A strong and powerful assassin hunter hybrid with a few hundred years under her belt to have gained enough life experience. But what if she wasn't always been this way? What if she came from a different time and place? What if her dark and cruel childhood made her this way? Serena must first survive and become a strong killing machine, gaining powerful enemies and trustworthy allies. She has fought many battles throughout time, as well as difficult battles within herself. But she must learn more about herself and what she is capable of, she must follow her destiny, no matter where it may take her or what it may mean. Perhaps life has more to teach her still. © A. G.

Amberly Meadow thought the worst was behind her. After years of loss, struggle, and survival, life had finally begun to soften into something she could bear. Something steady. Something safe enough to believe in. Until the dreams began. At first, they came as fragments. A whisper. A feeling. A place she had never known, yet somehow recognised. But they did not fade with waking. They followed her. Seeping into quiet moments, into the spaces between breaths, into the edges of a reality that no longer feels entirely her own. There is something calling to her. Not memory, nor imagination, something deeper. Something that feels as though it has always been there, waiting patiently beneath the surface of everything she thought she understood. As the boundary between this world and something beyond it begins to thin, Amberly is drawn towards a truth she cannot yet name. One that reaches into her past, into her loss, and into the very core of who she is. Because some things are not meant to be left behind. Some bonds do not end. And some callings are not given; they are remembered. © A. G. McDowell, 2026. All rights reserved.

Nyah Greene has a normal life just as any other 24 year old, filled with hard work and a bright future ahead. But what happens when her past, that she hasn't given much attention to, rears its head and comes back into her life with more, presenting more questions that answers. "Then the recognition hits me like a cold splash of water to the face, I've seen this before; this scene that has unfolded before me is what I have been having dreams about for the past couple of months and now it's right here in front of my very eyes. Some unknown force and pure curiosity itself push me to put on shoes and move out into the garden to investigate." © A. G. McDowell, 2026. All rights reserved. *Front cover from awakening-healing.com*
