In a future where society spreads out across the stars and social status is shaped by body modification, orphaned Safia finds simplicity in expanding her family's business into bounty hunting. As one of the few humans in a genetically enhanced world, she's spent her life avoiding the political chaos of the Interplanetary Government and the increasing rebellion of planetary nations. But now her latest contract is destined to bring that all crashing down. In her arrest of Aris Amarelli, Safia soon finds she's bitten off more than she can chew. A boy bred for his genius in biochemistry and less than legal pharmaceuticals, law enforcement is not the only enterprise out for him and his family. His personal attempts at bribery and coercion are the least of her concerns as they become enveloped in interplanetary war. ~cover by the absolutely magical designer @chaosinspace ~

Incipience (\in-ˈsi-pē-ən(t)s), noun: the act or process of bringing or being brought into existence. The meteors came without warning. Hundreds of thousands of them came raining down to the Earth, but they did little damage to the planet itself. It's the people that they brought ruin to. Upon impact, the meteors combusted into this fine powder that saturated the planet in its entirety. Within a few weeks, billions grew weak, millions were sick, and hundreds of thousands were dead. That's when they came. These beings from across the stars, the Inovarians, landed on the UN's front lawn with technology capable of fixing the planet within a few weeks. People around the world celebrated until we realized what their help would cost: us. Follow Charlotte-Amalie, a teenager from the USVI, as she feigns assimilation into Inovarian society and races against the clock. She has a year of experimentation to survive through before having to face an ultimatum: be drafted into the military to fight the Inovarians' war or forced into their breeding program. With the help of a covert rebel sec of the military, Charlotte-Amalie may just be able to beat the clock in time to get her and a few of her fellow Earthlings out before the battle begins. Book 1: Chapters 1-12 (Complete, publishing with New Degree Press Winter 2021) Book 2: Ongoing (Update Hiatus to meet publication deadlines for book 1)
