Book 1 of The Progressive Trilogy Emma Beauxmont's entire life was focused around MMA. Her father, owning his own MMA gym, started her training from the moment she could walk. Being strong was something she prided herself in. Unfortunately for Emma, her definition of strong was altered drastically after surviving a sadistic man's version of fun that left her utterly destroyed. The thick jagged scars that cover her body, not to mention the name Jax that was branded across her back, serve as a constant reminder of that horrible week, making it impossible to forget. Now living in a new town with her Aunt Karen and attending a new school, Emma must keep her demons locked away or risk succumbing to their torture. Doing her best to keep herself protected against her demons, she tries to steer clear of the strange students that immediately stick to her like glue and follow Dr. Burns' orders. Between avoiding the strange townspeople and working out at The Cage, Emma can barely hold it together, then the pain starts, complicating her life even further. Her body begins to go through random bouts of severe pain, and the only people that seem to know what's happening to her are the very people she's been trying to avoid. "Weakness gives them pleasure, weakness gets you killed, emotions are weakness." ~Emma Claire Beauxmont *UNEDITED* Labeled Mature for violence, gore, and foul language. Cover by: @Kirby-Marcelle

Suddenly, Alliss lands on Earth, the world of mortals. Confused, he watches a continuous stream of humans pass by on busy city streets. With no memories, Alliss has to find answers to the endless flow of questions in his mind. What are demons, really? Where did he come from to end up on earth? Unfortunately for Alliss, he won't exactly be able to explore these questions in peace. The university he attends seems to be some sort of safe haven; unassuming people who carelessly believe Alliss is what he appears to be - human. Alliss' identity is thrown into question when brutal murders start occurring nearby, and in neighbouring towns, and high-risk contagious disease samples are stolen from the university labs. But when he can't remember anything from his past, what can a wolf in sheep's clothing do? [Best rank in Paranormal genre #363 06/05/15]
