With a gift comes a curse, and for Juliana Marks, her gift was wit and her curse a hell-stricken temper. She was uncontrollable, some would say, following impulsion and doing things only the way she wished. When uprising business tycoon Steven Cast stumbles upon Juliana and demands her to be his or else her family will suffer, Julia follows a headstrong decision and leaves home, not looking back. Upon her eighteenth birthday only a few months after she had left, Julia notices an increase in her fired personality as well as the whispers chanting inaudible secrets in her mind. Trying to keep herself from falling into insanity is difficult, and when a mysterious woman comes along who seems to know more about Julia than even she does, Julia can’t help but ponder what the woman is up to. Before being able to unlock these answers, Juliana finds herself being held captive by the woman and the organization she works with known as Vox. Tests and experiments are administrated daily on Julia, and soon she is introduced to the truth of herself—of what is concealed in her very genetics. Juliana’s questions and demand for answers only grows further when a reckless boy comes to her rescue and vanishes once she is free. Who is he? And better yet…how was he able to make an impossible rescue? Julia continues her search for answers, the reality around her becoming darker and more dangerous as she digs into holes that have been buried for centuries. With the help and hindering of two brothers who seem to have secrets of their own, Juliana and the hidden protectors of our world start to unravel a sick plot that is bent towards the end of the world as it’s come to be known and the introduction of the cryptic. -Book 1 of the Cryptic Series-
