"I'm a terrible dancer," I whisper. "And I guess the cowboy is much better than the city girl." My sarcasm is purely intended, and when he smiles heat courses through me. "The minute you start thinking is when you step on your partner's foot, Ms. Jones. Allow me to guide you, and show you what cowboys can do to city girls," he tells me softly, taking my hand about his shoulder, holding me securely.

(Book One of the Warrior's Advent Series) Her mother told her stories when she was a child. Stories of humans with powers of destruction unlike their world had ever seen...and that they would stop at nothing to control everything. Khione Yikova never believed her mother's tales. They always seemed inconceivable. But that was years ago. Now, taking matters into her own hands, Khione sets off to find a seer, a woman who knows all. Though, what she tells her is not what is expected. A war, a price to pay, countless secrets, and Khione's whole future splayed out in front of her. When the world freezes over, she will rule. That is her prophecy.

It's 2075 and Earth is quickly disintegrating. There are less than three years of inhabitable air left for both humans and Sciusians, refugee aliens. Officials are quickly unveiling their evacuation process called the "dyeing process". Because the dyeing process can't evacuate everyone, earning a dyeing spot becomes like winning a lottery. Sciusians and humans are allowed to have relationships, though, hybrid offspring were thought to be impossible....until now. A handful of these hybrids are relocated to a Sciusian owned island, where they are told they can earn a dyeing spot by performing, although it's unclear what that really means. Aya Thrasher is a seventeen-year-old from a broken home in a poverty-ridden suburb of what used to be Boston. She's creative but very self-conscious. After being relocated, she must deal with the pressure the performance brings. To top it off, she's caught between two potential love interests, brave but slightly geeky, Brennan, and wealthy and gorgeous, Trevor. Aya must also come to terms with her newly endowed gift - her dreams. Rayne Marovic is almost eighteen and comes from a small town, which she absolutely loathes. After a botched robbery, she serves a stint in prison, until she also ends up relocating to the island. Rayne is a hothead who must learn to deal with her temper, especially when she starts to discover her telekinetic abilities. Aya, Rayne, and the other hybrids must band together to defeat an insidious threat and learn the true meaning of the performance. - - - - - - EDITING - - - - - -

"You know, what I really crave for at the moment?" I whispered with a smoky tone, leaning closer to his non-existent face. "Your death..." My tone became quieter as I jabbed the knife into his torso, repeatedly. The dark reddish blood was flowing out of him like the river; he was falling to the floor, still bleeding. I was standing there and couldn't read my own emotions. Was I relieved? I can't be relieved though, I just killed someone. . . . For her entire Iife--or what she remembers of it--she's been afraid of what she could become. Gifted with a murder for a mother, she's always thought herself cursed with an innate bloodlust. With a missing past and a questionable future, she fights to not only keep the allies she has but to keep the last shred of sanity that clings to her consciousness. Of course, doing so becomes even harder to do when mysterious things start to surround her. A man in her mind. A girl out for her blood. And a woman seemingly back from the dead. Will Daisy be able to discern the truth that had been hidden from her for the past seven years? Or will everything become too much to handle?
