Twelve broken souls, connected by dreams far beyond their understanding, wander the ruins of the world in search of a remedy for the voids in their hearts-only to find themselves running into one another too many times to be considered coincidental. Though they're woven from different threads of life, small acts of kindness turn into astonishing sacrifices until a bond tied them together, a bond so precious they learned to share smiles and tears. Especially after all they've gone through not only as fellow mages, but also as best friends. Maybe, just maybe, they're each other's remedies. But questions remain. Questions that spread doubt amongst themselves: what meanings do the dreams and visions hold, and why do they feel so... real? Little did they know their destinies have been written in the stars before they even crossed paths, and their meeting is just the beginning of an unforgettable journey they would've never expected. They, as one, are the key-to countless answers. Answers people would kill for. But there's so much more to it than meets the eye. And the more they read between the lines, the more the lines blur between friend and foe. Once the doomsday clock's first tick resounds, will the universe fall victim to an inevitable demise?

(Book 1 in The Other Worlds Series) ***2016 FCRA's Wondrous Worlds Winner and a Wattpad Featured Story!*** ***A science fiction retelling of Beauty and the Beast*** As Paragon of her planet Terra, Odette understood what her duties included - intergalactic diplomacy, flight and defense training, and the knowledge and understanding of each alien race in the universe, friendly or otherwise. With the rogue tyrant leader of the planet Anur, Comae, threatening a path of destruction, she found herself on assignment to Earth, a planet she had a connection to in the past. Passing as a human girl, her mission was to get close the President of the United States...and she found a way when she met his son. Duke Mitchell was used to the cameras on him at all times, being the son of one of the most powerful men on Earth. With a new girl shaking up his world, he found himself falling head-first, especially with her fascination of random things, like sunsets through the autumn leaves and libraries filled with books. It wasn't until he learned her true identity that he, along with the rest of the world, realized they really weren't alone in the universe. When Earth fell into chaos, Odette and Duke were separated by both space and time - years passing for Duke, changing him into a scarred, beastly man, but only moments for Odette. When her ship was taken down by his forces in the ruins of New York City, Odette was captured and held captive, though friends from her time spent on Earth before made it more bearable. But with a final threat from Comae, promising complete annihilation, she must stand up and defend the planet and the human boy she grew to love...and somehow make Duke Mitchell stop thinking of her as the enemy.
