And fallen angels with dark and powerful forces that will stop at nothing to find the one they seek... Back of the Book A black hooded figure suddenly appeared behind her. She gasped and her brown eyes grew wide. Nathan watched helplessly as a small trickle of blood fell from her mouth. Other hooded figures appeared; their silver swords clutched upright against their chests. Nathan held tight to her lifeless body while trying to fight back the tears that swelled in his eyes. "No," he cried. "No!" Nineteen-year-old Nathan Urye is supposed to be having a relaxing summer as a camp counselor but ever since he started having nightmares about a beautiful girl being hunted by flesh-clawing monsters, his life has been anything but normal.

For Nathan Urye, things just keep getting creepier and creepier, and now it appears that everyone at camp is in danger...

[STORY HAS BEEN REBOOTED] Ivy just burned her boarding school to the ground, but that's the least of her problems. People are chasing her, the government wants to lock her up, and a group called Scorpion wants to recruit her. Ivy quickly learns that she isn't alone in the world. There are other kids like her. Kids with powers. They are known as the Supers, and now it's up to them to stop Scorpion. The fate of the country, and possibly the planet, depends on it. The Supers don't know it yet, but the whole world is about to change. They've become a part of something much bigger than an experiment gone wrong, or a fight for power, or the strange and sinister organizations trying to use the Supers for their own purposes. Something that could be bigger than the universe itself. // Completed Word Count: ~62,000 Cover by me Read more on my website: http://auroranelson.weebly.com/ Watch the trailer here: https://youtu.be/Uze4_QjdyYM Check out the pinterest board: https://www.pinterest.com/auroranelson28/the-supers-experiment/
