Incipience (\in-ˈsi-pē-ən(t)s), noun: the act or process of bringing or being brought into existence. The meteors came without warning. Hundreds of thousands of them came raining down to the Earth, but they did little damage to the planet itself. It's the people that they brought ruin to. Upon impact, the meteors combusted into this fine powder that saturated the planet in its entirety. Within a few weeks, billions grew weak, millions were sick, and hundreds of thousands were dead. That's when they came. These beings from across the stars, the Inovarians, landed on the UN's front lawn with technology capable of fixing the planet within a few weeks. People around the world celebrated until we realized what their help would cost: us. Follow Charlotte-Amalie, a teenager from the USVI, as she feigns assimilation into Inovarian society and races against the clock. She has a year of experimentation to survive through before having to face an ultimatum: be drafted into the military to fight the Inovarians' war or forced into their breeding program. With the help of a covert rebel sec of the military, Charlotte-Amalie may just be able to beat the clock in time to get her and a few of her fellow Earthlings out before the battle begins. Book 1: Chapters 1-12 (Complete, publishing with New Degree Press Winter 2021) Book 2: Ongoing (Update Hiatus to meet publication deadlines for book 1)

On the planet known as Methoria, people known as Methorians all had the ability to control a single element, be it one of the main elements(Air, Earth, Water, Fire, Mind) or the sub-elements (Metal, Ice, Lightning). They are otherwise, known as elementals. Over half a century ago, there was a war between Darkness and Elementals. The darkness were consisted of shadows, who were unlike normal elementals, and were said to be evils me wanting to wipe out the whole race of elementals. About 500 years ago, a dark and evil shadow, known as The Ruler had been able to control and led the shadows to war. Fortunately, with the help of The Five, five people who were the most powerful of their elements each one with one of the main elements, had been able to conquer The Ruler and sent him to a deep slumber. It is said that The Ruler would awake one day once again, attempting to take over Methoria once again. That would be when a new generation of The Five would take the roles of the previous Five and save the planet from destruction. It has been 500 years since there was a war. All has been peaceful in Methoria for the past half a century... A fourteen year old girl, Ember, has been accepted to Elemental Academy, where students will discover their element and learn how to control them. This would be Ember's first year in Elemental Academy, where she would learn much more about her element, or should it be her elements. *Do note that this book is being rewritten and published as "Vanishing" under my profile!

9/25 PARTS FULLY EDITED • Chapters with a ✓ in the title means they have been edited. I nearly leapt out my skin when I whipped around to face him, his icy blue eyes practically burning into Mike. "Damn, thought you were gone." Glancing towards Mike, I could practically see the terror his eyes; his muscles tensed, body rooted to the spot and unable to move. Now I knew he was telling truth about not knowing of their human form. As much I wanted to take a picture of this rare occasion, the thumps of Freddy's footsteps hammering towards me told me otherwise. ⚠️WARNING⚠️ • SWEARING (lots of it) • VIOLENCE/GORE • (MENTIONS) SELF HARM • SEXUAL ACTS/HARRASMENT GOAL - 100K READS CURRENTLY - 92.1K
