An escaped military-grade human experiment, Nox is running from men determined to keep him a secret. Critically wounded and loosing fuel, he makes one last, desperate move, and crashes into Cress Montgomercy's farm truck. Cress has her own mountains to climb trying to keep her family together, and at first she thinks having a Mech around might save the farm - until the men who are hunting him show up. In the life-or-death race that follows, Cress, her brothers, and Nox must learn to trust each other if they are going to survive the brutal journey over the mountains to the protection of the rebel forces on the border of the Coalition Colonial Region. But with the threat of war blossoming in the Colonies behind them, mercenaries on their trail, and an uncertain future in the rugged Illyrian settlements ahead of them, will they find safety, or will they be swept up by the battle Nox was designed for?

At the center of the storm is the Lady Penitent, Holland Cea Trădată, a former servant of the demon lords now caught between a love she can never have and the echoes of an ancient prophecy.

The year is 1879. When thirteen-year-old Ruth Merritt Holbrook emerges from her family's burning estate, bloody and charred, but entirely numb--She makes headlines. Reporters believe she is deranged. They accuse her of having set the fire. All the headlines read: "UNSUSPECTING FAMILY SLAIN BY DERANGED DAUGHTER." Everyone believes it. How else could a highbred girl exit a burning building, injured yet senseless? Why did she not scream or cry? The police tell her she is a killer. The doctors tell her she is mad. The nuns at St. Agatha's tell her she is possessed. Perhaps, Ruth Merritt Holbrook is all of those things-or perhaps she is much more. Mysterious and Paranormal. Romance. More than meets the eye. ******* Sgt. Barton Rucklesbee September 13, 1882 The following is an account sent to our office on the first of this month. The whereabouts of those listed in this document are currently unknown. Case Notes: Personally, I don't believe a word of this. It seems like a child's story to me. Best not to be taken too seriously. Read at your own folly as it is quite the elaborate tale and you may find yourself wasting the entirety of a day on it. Sgt. Barton Rucklesbee ******* Senseless: The Unnatural Case Of Miss Merritt Holbrook ******* Author's note: This is a novel I wrote for my undergraduate thesis. I studied the Victorian era/ genre and wrote a novel in the styles of "Dracula" and Leanna Renee Hieber's "Darker Still." There are a lot of sections but they are all fairly short. Also, it may not be perfectly edited. To the wonderful grammar wizards out there, don't worry about it. Just sit back and enjoy the story and characters, I'll deal with the grammar later. Thanks for reading! Enjoy. :) First Posted: August 31, 2018 {On the Wattpad featured list 9/20/18}
