Tristian Alvarez has just returned from the dead, but he can do that. He is what the ancients called a Tangent, humans that had abilities beyond the norm. Tangents exist in many subcategories with various different abilities. Seekers, who can see into the future. Protectors, humans with enhanced physical ability. Tristian is a Descender, who could visit the gates of paradise or the depths of the underworld. There are many others that we don't even know about, but they are out there.

Time control. Love. Adventure. All of these become prominent in 18 year-old Jessea Riley's life when she finds out she's a Human Gear, someone who can control both fate and time. And not only is she a gear, but the Eighth Gear which is supposed to be impossible due to their only being seven everytime before. The life of a gear is not all it's cracked up to be and having to choose between her long time crush who's also a Human Gear and the butler's son, who's a 'Norm' doesn't help. Especially when they seem to have hidden agendas. This is the first book in The Human Gears Series. Thank you and enjoy!
