Seventeen-year-old Alexander Lopez should've died the night lightning tore through the Los Angeles sky and struck him head-on. Instead, he woke up changed. After surviving the impossible, Alexander begins developing terrifying new abilities-super strength, impossible speed, heightened senses, and bursts of electric energy he can barely control. At first, the powers feel like a curse, turning his life upside down and forcing him to hide the truth from the people he loves. But when violence and corruption begin spreading through the city, Alexander realizes he may have been given these powers for a reason. With the help of his loyal best friend, Mateo Hernandez, and the recruitment of his siblings, Alexander secretly becomes a masked vigilante protecting the streets of Los Angeles. From high-speed chases through neon-lit downtown streets to brutal fights in abandoned warehouses, the city quickly becomes a battlefield. Standing in his way is Gregory Daxon-a ruthless, teenage crime boss with deep pockets, dangerous connections, and an army of violent goons controlling the city from the shadows, and other superpowered menaces. As supervillains tighten their grip on Los Angeles, Alexander finds himself pushed to his limits, discovering that being a hero is far more dangerous than having powers. Because every time Alexander uses his abilities, something inside him grows stronger... and darker. Caught between fame, fear, and the pressure of becoming the symbol the city desperately needs, Alexander must decide what kind of hero he wants to be before Los Angeles tears itself apart. In a city fueled by corruption, power is everything-and lightning may have created the only person capable of fighting back. WARNING ⚠️: Harsh language and violence

Kassi Blake, a ballerina dragged to Mars by her parents, must solve the mystery behind an escalating series of disasters and thwart an ancient guardian spirit to save the colony.**** When seventeen-year-old Kassi Blake's father is chosen by the Joint Space Commission to help terraform the red planet, Kassi gets dragged away with her family to join Mars Colony 1. Mars is a sterile wasteland 33.9 million miles away from home and her dance academy. Heartbroken over sacrificing her ambitions of becoming a prima ballerina for the sake of her father's dream, she has no choice but to make a new life with the limited options available on Mars. She learns the excavation team is accepting applications and takes the opportunity to prove that her physical stamina and grit honed from years of ballet can translate into a new dream - success in one of the most challenging fields Mars offers. Kassi's assigned partner in hunting archaeological treasure is Noah, a former football player and grandson of the habitat's commander. He teases her new friend with the term of endearment, "Goth Girl," he's got a cocky grin that's too cute for his own good (and hers), and she's stuck with him. On their initial dig, they unearth prehistoric cave drawings and pottery emblazoned with a mysterious symbol. When the habitat's hull breaches during a freak sandstorm that vanishes as quickly as it came, Kassi sees that the walls of their compound now bear that same strange symbol. With the colony's commanders in denial that this was something more than a natural disaster, Kassi and Noah team up to unravel the mystery of the symbol and discover who - or what - attacked their new home. The next disaster targets the greenhouse. Then the habitat's oxygen circulation system fails. With dwindling food stores and air supply, Kassi and Noah must confront an ancient force before it wipes out the entire community. 1st Place winner - Science Fiction Category, Winter 2021 Four Seasons Awards.
