BOOK 1 // Human Error (COMPLETE) BOOK 2 // Human Instinct (IN PROGRESS) *NOW OPTIONED FOR A TV SHOW* "Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness engineered right into their DNA." - William Shakespeare, 1602 (adapted for BioPlus) Astrid Oxford is not normal. Two hundred years into the future, society is recovering from global collapse, and genetic modification has saved the remaining population from a hunger crisis. The alteration of human DNA has been illegal since the technology was developed, but in the heart of New London, a sinister trend has emerged among society's elite. Designer children have been the city's best-kept secret for years, but strange side effects are now appearing as they hit adolescence. When a freak suicide forces modification into the public eye, eighteen-year-old Astrid is about to learn how difficult it is to stay under the radar when you really were born to stand out.

-I did a few random slow-like spins here and there, looking at the beautiful scenery around me. My voice mingled with the strange humming voice, the tune of the woods carrying me away. One step. Another.- ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Orabelle is the new girl in an old town, plucked out of the city and plopped into a small town called Faestrep. It was the place of her childhood visits to her grandparents. Fitting in was always a problem for her, never being able to feel in place. A fresh start, not what she was aiming for but what she got. The woods in this small town is no place for play. It's said that going in could mean never coming out, or never coming out the same. Why? That's the question everyone is afraid to ask. Exactly, what is within that massive land of trees? Fairytales and myths, that's what they should be. Creatures of the imagination. Who are the unwanted strangers that found their way to Orabelle? Orabelle is on a journey, a journey that unmasks who she truly is... or shall I dare say, what she is. Orabelle needs help, and she can't just ask anyone. This is her journey.
