Revolution (Book 3 of POE Chronicles)
(This is book 3 of the P.O.E. Chronicles, Read book 1 Evolution and book 2 Selection if you haven't already) I never wanted a war. All I wanted to do was to get things back to the way they were and to keep those I love safe. But it turns out that everything was just an illusion, that the reality I lived in was all but a lie. That world was no place to live, and in order to make a better future, a future that so many have sacrificed so much to try and archive before me, I had to fight. And to do that I needed to find out the truth, no matter what horrors lie beneath it. The web of lies, of secrecy, of betrayal, is spun so far, so fine, so wide that I had been seeing only a corner of it. I didn't know if I have the strength to go on, but I know that if I don't step up, the world as we have known it will end. If you asked her four years ago what she imagined herself doing in the future, Abigail Beckett could safely tell you that it doesn't involve political meetings, living in an ancient castle and seeking advice from a three hundred years old Original. Having discovered her roots, she had inherited the responsibility to make sure the world doesn't end by the terrorist group Apocalypse and make peace among POE and Legres. With the fate of many of her friends still uncertain, she must race against time to uncover the Apocalypse's plan, pacify the government, and tried not to get killed by her grandmother.

Violet String {EDITING}
They called her a demon. They called her the monster of road races. They just didn't know how accurate those names were... *** Genesis never asked for a Gift. She'd rather have been born ungifted, if the choice had been up to her. But it wasn't. Cursed with violet eyes, abandoned at the side of the road as a child before finally being taken in by the church... now she owes them everything, and she's sworn to repay the ones who saved her-from her misery of a life and her own demons too. So when the children she looks after for that same church start disappearing, she knows the time has come. She'll save them even if it means using the so-called Gift she's kept hidden for years. She was ready for the world to find out. She just wasn't ready for him... her mate... because he's got demons of his own, hovering around him... And she's one of them. (Book Three in the Alphas of Blagmoor Series. Can be read as a standalone novel.)Complete
The Halfbreeds of Atlantis (A Novel)
When his fallen comrade's pregnant wife is marked for death, Ibris Mansa, a soldier turned syndicate boss, steps in to protect her. But the child she carries is being hunted for its rare genetic potential. Ibris must uncover the truth before the child is taken and powerful of Atlantis silences them both. *** This story unfolds on the ancient continent of Atlantis, the one of myth and legend. Long before its fall, the civilization is already decaying from within. Nobles flourish, animal human halfbreeds are cast aside as a slave race, and unchecked technology, paired with an A.I. religion, pushes society toward collapse. At the center of it all stands Ibris, a bull halfbreed. Tall, broad-shouldered, and horned, he was engineered to serve Atlantis's elite as a symbol of their religion but chose rebellion instead. Brutal in battle and reckless in his vices, he carries his burdens with raw strength as danger, drink, and a long list of fleeting lovers trail close behind. Now Ibris fights for all genetically engineered halfbreeds, leading a resistance against those who would keep them enslaved as tools of the powerful, while navigating the loss of his own wife and child. "The Halfbreeds of Atlantis" is a science fantasy novel set in The Third World Universe, created by Sunny Ghauri. It is a prequel to dystopian romance novel "The Sky Gods of Atlantis."Complete

At the Twilight of Mankind
In the near future, the world and planet Earth have changed a lot, but not quite as we imagined. Professor Tempéra Akheeli is an artificial birth and genetic engineering specialist whose passion for his research takes him beyond everything he never believed in as a learned man of his time in the early 2080's. "At the Twilight of Mankind" is an atypical original Mystery Science Fiction story to read with a curious and open mind. Dedicated to all those before me who had the courage and the audacity to open the doors of the impossible for themselves and the following generations. Their stories have inspired many beyond the supposed boundaries of human possibilities and imagination. COPYRIGHTS © Beatrice SeverienComplete
