Earth. Our home planet. A tiny blue dot orbiting around our sun at ~67,000 miles per hour. But do you ever wonder, how did we get here? What's our purpose? Are we the only ones out there, floating around space? Questions like these constantly swirl around young Vee's head. She's a girl who just recently became fascinated with astronomy, and she's looking for the answers to the questions science still has yet to answer. But, she can't do it alone.

Fracture - Book One of the Glass Galaxy Trilogy
Book one of the Glass Galaxy Trilogy Almost a century ago the very stars disappeared, leaving space a black void for three long hours, and when they returned, they weren't the same. The galaxy had changed. Old constellations were gone, well-known planets nowhere to be found, and new inter-galactic nations replaced the old. Only a single star system didn't change. Kalani, a now ex-naval officer, has been wandering this new and unfamiliar galaxy for most of his life, searching endlessly for both his fiancé and the solar system they called home, but he has found nothing, and he grows more disheartened with each passing day. He has nothing but himself, his ship, and his companion AI in a galaxy that grows ever more dangerous, and if he doesn't adapt soon, then he will fall prey to the harsh circumstances that have overthrown his life. It's a good thing, then, that he will do anything to find his long-lost love.Complete

But all of this is uprooted when she and her best friend and someone she most definitely wouldn't call a friend, are kidnapped-- and brought to an FBI base. Crystal becomes exposed to the very real threats of Catchers, an ancient, superintelligent species of aliens-- who look perfectly human. As Crystal navigates her training, and the mixed feelings she has for her new life, and two boys in it, questions arise about the, and the strange obsessions these ancient, all-powerful creatures seem to have with special artefacts across the city and...with her.

Alice James ran away for a reason. From him. From them. And she cannot be found. But dangers lurk within the darkened alleys of the bustling city, the very threats she's been trying to run away from-- perhaps even worse...
