For years it has been just my family and I alone in the cabin. Since mama died my two eldest brothers and Papa have morphed into something just short of a monster. My other two siblings and I are triplets, lately we have been drawn. Drawn to the edge of the never ending drop past the cliff face. Mama always said that after the raid and bombs, there was nothing left, that we were the only ones left to trust and any others that are out there are disfigured, hideous animals from the damage from the bombs.
Since mama died we can't help but wonder, can't help but go...and one day we do.
Join Lilly, Kember, and Lyle on their adventure from their old world to the new while they discover the truth odd the world, love, and dangers that their mother and father have been shielding them from. Will they morph into this new world? Or will they return to the ways of their father and elder brothers? Maybe they will find their own path.

Dissolving
****THIS IS A SEQUEL. To be able to follow this story, please read "Unravelling" first**** Lily has started into the new year with a mixture of confusion, curiosity, anticipation - and dread. Ever since her oldest brothers revealed some of the truth about their family's past, the 12-year-old soon-to-be-teenager is struggling to come to terms with all the new and partially heart-breaking information. For the first few months of the year, Lily has tried to stay true to her word and not dig any further into their past, at least not until Alex, her guardian, is willing to share more details with the younger kids. However, Lily's patience is slowly running out. So many things are occupying her mind. She is convinced that there is still a lot more to discover about her family, and she is not willing to wait much longer. What is their father's story and can she locate him? How did her sister die? When will she see Finn again? Why is Sean really moving back home? And what is the reason behind her brothers' weirdly secretive behavior? With the help from her friends and some of her siblings, Lily continues her journey of gradually unravelling her family's secrets. Will she be successful? Will the implications of her discoveries slowly dissolve her family or is she able to save these fragile relationships before it is too late? Join Lily once again as she juggles school, friends, family (meetings), the general challenges of growing-up, creepy stalkers, some tragedies and maybe even her first encounter with something akin to a crush in these rather eventful months of her life.Complete
The Silent One: Sinners And Saints (Book 3) *Undergoing Editing*
Almost thirteen years had passed, and neither Alice nor Tate had aged a day. Tate asked Alice to help him transition, knowing he would continue to age and eventually die, unlike Alice, due to her having immortal blood running through her veins, since he was only born a warlock and later turned into a hybrid after being attacked by a werewolf named Ty-Ohni. Their blood exchange had also tainted Alice's blood with the lycan curse, making them both a new breed called the Immortals, called tribrids. They passed down similar traits and gifts to their unique twin children, Emma and Ezekiel, some more so than others. In the meantime, Alice's parents, with the help of the only two other remaining Immortals, eradicated Kane's hybrids, leaving only a few known hybrids, which were Anna, Ali, Aiden, and Aiden's twin sister. Alice's parent asked her to join them, but her primary focus was on finding Aiden's twin sister, who was stolen by Sophia and Kane when she was an infant. Alice had begun to lose hope of finding Aiden's twin sister until a recent tip indicated a possible sighting at a carnival on the West Coast. Sophia was seen accompanied by a man and two children. The boy was much younger than the girl, suggesting the girl could be Aiden's twin. Unfortunately, as fate would have it, it appeared Kane was still alive, as he was the man seen with them at the carnival, meaning Alex hadn't succeeded in killing his brother after all, or he did succeed, and Kane found a way to escape his demise. Alice couldn't shake the feeling that there was so much more to this than she knew. Another missing piece of the never-ending puzzle, leaving nothing but many unanswered questions that Alice was determined to unravel. Alice soon realized that this wasn't the end, only the beginning of something far greater, beyond anything they would've imagined. The prophecy that separated Alice from her birth parents at birth was in full swing, and nothing could've prepared her for the truth.Complete

Once upon a time, there was a young boy who experienced constant pain. The only person who truly stayed by his side was Kallie, his sister. She was his everything. His life, his family, his best friend...his world. Then humanity had to take her away and wreck his perfect, peaceful life. As if it was not enough humans were the source of all his pain and suffering he experienced throughout his life, and the reason for all his scars and symbols, they took away the only person he cared about. Well, enough was enough. He tried leaving humanity alone. He tried living a peaceful life away from all the fighting. It was all he wanted; to live a peaceful life with his sister, but humanity would not allow him that. So, if battling was the only thing humans throughout history understood, then he would bring them a war. So now, he has a new goal. Peace treaties are made between humans but they never last. War, however, forces the loser to obey no matter what for however long the winner decides. If humanity-the entire world-only submitted to the strongest then he would dominate them all. Only he would be the strongest, allowing no other person to even come close to his power. He would burn the world down to its very foundation, eradicating everyone who stands in his way, and rebuild it anew. The new world would be transformed into what he could never have. A fair and just world, devoid of all sins, where everyone can live a peaceful life without the constant worry of what could hurt them next. New laws will be placed while the old ones are removed. All evil will be purged from the world. Any who stand in his way will be turned to ash to help build his world. If the world wanted him to be evil so badly...then he would be a malicious tyrant that rules not with an iron fist, but a diamond one. Of course, there will be many who will fight back. However, there is only one person who even has a chance at winning...and she only cares about her little sunshine.Complete
