Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.

It is 3988 AD. In a distant solar system known as Ultraya, there is a peaceful society where cybernetic beings known as 'Wyperians' reside. One of the reasons why peace has been upheld for centuries is the existence of Angels. Anyone at all can become an Angel, all they have to do is be a genuine, kind, and loving person. Angels earn the ability to fly on their own pair of majestic feathered wings, and gain magical powers that develop from how they earned said powers. Were you a fireman that put in countless hours rescuing fellow creatures from the dangers of flames? You may become an Angel of Water, with the ability to generate the aquatic element from your bare hands. However, one day something changed, shattering this innocent society. The requirements for obtaining the coveted Angel-Rank became corrupted. In the unprecedented event now known as 'The Ruling Change', Angel powers now were earned through destruction, killing, and negative acts. Are you a terrorist that used explosives to blow up city buildings in order to kill as many civilians as possible with little effort? Unlock the abilities of an Angel of Fire and devastate the land in a field of flames! But what if two Angels cross paths? The heroic fireman, the Angel of Water, vs the evil terrorist, the Angel of Fire? Will the fireman extinguish the terrorist's flames in the name of justice or does he just want the kill to further develop his own Angelic powers? War broke out but one day, a corrupt Angel had an idea. The ability to become an Angel was exclusive to the residents of Ultraya but what about other solar systems? What about Sol, the home to a weak race known as Humans? As Humanity was getting ready to celebrate its journey into the forty-first century, they were invaded by Wyperians; the good Angels followed surely after and the war continued, this time with Humans caught in the middle.
