Book Three in the Project: Perses Series! I have lost everything; I have no family, no friends and even my 'super' powers have been taken from me. Worse still, the girl I love, the girl that won't give me the time of day, is carrying my child. This child will undoubtedly inherit my genetic makeup, which will pretty much guarantee that he or she will be a freak of nature. Just like daddy. I can't even entertain the idea of my being a father. Not because I don't want to be, but because this puts Vanessa's life at risk. Now I have to do everything I can to protect her, even if she can't stand the sight of me and has slammed the proverbial door in my face. Instead of standing beside her, being the father that this child will undoubtedly need, I have to hide in the shadows and protect them both. But without my powers, how much protection can I possibly offer? She doesn't know it, but there are still those out there that know about me; a dark, shadowy presence that will do whatever it takes to control me, to own me. Somehow I have sensed them, even without my abilities, I know they are lurking close by. The only difference is that now, they potentially have the ultimate pawn with which to do so, my unborn child. I have to make a choice, live a normal life free of the Project or give up my freedom to save those I love. Someone had told me once that no one ever leaves the Project, at least not alive anyway. I'm starting to believe that they were right.
