It's the year 2008, and sixteen-year-old Royce Fontaine is looking forward to a long summer vacation alone with his siblings. If by 'looking forward' you mean 'totally dreading', that is.

Their island is abandoned, and abandoned islands tend to be boring. Three months of boredom tend to make siblings fight, if for no other reason than to have something to do. So when things get weird and his father offers up a prospective vacation -- a real one, off the island and without the odious presence of his older brother -- Royce finds himself thrilled at the possibilities. New places, new people who don't know him as the pathetic geek that he is, maybe even a summer fling, provided he manages to find a way to get girls to notice him. It seems as if he can't lose. 

But then his father asks for his help carrying the load in the household, and he finds himself unexpectedly dealing with some consequences -- not of his own actions, but of his father's. Cast adrift in the multiverse, it falls to Royce to protect his younger sister in a fight for survival with nothing but his wits and a broken compass.

G.U.A.R.D. Book #1: Clandestine by RobynAster

"I had imagined all sorts of things they do on those business trips. Gambling with the wrong kind of people. Planning a big robbery. Maybe repaying a debt they got into before we were born. The worst scenario was the murders they committed." ---- For as long as Ally could remember, her parents left every December for a business trip, and when they returned, they never revealed why or where they went. Unlike her brother Dustin, Ally is too scared to try to figure out what's going on, so she lives her life as normally as possible: hanging out with friends, crushing on boys, and moaning through school. That is, until her parents decide to leave at the beginning of summer... seven months early. Now Ally has a pretty big problem. Because she just found out that not only does one of her best friends have a huge secret, but there are gunmen out to take off her head. [NOTE:: Second book is called "Aberrations." Third book is called "Recusant." Fourth book is called "Tracked." Fifth and final book is currently in the works.] ---- Hello, new friend of mine!

Brianna Acero and the Second One's Return by RaquelS03

One hundred years ago, war threatened the existence of humanity. One man's actions might bring it back. During WWV, battles weren't won with bombs, but with science. Specifically, with DNA. Now, a person's place in society is determined by their genetic code. If your Gift is as mundane as knowing what time it is without needing a watch, you're probably a Norm, but if it's so extraordinary that it's considered a danger to the public, congratulations, you're an Elite. Seventeen-year-old Brianna Acero doesn't fall into either category. She is the only girl in the world who has no Gift at all. When life throws her a curveball and Brianna finds herself living among the Elites, she begins to uncover layers upon layers of secrets about her own past, but there is one secret that was not meant to be unlocked. Now, there is no way of putting it back in its cage. The Second One is back, and this time he won't be so forgiving. His actions could bring about a new world war, and the end of Gifted society along with it. Only Brianna is unique enough to stop him, but will she rise to the challenge? Revenge is a dangerous game, and not everyone is ready to play it.
