A time traveling assassin

a college student in way over his head

Ella lives in a future where love is outlawed and everything is chosen for you. After her parents' assassination, she joins the underground rebellion and becomes an assassin that quickly gains the government's attention. When she realizes the rebellion is becoming useless, she realizes the only way to avenge her parents and guarantee a better world is to stop her world from ever becoming so twisted. The solution? Traveling back to the past to assassinate the person who started it all.

Hugo is a college student majoring in computer science whose only worries seem to be his parents impending divorce. But when his parents cut him off completely, leaving him almost homeless, he takes a random job offered to him. Turns out, he's coding a software for the government. Catch? It could be used as a weapon of mass destruction. In desperate need of money, he has to fight his morals and his need to stay afloat. The curveball? A girl who shows up on his college campus, memory wiped, who he wants to help. 

As Ella and Hugo get to know each other, Ella slowly remembers her purpose, and Hugo has to decide whether to believe and help her, or to keep his head down and mind his business.

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)

In the process of revamping this profile and this novel... thanks for your patience! (Estimated time of arrival: 12/01/19) "What are we?" I muttered in awe. "Efferent." He cocked his head slightly to the side. "Although, I do not believe that anyone is truly like you, Ardyn Danvers. You are something different altogether. You are something far more superior." ********** In a society dictated by intellectual prowess and where your status is determined by your level of brain function, Ardyn Danvers finds herself on her knees with a historically low percentage. With few choices left to make, and a dim future ahead of her, Ardyn is resigned to joining the rest of the bottom feeders in the gutter. But when an esoteric clinic of scientists develop a serum meant to increase tested brain function, they threaten to turn the nation's establishment on its head and heighten government control. Intending to level the division between the high percentages and the low, they had expected to use the serum to bridge the gap between the undesirables at the foot of the hierarchy to the elite standing at the pinnacle. What they did not expect, however, were the side effects. ********** © 2017 AaPThomps all rights reserved. COMPLETED FIRST DRAFT. Cover by @-wanderes
