THE PRODIGIES
"They thought they were ordinary-until one storm changed everything, revealing secrets no one else could see and forcing them to face the truth about who they really are." The storms only appear to them. When three sisters begin seeing lightning split clear skies and thunder shake empty rooms, they think they're losing their minds-until the storms start answering them. Power sparks beneath their skin, unpredictable and dangerous, binding them in ways they don't understand. Then the government starts watching. As a covert agency closes in, determined to harness what they carry, the sisters are forced to run-while uncovering a truth even more devastating: their missing mother, their deceased father, both may have known this was coming. And whatever they were involved in might be the reason the sisters were chosen. Hunted, awakening, and running out of time, the sisters must master their power before it's taken from them-or used against each other.

The Darkness in the Light
For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness. It isn't overly mature... there isn't much explicit language or sexual scenes, but there is a bit of violence, so just keep that in mind... and despite all that negativity, ENJOY!Complete
