THE MISSING EMPEROR ~ The Elemental Seven Book I

Long ago, there was a great battle between Wolfert, Ainsworth and Leatherwood. All three were nearing their limits and decided on peace. To keep this peace they agreed to genetically engineer the most powerful of masters. Ainsworth was the first. They selected the strongest genes in the clan and genetically modified this embryo that would later become LeGrande Ainsworth. However, Ainsworth made a grave error. The procedure they used nearly killed the developing fetus that resulted in the mother's demise. Two years later, there were Emerald Leatherwood and River Wolfert, the second generation. Their mothers gave birth successfully and lived. However, the leaders began to dislike the amount of power they had placed in the hands of these children, especially River. His biological father, Skye Wolfert, ordered both of them killed, thus attempting to have them assassinated. The three were called the Bane of the Gods, the Unwanted Ones. They became outcasts in their own country. No one could understand them like each other. For many years after countless failed assassinations, River left the country. Emerald and LeGrande had never known he was leaving and fended for themselves, eventually becoming lords of the clans under their parents' wings. But never were the three of them cared for. Even to this day they are seen as what they were bared for: monster weapons of mass destruction.
