The 65%: Shadows & Fire
In a fractured world where 65% of the population is born with extraordinary abilities, the balance between power and control teeters on the edge of chaos. The Oversight, a shadowy organization claiming to maintain order, uses its elite enforcers-the Guardians-to suppress dissent and crush rebellion. To the public, they are saviors. But to those who know the truth, they are executioners.
For siblings Adonis and Akari Nakamura, the truth hits home when their parents are murdered, framed for treason, and branded as enemies of the state. Forced into hiding with their best friend AJ Singh, the Trio stumbles into the underground world of Exodus-a rogue group of Echoes fighting to expose the Oversight's atrocities. Their survival hinges on secrets carried by a flash drive, a mysterious vial, and the weight of their growing powers.
Adonis, believed to be powerless his whole life, discovers the terrifying potential to mimic the abilities of others-abilities he can never fully control. AJ's super speed becomes a double-edged sword, pushing his body to its limits as he fights to keep the Trio safe. And Akari, burdened by her monstrous shapeshifting, begins to fear the cost of her power.
As the Trio trains with Exodus, the lines between hero and villain blur. Old betrayals surface, alliances shift, and the looming threat of The Guardians grows stronger. But none of them are prepared for the darkness awakening within Adonis-a power tied to death itself, one that could tip the scales of the entire war.
In a world where freedom demands sacrifice, how far are they willing to go-and who will they lose along the way?

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete
