The Hidden Prodigy
Long before Rachel Langford began uncovering the riddles of reality, her father Edward lived a life of brilliance and peril. The Hidden Prodigy traces his journey from a precocious child who dismantled clocks to a visionary scientist who dared to rewrite the laws of physics. Gifted yet restless, Edward spends his youth unraveling the hidden order of the universe-crafting strange formulas in the dark, building self-aware machines, and discovering that observation itself can bend time. But genius comes at a cost. His beloved wife dies giving birth to Rachel's brother Jonathan, and Edward entrusts both children to their aunt Josephine, a loyal guardian soon framed by shadowy forces eager to steal Edward's work. Driven by grief and a burning need to answer a single haunting question posed during a televised interview, Edward launches Project EYELOCK, a vault of revolutionary research protected by biometric keys drawn from his children's own eyes. He fills the lab with VHS tapes, TV monitors, and a rare Apple Macintosh II-digital breadcrumbs for a future only they can access. As governments and secret agencies circle, Edward races to complete a quantum engine capable of rewriting cause and effect. His calculations warn of catastrophe, yet he presses forward, convinced the next generation will understand what he began. On a fateful night, an explosion engulfs his laboratory, erasing his body but not his legacy. All that remains are scattered notebooks, encrypted tapes, and a final message for Rachel-a father's challenge to finish the work that could remake reality itself.

Life along the Outer Rim doesn't quite measure up to the golden living standards implied by the name of the region it belongs to, Aurum, but that doesn't prevent the scrappy, streetwise teen, NITA STRANGE, from making the most of her circumstances there. Whether it's playing the high-stakes tables in the Rim's underground poker circuit, hocking her baked goods on the black market, or taking on a few unconventional (and slightly illegal) jobs with her trusty badger sidekick in toe, she's not afraid to bend the rules to keep the odds tipped in her favor. But her latest job-a suspicious, high-paying prison train heist with a former accomplice-might be pushing those limits. Armed with little more than her quick wit and shrewd survival instincts, NITA STRANGE struggles to stay in control of the operation, pushed to her breaking point by the fact she can't afford to fail. Especially when she learns there's more on the line than just a payday. *A huge thank you to Aus Key for the cover design!Complete![The Prodigies [First Draft]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/119987521-256-k761244.jpg)
The Prodigies [First Draft]
Five-year-old Kendall Frodell is a genius and has been ever since she was born. The fact that she can and does read high school material, can mentally solve a wide array of equations, and has an incredible memory for trivia could've all easily skipped her from Kindergarten to fifth grade. But Kenny's intelligence (along with her voice) hides behind vague, situation-based index cards and rewritten answers. Things quickly change when she becomes afflicted with peculiar fainting spells-- ones where she walks, writes, and even solves equations while seemingly unconscious. Her erudition is unwillingly revealed, and she's whisked off to an academy for people like her. Very suddenly becoming aware of a whole society of gifted children, school has never been more challenging. An enforced social hierarchy, infamously harsh teachers, blockheaded children-- and the brief disappearances of her classmates only add to everything. In the style of both Ender's Game and the X-Men, The Prodigies is a piece of speculative fiction that will leave you...curious. Highest Ranking: #2 in Science Fiction [©2017-2018.
