A man desperate to save his son is intertwined in a plot a century later to build an angel. His work lives on.

The lives of the people are enriched, flowing with wealth and modest piety. Everyone up here is a saint, and everyone below is a martyr for their sainthood. An angel lives up on the eaves of the White Citadel, preaching and singing hymns for the Great One above. How will he reconcile with the true sin of the people above? How will he sing when his vocal chords rupture?

[COMPLETED] •Being revised... AGAIN (Progress: Intro-Chap. 3)• "We're going back... Understand? There are more threats out here than we anticipated, and they're all after you-" Lukas' voice erupted into static and chunks... I glared at the man in all black as the light continued to beam and blind me. Without my glasses it was actually painful. And then there was silence. My bare feet hit the metal floor of wherever we had jumped to, and I put my hand up to shield my eyes from the vicious attack of bright light. Not again." Alexi Callidus is living in a post-apocalyptic world... In the 25th Century. The year is 2470. She's been surviving on her own for 4 years and 8 months inside the same building with her only companion without seeing the sun. 5 years after the brutal unexplained murder of her family. 7 years after the genetic disaster of "GASP". 7 years and 4 months after the War of Nations. Everything seems to be barren and empty... But if her super old sci-fi movies didn't teach her that looks deceive, nothing will. Technology, before "GASP" (Genetically Altered Soldiers Program) and the War of Nations, was insane. You could be teleported in the blink of an eye, or healed from a once fatal injury in days. With the majority of the population infected with a viral genetic plague, almost any of the survivors could access this technology... Including Alexi. When a simple quest for survival turns into a journey of a lifetime, will Alexi be able to survive the weight of the gruesome truth when she finally uncovers it? Will our heroine be able to fade into the background and live a quiet life of cunning? Or burst into flames in a sudden blaze of tragedy? -Callidus Rising- •This book's sequel is in progress (Curing Revolution) Highest Ranks: •#1 "secretsocieties" •#1 "armageddon" •#2 "famine" •#2 "plague" •#3 "explorer" •#4 "genetic-engineering" •#5 "artificial intelligence" Com

"Something is special about you. I don't know what they know, but you need to prepare. Okay? Can you do that for me?" David's words stayed with Alyssa, though she doesn't remember hearing them, and has forgotten her brush with Death, the in-between, and almost all of her memories of the time that she spent with David. After a year of training, mourning the boy she loved and lost, Alyssa thinks she's ready for anything. She's fast, strong, and fearless. But when strange things begin to happen, Aly thinks she's lost her mind. How is she supposed to fight something she can't see? Nothing is as it seems, and she soon realizes everybody has a hidden agenda. The only question is: are they friend or foe? With new friends and danger lurking in the shadows, Aly doesn't know who to trust. As her birthday draws near, she needs protection, but feels alone . . . Or is she? When you can't trust yourself, who can you turn to?
