"I could tell by the way he looked at me. He was afraid..."

Lilliana's interplanetary journey takes an unexpected turn when her ship crashes on a primitive planet.

Stranded and injured, she must keep a low profile to avoid alerting the locals, who are yet to discover space travel. Lilliana soon realizes that she can't survive on her own and desperately needs help until her brother arrives.

She is soon discovered, but the alien, Jarath, surprises her when he takes her in. Though they can only communicate through basic gestures, she feels drawn to him, but she is determined to never give her heart away again.

With others of Jarath's kind searching for her, the race is on. But who will get to her first - her brother, or the aliens out to do her harm?

Sparks fly in this romantic science fiction novelette.

Hybrid: The Awakening

30 parts Complete

Nobody expects something supernatural to happen to them. Those kind of things only happened in comics. Fairy Tales. Unrealistic dreams that you'd fall asleep to, silently wishing for them to come true. At least, that was what these three teenagers thought. It turns out that there is so much more to their simple universe than they ever could have imagined. After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy. And they are the ones in possession of it. When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.
