Nothing much happens in Sarendune, a town plopped somewhere in a desert by the same name.  16 year old Declan knows that better than anyone.  When he's not visiting his dad in the hospital or playing mediator between his mom and estranged sister, he spends his days hoverboarding and shoplifting from the local stores.
Until he meets Gizmo.
As eccentric as her name, Gizmo possesses a love for high speed technology and a flair for hilarity that belies her subtle wisdom.  With her urging, Declan begins to escape the rigid strictures of society and seek his own self.
But Gizmo has a secret of her own, one that will ensnare everyone close to her.  And like the scars in her flesh, her dark past cannot be hidden for long.  A mysterious business. An underground operation.  Bit by bit, the past is catching up to them.  And it wants Gizmo back.

Emmett was used to being caught between college and his engineering internship, but when he gets caught between a powerful hero and an even stronger villain, he becomes collateral damage. Instead of dying, he wakes up a cyborg. Turns out his boss wasn't just an eccentric inventor, and the old man just gave him a shining opportunity to be a hero. Except that's just the beginning, and things are about to get a lot more complicated. His boss has his own agenda. The boss's daughter has her own power armor. His roommate works for an evil corporation. And Emmett is small fry. Just a Class 1 hero.

Sometimes the world as we know it is not at all what it seems... The world of Griffion is out of control, submerged in a desperate war which it can never hope to win. Griffionites and Tapushians alike tire of the fighting and look to a long forgotten prophecy to end the conflict. A group of warriors, gifted with magical abilities, destined to end the fighting, a world long hidden, and a secret that might just destroy them all... Green Bush has never been anything but the nerdy geek his whole life, due to his smaller size, large glasses, and nerdy disposition. Orphaned since birth, he feels no deep connection to anyone and only cares for a handful of individuals. He certainly has no interest in the war or any sort of prophecy. But destiny has other plans and, when danger comes knocking, his life--and the lives of his friends--are put in jeopardy. Now, he will be forced to leave behind everything he's ever known, fulfill the prophecy, and become a hero the galaxy could never have predicted. The truth has been hidden for years, but not even the best of intentions can be kept from the light forever, and the only thing left to lose is everything.
