What if I told you that humans with supernatural abilities exist? What if I told you that they have since centuries ago?
These people are called Illinoisans and they have been banished to Sona hundreds of years ago. Those Illinoisans adapted to Sona and formed an advanced society very quickly.
But then twelve Illinoisans escaped and traveled to Earth due to curiosity, breaking Sona's law. They noticed that it wasn't that much different from Earth so they decided to stay and live a normal human life and have a family of Impures which are half human and half Illinois.
These Impures grew up dealing with their abnormalities and Sierra is one of them.
But what happens when she finds out that she wasn't just any Impure? What happens if she finds out there's something wrong with the society?
Her dad went "missing" after finding out about the Royals' evil plan and now it's Sierra's job to continue where her dad left off to bring justice to Sona.

Full Throttle
I've made it out of that nightmare I used to call home. The last person my parents had entrusted with my safety was a lie. The man I was being married off too turned out to be a ruthless monster. Escape was my only choice if I was going to come out alive. Now, I'm hundreds of miles away from the only home I knew. Living in a car, scraping by. Enduring what I was afraid of to begin with. A rich girl like me was not meant for the streets. But I'll be damned if they drag me down. If it means survival from here on out to keep me away from the hands of my own family so be it. But the universe seemed to have a different plan for me. One with three men, 3 bikes and a load of baggage they are not ready to deal with. Protecting myself is a priority, especially with the life that is growing inside of me. Distance is key, survival is crucial and staying the hell away from these men is detrimental. They've got no idea the hell that is me, Juniper Vanderbilt.
