In the depths of Crestpoint, there is unrest. In 2019, the nation became independent, leaving behind the confines of the United States-creating its own government. Five years later, a plan is underway to make it stronger. The leaders are only getting more secretive-wanting more control. 
  
  Frightened by the sudden changes, seventeen-year-old Natalie Matthews decides to join the government to protect herself and her family from her deepest fears. She is given the opportunity she needs to succeed, but when she falls in love with Sean Davis, she is forced into the center of a plot much thicker than she imagined. 
  
  Entangled in an effort to win a treacherous competition, she becomes the target of attacks. As she exposes the leaders' corruption, she thinks the danger is over, but instead finds herself caught between the watchful eyes of the world and the lingering secrets of the person she wanted to trust the most.

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!

2nd Place in The Dragon Fire Awards 3rd Place in Science Fiction in the Tricolour Terrenial Awards. " No one was truly your own in this world. Everyone, in the deepest parts of their hearts, cared only for themselves. And even if true love did exist, you can never truly understand someone. You can never know what is going on in the other person's head. For all you know, the person can be looking at you with loving eyes, full of bliss, but really they are battling their own, inner demons, keeping secrets buried and telling lies to cover up. That's what people do. That's what everyone does. Keep their demons buried and tell lies to keep them buried. And people love so that they can heal, so that they can find relief from continuously battling their demons. To have someone to share their burden with. And havoc occurs when the demon is stronger than your will, when love isn't enough to keep the monster at bay. " A girl, torn between her heart and mind. A boy, set out to avenge his parents. A pair of twins with only one, deadly goal in their life. A country ruled and oppressed by a power-hungry mad man. Will they ever be free?
