Brooklyn Li can't see why he should complain when he's one of the youngest bioengineers in the field with his friend Quinn by his side and a well-paying job: producing a new breed of cattle that's enhanced with genes from all sorts of animals, though it's not as easy as it looks. When he finally does perfect the species, he realizes what exactly his boss want from him and his work - and it's not for the food industry like he originally thought. Never had he imagined that his life would be in danger over his research, but he's perfectly willing to do what it takes to make it out alive and fulfill his Legacy Theory, a hypothesis about what makes an imprint on the world.
There's just one problem: Brooklyn has to escape, something that's nearly impossible to do when he's trapped in a fortress of a workplace. Driven by his will to stay alive, he is forced to play all the wrong cards that will leave him with a haunting memory for the rest of his life - if he ends up living.

Once rejected by the place they called home, five estranged teens jump at the opportunity for an escape.

The Seven Kings
The world is on the brink of annihilation as the Void, an ancient and malevolent force, threatens to consume everything in its path. A prophecy foretells the rise of seven destined kings who must come together to save the realm. Each possesses unique powers, born of light and shadow, yet their union is fraught with tension, mistrust, and the weight of their personal pasts. At the center of the story is Kael, a fiery and determined warrior seeking redemption and purpose. Alongside him are Elysia, a wise and enigmatic mage with a deep connection to the world's hidden truths; Nira, a skilled archer driven by loyalty and fierce independence; Serin, a scholar haunted by the burden of ancient knowledge; Lyra, a rogue whose sharp wit hides a wounded soul; and other allies whose destinies intertwine in unexpected ways. Their journey takes them through perilous trials, from haunted libraries and ancient sanctuaries to crumbling cities torn apart by the Void's corruption. They uncover fragments of the past, learning of an ancient order that once sealed the Void away, and the sacrifices it demanded. Through relentless battles and moments of reflection, they begin to understand the price of wielding their extraordinary powers: the need for balance, unity, and self-awareness. Despite their victories, the world remains scarred. Even after destroying the heart of the Void, cracks remain in the fabric of reality, threatening to fester into something worse. The seven realize their fight is not just against an external darkness but also within themselves, as they grapple with loss, duty, and the temptation of unchecked power. Amidst all this, the story shines with moments of humanity: bonds forged in fire, laughter shared after battles, and the quiet, personal struggles that make each character relatable. These moments of levity and connection serve as a poignant reminder of what they are fighting to protect-a world of fragile beauty and hope.Complete
