The Peril of 3857 was described as one of the deadliest wars known to mankind. It wiped out children left and right, and took the majority of the population as it's own.
Patricia Astoria Lynde doesn't remember the attack. A slightly popular teenager, she has never experienced running for her life, or almost starving as she hopes soldiers won't hear her cry. But her mother does.
At fifteen, her mother was one of the most influential soldiers defending the country. The battle is over, hard fought and sorely won, but there was no time to celebrate it. Mostly, life turned to normal as she raised her twin children in a safe enviroment.
Today was the Peril's memorial day.
The day honouring the five billion people dead after the first attack.

Discovering Shadows (Completed)
I have restarted this book. I wanted to make it easier to read and more enjoyable. I hope to make shorter chapters and update frequently. :) In the beginning Sylar has no name. No one cares. She's just another kid to fall into a system because she was an unwanted mess. A child that doesn't talk? Yea, no one care about that either. A shady group home filled with bullies and secrets? Yea, you guessed NO ONE CARES! To find friends in a place like this is unlikely. This place is built to feed off the fears of kids and their lack of parental role models. No one holds on to dreams for long in a place like this. You get placed here and you are as good as forgotten. Except when a couple shows up looking as out of place as an astronaut in a gold mine or a miner in space whichever one you prefer. This couple comes and shakes things up. Good or Bad has yet to be decided...only someone's bound to get hurt, someone's bound to be broken. The only question is will the wounds heal or fester and kill?Complete
