This romantic adventure follows the monumental journey of orphaned brother and sister, Ben and Elizabeth Robinson. They are unknowingly descended from a highly evolved race that colonised and integrated with us over 5000 years ago after fleeing from their doomed planet, Angelos.

This gentle and deeply compassionate race had evolved over the millennia to have a dreadful power over Nature, but they chose to integrate with us at the cost of diluting their bloodline and consequently reducing their longevity and powers. 5000 years later there remains only two full blooded 'Angels', Maelstrominha and Crystalita, nubile Matriarchs of their civilisation, who's pure genes are their only hope for the rejuvenation of their kind. Elizabeth and Ben are siblings of that same bloodline, a rare occurrence and essential to the Angels to achieve this continuity.

When the Angels colonised, they brought with them baggage in the form of another much darker corrupt race, the 'Shadows', who they lost control of over the centuries. The Shadows did not integrate and consequently did not dilute their powers and, as a result, the balance of power tipped their way. They became the ruling power in today's global society consisting of the oligarchs, corrupt politicians, religious leaders, zealots and terrorists.

Elizabeth and Ben get caught up in the dreadful, on-going power struggle between these two conflicting races, fighting a war for peace and harmony on the one side and ultimate global domination on the other. The adventure and enduring love stories that ensue will have you riveted!  Quote one reader who has read the whole book: "Fantastic book! Exciting and gripping, the plot takes you on a trip through various historical characters and different times! It's a real page-turner and definitely worth a read. You won't regret it and I promise that if you like fantasy adventure with romance, you won't!

The aliens came here for one thing, and one thing only.... Females. ( This story is only available through inkitt or galatea!!!) (some read events may apply) (check update chapter for more details!) Humans believed they were the only intelligent life to exist... that it was impossible for another species to evolve in a way where they could prevail in something as great as space travel. humans believed they were supposed to be the most technologically advanced species and the alpha predators... They were wrong. The Xandisians evolved in ways humans never could have imagined, they are natural-born killers with phenomenal strength and agility. Their kind never went through the same devolution as humans, they never lost their natural instincts to hunt, kill, or breed. With their limitless potential and monstrous strength, they faced few threats and could survive almost any threat that befall their species, almost. After an incurable sickness washes over the planet of xanadis, the majority of the female, young and elderly, and vulnerable population is all but wiped out, leaving a small portion of the male population to face the threat of extinction. With no choice but to look to the stars for a means to save their kind from complete annihilation, the xandisians set out to find a race compatible with their own. after many years and countless failed expeditions, they finally find a species that matches their base DNA on a planet called Earth. The only issue now is how humans will react. (Book 2 LTF series) (CAN be read as a stand alone, but not recommended for nostalgia reasons~) (ps this is UNEDITED, grammar and spelling mistakes will ensue!) (NOTE: THIS IS ITS OWN STORY NOT A CONTINUATION. SAME CHARACTERS BUT DIFFERENT PLOT.)(Last to fall au/spin-off)

"𝔼𝕍𝔼ℝ𝕐 𝔽𝔸𝕄𝕀𝕃𝕐 ℍ𝔸𝕊 𝕊𝔼ℂℝ𝔼𝕋𝕊" - - - "My name is Hazel, but most people call me Ze. I'm from Melbourne, and love Taylor Swift." I cringe at my own words, and think back to a time where Fletcher was one of the only people calling me Ze. "Does anyone have questions for Miss. Bolivi?" Fletcher asks, and I hate the way my father's last name sounds on his lips. Lots of students raise their hands, and I feel overwhelmed. People actually want to learn something about me? "Yes, Miss. Abbott. Ask away," Fletcher says to one of the girls who is seated at a table at the front of the class, with other kids who all look bitchy like her. "Are you related to the Bolivi brothers?" Her disgustingly sweet voice pukes out. "My last name is Bailey," I say coldly, hating how that was her only query about me. - - - Hazel Bailey. She's your typical Australian teenage girl. From going out with friends every Friday night, to crushing on university boys. But what happens when this seemingly normal girl experiences the loss of her mother?

Instead, her five older brothers have gained custody of her. The same five older brothers she never knew existed. Something about them seems off, and Hazel can't help acting wary. But they're not the only ones with secrets. Join Hazel in a journey of lies, love, attachment, and humor.

Elio Nott is perhaps one of the most well-known bachelors in the Wizarding World. He's dashing, charming, and never serious. Which is why when Elio turns twenty-three with no signs of settling down, his parents decide to force him into the world of pureblood balls and matchmaking, much to his chagrin. The only perks are the *many* elegant females and, perhaps, the spiked punch. Elio hates it all. Until he goes to the stupid Malfoy Masquerade Ball only to find the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. But before he can even get her name, she disappears. Annalise Riddle is quiet, slow to trust, and prefers the company of her piano to one of her peers any day. As the daughter of the Dark Lord, she is constantly in danger so Annie spends her days shyly hidden away for fear of being harmed by one of his many enemies. So she isn't expecting to go to a ball and meet a stunning boy with grey eyes and a charming grin that takes away all of her defenses. Panicking, Annie leaves and vows to never see him again. Until he shows up another night to search for her. A Game of Cat and Mouse tells of a woman afraid of love and a man so determined to have her that he will stop at nothing. This book contains instant attraction, billionaire-esque playboy MMC, a sprinkle of dark romance, cinderella retelling, brother's rival, "he falls first AND harder", forced proximity, and lots of male pining. This is a spinoff of the Slytherin Boys series. It is recommended that you read my books Smoke & Stars and Darkness & Devotion for an idea of the character's parents and their backstories, though it is not required. This story does NOT take place at Hogwarts! . . . "There isn't a single word on this Earth that can describe how radiant you are. I am certain that a vision of you inspired the heavens, that one glimpse of you would make God realize why he created man. You are a divine angel and I am but a humble man begging on his knees for a taste of you."

In the blink of an eye, the shards of glass previously lying at Nathan's feet were surrounding him, inches from his skin. His heart beat jumped at the suddenness, but he refused to move. As he looked back at Will, he no longer found the aggressive teen super-soldier, but an angry, terrified child staring back at him. "No," Will snapped, only just managing to hide the wavering fear in his voice. "If I have to live like this, then so do you." Nathan maintained his calmness, even as the glass edged its way closer to his skin. "Let us get the antidote and all of us can be free." It's been a month since the unlucky four's lives were changed forever. They thought their new plan of retrieving their siblings would be an easy one, until Nathan begins to distance himself, leaving for days and returning battered and bruised, and Ash becomes lost in her own head. An attack, several deaths and a mysterious stranger later, and the four of them are back on the road, following only the word of a boy in a desperate attempt to find some kind of way to save their brothers and sisters. But as the secrets they find on their journey begin to cause tension in the group, it may prove much more difficult to band together than they first expected. All is not what it seems in the second instalment of the Children of the Elements series as Nathan, Ash, Chris and Eva embark on their latest adventure to the hidden Rockfall Bay. * * * Hey guys! So this is the second book in my trilogy and therefore a sequel to the first book, Children of the Elements: Our Beginning. I guess you don't have to have read the first book to understand the storyline, but it kind of helps to know who the characters are and the relationships between them. Copyright © 2013 Gemma May.
