"A descendant of the architect pierced my reality, leaving me and the others the responsibility to inherit the earth, then save it from those we never fathomed existed among us. My name is Jesca Sera. My reality has been pierced, and it is with absolute certainty that nothing will ever be the same in our world again." Jesca Corruption of our world is spreading, threatening the evolution of the entire galaxy. Conspiracies to save or destroy humankind give strength to an impending catastrophic event. And salvation lies in the hands of fractured guardians who have inherited the earth. Jesca has accepted her fate as a keeper of the world, and will do anything to win this war. But when the lines between ally and enemy are blurred, and her growing attraction to the two men fighting for her heart spirals out of control, everyone is left vulnerable. Jesca and her fellow guardians' fortitude is further tested when their battle for earth takes them to the far reaches of Japan's Aokigahara Forest, where the mysticism it covets brings weighted supernatural challenges they could never have anticipated. The predestined links she and the guardians share have the power to keep them safe or send them into a tailspin of sacrifices that may destroy them all.
"With the breach of our world by those intent on invading it, a veil has been opened, giving way to the evolution we needed to stop. Now, I must ascend this veil that has released boundless evil into our world. This inheritance I possess is the key to a legacy bestowed to me, one that I have not yet discovered." JescaThe global invasion has begun, threatening the evolution of mankind. Evil is seeping into the world through the veil, a celestial barrier meant to separate our universe from all others. And the only ones who can seal it are trapped in a fight for their own lives. Two of the men in Jesca's life have made the ultimate sacrifice in a daring attempt to save her from near death. The fate of Ezra and Nate is dismal unless Jesca, Xander, and the other guardians can find a way to rescue them. Saving them means finding a way to close the ethereal veil separating the world from the evil that lies beyond it. To do so, Jesca must ascend beyond the veil, where malignant illusions turn allies against one another and nothing is as it seems. Only one truth among the illusions is bestowed to Jesca: the celestial inheritance from her ancestors, along with the prophecy of what is to come. Now she must learn to use this vision to save the guardians, or the entire world will fall.
"I have returned to an evolved earth. A place I no longer recognize. A self I no longer recognize. My name is Jesca Sera. My reality has been pierced, and it is with absolute certainty that nothing will ever be the same in our world again. One thing is certain. I hold the blueprint of our salvation." JescaJesca and the guardians have returned from beyond the veil, to a world that has fallen apart in their absence. A galactic intersection, the following climatic shifts, and rigorous genetic manipulation has destroyed the earth's remaining populous. Humankind is being invaded, occupied, and destroyed under their invisible reign. The beings' intent? To possess our world and stop the other guardians from fulfilling the legacy that could save us all. Now, ushered into a world devolved into darkness, Jesca must utilize what she's learned of her ancient bloodline, supernatural legacy, and link between the guardians to save them all. With only Jesca's visions of what this ancient legacy holds for them, the guardians depend on the divining glimpses of her ancestry to put them on the path leading to salvation. Will the obstacles be too great for them to overcome, or will Jesca find the courage and strength to help them all fulfill their destinies?

Mecca is a murderer.At least, that's what she thinks when she accidentally kills a man who attacks her in the parking lot of her favorite coffee shop. Self defense, right? Except how is she to explain that she killed him with only a hand on his wrist?Vampires don't exist. At least, not in the "traditional" sense. The Visci, a species that subsists on human blood, are not undead. They're not human. And they never were.Close kin to humans, the Visci pass within our society easily, and over millennia, have wedged their way into positions of power. Long-lived, they are also very difficult to kill. However, they have an evolutionary flaw. While they do not die easily, they also do not reproduce easily.But they can mate with humans -- and have, giving rise to a population of human-Visci hybrids, called half-bloods by those of pure Visci lineage. For centuries, they lived and worked together, these half-bloods and pure bloods. But tensions have risen and civil war is now raging on the doorstep.But Mecca Trenow knows none of this when she flees to her father, panicked over her unintended use of the family Gift: the one that allows her to manipulate human energy. She's always hated her gift and refused to learn anything about it beyond how to control it so she would do no harm. That is, until a rogue pure blood attacks her and she reacts instinctively, draining his life -- the life he's stolen from another -- out of him in moments.And now she's a murderer.When word gets back to the Visci of someone who can kill one of their kind with just a touch, the race is on to acquire Mecca as a weapon in the coming battle. As she learns about this shadowy underground group, she also discovers her father's dark past and the secret he has kept from her all of her life. Reeling from this discovery and unable to trust the one person she has always counted on, Mecca is isolated from everything she once knew, all the while being hunted by dangerous creatures bent on using her Gift for their own bloody purposes.
