Mindwalker

Eighteen-year-old Sil Sarrah is determined to die a legend. But with only twelve months left before the supercomputer grafted to her brain kills her, Sil’s time is quickly running out.

In the ten years she’s been rescuing field agents for the Syntex corporation—by commandeering their minds from afar and leading them to safety—Sil hasn’t lost a single life. And she’s not about to start now. But when a critical mission goes south, Sil is forced to flee the very company she once called home.

Desperate to prove she’s no traitor, Sil infiltrates the Analog Army, an activist faction working to bring Syntex down. Her plan: to win back her employer’s trust by destroying the group from within. Instead, she and the Army’s reckless leader, Ryder, uncover a horrifying truth that threatens to undo all the good she’s ever done. With her tech rapidly degrading and her new ally keeping dangerous secrets of his own, Sil must find a way to stop Syntex in order to save her friends, her reputation—and maybe even herself.

Mindbreaker

Born into a religious cult, Indra Dyer lives a simple, tech-free existence. But when an illicit trip leaves her with a debilitating—and terminal—condition, Indra must choose: die faithful, or betray her Order and accept the cure Glindell Technologies is offering.

Forced to sign over her life, Indra is horrified to learn the true nature of Glindell’s plans. Instead of saving her body, they upload her mind to a MindDrive, housed in a robotic shell. On the outside, Indra looks the same; on the inside, she’s not so sure. She keeps finding herself in places she really shouldn’t be, with no memory of how she got there, and dangerous abilities she can’t explain. So when news breaks of an attack against Glindell’s biggest rival, Indra suspects the worst.

With the help of Tian—a research assistant with questionable morals and a smile that won’t quit—Indra must uncover the truth before Glindell can use it to change the face of technology, and what it means to be human, forever...

Before We Collide

A forbidden power. An impossible prophecy. Two hearts destined to collide.

Raya Wryvern was supposed to be a prodigy. As the daughter of two powerful Shades—world-renowned for seeing the future—she was expected to graduate from the Academy at the top of her class. Instead, she’s failing. And the cost of failure is having her magic bound.

Desperate, Raya asks the future a forbidden question. But instead of an answer, it shows her the end of all magic and the death of her kind. And at the heart of the vision is Ezzo, the boy it claims she’s destined to love. Except Ezzo’s not just a boy, he’s an illegal half-Shade who’s spent the last year drinking away his past, and he’s not interested in the future—his or hers.

With time running out on a prophecy only she can see, Raya must convince Ezzo to help her decipher the vision—before it’s too late to steer their fate onto a different path.
