So this is the cover for the first book! Huge shoutout to Misses the artist and my publishing house Shadow Light

Bk 3 Ch. 14 Setting the Board

14.

“I’m Zeke!” A voice boomed out from the crowd of shuffling around bodies and Santi watched as the crowd broke apart to let a slightly older boy walk out. He was younger than Santi’s current body, but it wasn’t by much. Tall and lean, borderline emaciated with sharp cheeks and a long nose. Black dreads fell past his shoulders, gold glittered in both of his ears, diamonds sparkling in the light. 

He flashed a sparkling smile, his charis...

Bk 3 Ch. 13 Unexpected Complications

13.

Santi’s fingers brushed over the warm metal, heat emanating off the surface. A burst of pain and knowledge shot through his mind. A connectedness as his mind expanded, surpassing its limit as knowledge flowed through him like a rushing river.

Bk 3 Ch. 12 Spectacle

12.

He really didn’t need to help them. The two women were like two goddess of war out on the battlefield, the peak Initiate level monsters and fighters failing to slow them as they massacred their way across the field. Santi watched in rapt appreciation as Chloe split a lizardman in half then spun and bisected a second one, turning the two into four pieces all in one long smooth motion. 

Hana was quieter, she didn’t stand in the center of the ...

Bk 3 Ch. 11 Meeting the Neighbors

11.

Slipping off of the overpass and into the town was easy enough. Everyone was busy fighting, slashing, stabbing, burning, and killing in an orgy of destruction that called to Santi. He forced his will to crush down the urges, focusing on their objectives as Hana led them to the camp most likely to follow them.

The cautious middle aged group was deep in the center of the destroyed downtown. They had taken over a cored out building only a few blocks fr...

Bk 3 Ch. 10 Travel to the Pillar

10.

Finding the Pillar wasn’t difficult. The difficulty was in everything else was trying to find it. Mutated animals, monsters, and humans were all crawling out the woodwork and whatever hidey holes they had sequestered themselves in. Santi was forced to cast spells at a blistering pace. 

Mutated birds were wrenched out of the air and cast to the ground, frail bones shattering. Something big, ugly, and with wings shrieked at them before wheeling...

Bk 3 Ch. 9 Arrival

9.

Santi watched as Duncan materialized ten feet to his side. Not from the pool of shadows at his feet, but rather a further away, slim sliver of shadow cast by a slight crest of the land. The plain faced man was dressed in a plain black sleeveless workout shirt that hugged his lithe frame. The ugly red wound that Santi had afflicted on him was apparent as Duncan stayed a few feet away from him. 

“This is the worst wound I’ve taken. I fought Ch...

Bk 3 Ch. 8 Different types of Conversations

8.

They passed by the end of the road and split apart. Santi, Chloe, and Hana broke off from the group and started to head North. The countryside was nothing more than wilted and dead vegetation with little to see besides barren fields. The interstate was nothing but abandoned cars and skeletons. They pushed up further and further away from Homebase and toward where Daniel’s relay team had been wiped out.

The beetles could have killed them. That was a...

Bk 3 Ch. 7 New World

7.

“To recap, there’s a horde of cursed people who came from over the border, down the mountains and are now spreading like an infection. We have the remnants of the traitors and those who were helping them somewhere to our North East, and you want to go looking for a scout who might be able to get a class similar to Yessenia’s to help alleviate the bottleneck of evolutions,” Tank was looking mildly concerned.

“Yes.” 

“And said ...

Bk 3 Ch. 6 Answers

6.

The town burned behind them as Bianca’s cleansing flames consumed it all. Mom had helped drag their prisoner away from the strip of town while Santi patrolled the edges. [Gust] would send the fire screaming back in on itself rather than letting it grow and spread. Delilah and the two other scouts had been treated and sat away from the prisoner, often shouting encouraging words as Santi ran around in circles on his firefighter duty. ...

SK Ch. 7 OUCH

Chapter Seven: Ouch

Sweat pooled beneath Cassian as his body writhed out of his control. Every breath was short and shallow as he struggled to consume enough oxygen. They had thrown him in a small cabin and left him there, shuddering and shaking as if he had contracted Rift Sickness. 

“You should try relaxing,” the symbiote sounded bored as it continued to change him. 

“Easy for you to say,” Cassian chattered through a s...

Bk 3 Ch. 5 Infection

5.

Fire licked at the homes as Bianca’s cleansing flame grew to slowly encompass the house and then the others around it. Red and blue flames leapt from roof to roof, increasing in size and ferocity as the small pit stop of a town emptied itself out. There were more raiders than Santi would have thought possible. Over a score of them left alive, gathering around two men who were barking orders. 

Black lines ran across their skin like sticky webs ...

Bk 3 Ch. 4 Cursed Skirmish

 4.

The long trunk of the monster twisted and curled inward and the distant figure’s screams were faint and hardly carried on the air. Blood dripped out of the monster’s trunk, dripping on the ground as it continued on its way toward the heart of the small town. The rushing raiders stopped in fright, the fight they had been looking for larger and more dangerous than they were ready for. 

Santi’s team was running in tight formation, their...

Bk 3 Ch. 3 Raiders

3.

A/N: I'm directionally challenged. The den is to the North west. The destroyed/danger is to the North East. I'm sorry I don't know how directions work.

The early summer heat had parched the surrounding countryside, turning once lush fields into barren, sun baked earth. Santi and the rest of the war party moved at a fast clip, their breaths easy even under the fast pace. Mom was the weakest of them and she managed to keep up with them, even if she was near ...

Bk 3 Ch. 2 Family Dinner

2.

“Damn, this is good Santi!” Cameron stated between heaped forkfuls of mashed potatoes. His plate, once a platter, was nearly cleared as he attacked the meal with an energetic zeal. All around him, those who had been Acolytes for a while, were eating with an extra level of appreciation. It was one of their first meals made with appropriate food sources that weren’t the ration bars they’d been earning in award chests. 

Daniel and Hana were...

Bk 3 Ch. 1 Changing Situation

1.

Grimv attacked with the ferocity of a feral badger. His axe sang a harmony of death as the sharp steel split the air in a discordant howl. Santi didn’t dance backwards for once, but met him on open ground. The morph blade twisted and struck, wily as a serpent, darting around the dwarf’s guard and striking his thick breastplate with a loud gong sound. 

The dwarf grunted and stopped, surprise crossing his face as he nodded his wi...

Bk. 2 Apostate 4

59.

A/N: Chapter's really short, sorry. This is the final chapter of book 2 and we will be moving to Book 3 tomorrow

Naomi passed the straining plate over to Marcus, smiling graciously as her husband took it. Thick slabs of meat smothered in rich gravy, the heady aromas filled the small dining room as her family and closest confidantes ate dinner. Alan was there, presentable for once in clean clothes. He smiled and laughed as he chatted with both of her...
