Emergence

Her life destroyed in the Second Apocalypse, Melissa sets out alone to become an Archsussa and save her family, but gains weight as a result of the need to remain awake continuously for training. When she comes across Richard and his scientists, will Melissa find acceptance or rejection because she is an overweight Archsussa? Why does Richard's brother Vincent take a liking to her, and what dark power does he hide? And why does the young girl in the old photograph look so much like her – is it an evil reflection of herself? Melissa struggles with self-esteem and acceptance as she journeys to make new friends and avenge the death of her father by defeating the Freilux.
