Aria

There's only one thing I know for sure: I have to save my mother.

I've been on my own for as long as I can remember—separated from my family, living in orphanages and homeless shelters, and trying to cobble together some version of security. Now, I work at a tavern, eat scraps for dinner, and squat in somebody's basement. The world outside is chaotic, with upcoming elections making our leadership unstable, technology changing at a pace that defies comprehension, and people with magic in their ancestry protesting their treatment by the government.

But it's the most stable my life has ever been, and I'm almost, dare I say it, happy.

Everything changes when Finn walks into the tavern. He's searching for an android murderer, and I get it—technology tends to break when I get too close. But it's not me.

I might know I'm not who he's looking for, but he disagrees—which I discover when he tracks me to the basement where I live. But when the party upstairs crashes through the floor, I'm scooped up by the mysterious force that has kept me safe my whole life, and I'm back on the run again.

But this time, I'm being hunted.

I know I'll do whatever it takes to survive. After all, my mother's life depends on it.

This exciting future fantasy novel is the first in a trilogy filled with action and adventure, futuristic technology and worlds, and magic.
