THE DOUBLE HELIX COLLECTION
Finally available as a single collection, the books in the Double Helix series have gathered over 100 Amazon reviews with an average of 4.5 stars.
“Higher octane than Heroes. More heart than X-Men.”
His genetic code sourced from the best that humanity offers, Galahad embodies the pinnacle of perfection. When Zara Itani, a mercenary, frees him from his laboratory prison, she offers him a chance to claim everything that had ever been denied him, starting with his humanity.
Perfection cannot be unleashed without repercussions; Galahad’s freedom shatters Danyael Sabre’s life.
An alpha empath, Danyael is rare and coveted, even among the alpha mutants who dominate the Genetic Revolution. He wields the power to heal or kill with a touch, but craves only privacy—an impossible dream for the man who was used as Galahad’s physical template.
Galahad and Danyael, two men, one face. One man seeks to embrace destiny, and the other to escape it. But destiny has a name. Zara. Assassin.
The multiple award-winning Double Helix series, consisting of Perfection Unleashed, Perfect Betrayal, Perfect Weapon, and Perfection Challenged, will defy your notions of perfection and humanity and plunge you into a world transformed by the Genetic Revolution.
Aeternae Noctis
ETERNAL NIGHT
1st place, Fantasy, Royal Palm Literary Award 2014
When fear exceeds understanding, nothing is as it seems…
Alone for a millennium, since a human murdered her beloved consort, Ashra, the immortal icrathari queen, rules over Aeternae Noctis, the domed city of eternal night. Her loneliness appears to be at an end when her lover's soul is reborn in a human, Jaden Hunter, but their reunion will not be easy.
Jaden is sworn to protect his half-sister, five-year-old Khiarra. She is the child of prophecy, destined to end the eternal night and the dominion of the Night Terrors—the icrathari and the vampires.
As Jaden defends his sister from the Night Terrors, Ashra struggles to sustain her crumbling kingdom in the face of enemies without and treachery within. Love may never have a second chance when Jaden stumbles upon Ashra's secret—the great lie of Aeternae Noctis…
ETERNAL DAWN
Nothing false endures forever, especially not love…
All parents in Aeternae Noctis have lost children to the culling, among them, the herbalist Rafael Varens. Once more, humanity's remnants rise in rebellion against the ruthless rule of the three immortal icrathari and their vampire army. Yet again, they are crushed.
When the icrathari Siri seeks a salve for her chronic pain, she and Rafael strike a bargain. He will cure the poison in her blood if she expands the settlement and frees the children, including his son. Their tentative alliance ushers in unexpected friendship, until it is shattered by the cruelest betrayal.
From the darkness below the earth, an ancient and implacable enemy rises, twisting their pain and turning Rafael and Siri against each other—his first step in the destruction of Aeternae Noctis…
ETERNAL DAY
If there is a way, it begins here…
Erich Dale was once a poet, an artist, and in love with the night. Now, he’s an immortali, an elder vampire cursed into insanity by the icrathari warlord, Tera. Trapped in the fragments of his shattered mind is the key to healing a scorched and devastated Earth.
Only Tera can unlock his secrets, but she is a destroyer, not a nurturer. Erich, consumed by hatred and a desire for vengeance, will not be soothed. Together, they can end the thousand-year reign of eternal night, but unless there is forgiveness, there can be no reconciliation. Without reconciliation, hope perishes.
She created her worst enemy, and now, his hate will damn all humanity, forever…
