“The beginning of this story starts much like all other stories in the world, a boy with a dream. Only this boy works hard for what he believes and goes off to college and learns what he needs to know. After getting into the world of his dreams, he starts a company and names it Theta. Not sure where the name came from, but whatever. This man gathers more men like him and together they accomplished the dream of the man who started it all. You may be wondering what this has to do with you. Well, to be frank you are the materials needed to fulfill that dream.” –Jack
Nadia’s world is turned upside down one night when her and her siblings, Dmitri and Sonya are kidnapped by the Theta Company. While held in captivity Jack, a lackey of the company, informs Nadia of their true intentions: to turn them into the ultimate cyborg killers. Separated from her family Nadia is sent to the mass compound, where all the other kidnapped children are kept. Nadia feels alone in a world of sterility and cruelty where torture is disguised as testing and the modifications never stop.
As Nadia’s transformation progresses the line between humanity and machinery begins to blur. Not even the companionship of fellow experiments can slow the change. The question is, can Nadia find a way out of the lab before she loses her humanity altogether? And even if she does escape, what life is there for a creation that is nothing more than a collection of circuits and synapses?

Winter is not exactly the 'season of the witch'. It's cold in Washington, and everything is covered in snow. But it doesn't bother Lucilla Sinclair, the fiery Witch-Warden for Washington state. She's perfectly happy performing minor enchantments at her little arcane shop in Redhaven, an old fishing town turned tourist attraction. Besides, her tall, dark-skinned elemental guardian Mishal keeps her warm at night. Her raven familiar, Irwin, helps her to pass the time in the otherwise sleepy town.
Magickal mischief in the cold, quiet state is slow for the most part, but when a freak winter storm lands a half-transformed Siren on her front porch, Lucy’s life becomes increasingly strange. Her dreams are suddenly assaulted with visions of a beautiful demon man, and her waking hours are spent warding off a cadre of mysterious shadow creatures.
With the life of the Siren in her hands, Lucy must trek through the snows of Canada in a race against time. Her mission: to find the one person with enough knowledge of forbidden black magick to fix the broken Siren Melusine before her seven days on land are up.
