About this ebook

Fourteen-year-old Tommy Philips doesn’t know where he comes from. He has questions that his foster parents can’t answer, questions about who he is and what makes him so different from everyone around him. When he stumbles across evidence that one of his teachers has been guarding him for years, Tommy begins an investigation that will uncover a history he never could have guessed.
Rowan Darren wasn’t just born to be a soldier, he was made to be one. The Nospious, a collection of twelve Houses of genetically-engineered humans, live in silent conflict, fighting quiet political wars against each other and the outside world, constantly trying to advance their interests to the detriment of anyone who gets in their way, while concealing their existence. Rowan, of the House of Aries, is no exception. After years overseas, expanding his House’s influence, Rowan is coming home, but the home waiting for him is anything but simple, and survival will require more than a few modified genomes.
Though he goes by Samuel, his name is ‘Three,’ and ever since The War claimed the lives of his siblings, he has been the oldest living synthetic lifeform on Earth. Maintaining control over the increasingly restless Society of Machines has always been difficult, but a second war has been brewing for years, and if Samuel doesn’t get in front of it in time, it will cost the Society both lives and the secrecy that they’ve cultivated for years.
They come from different worlds, but they'll have to trust each other if they want to survive

Author

Ross Willard

Ross Willard, a Colorado resident, has been writing fiction in one form or another since he graduated from the Play-Doh Institute, where he majored in nap time and annoying his teachers. When not writing, Ross defends his title as Tic-Tac-Toe grand master. He is still spoken of in reverent whispers throughout Central Texas for a legendary high scoring two-letter-Scrabble word. Sometimes he finds himself remembering future events, which may explain his interest in speculative fiction. A longtime member of the Penpointers critique group, Ross can often be found procrastinating at his local independent coffee shop, or working on his website, www.rosswriter.com.
