    About this ebook

    SOVEREIGN: THE FIRST CHAPTER includes three separate flash fiction stories. "New Beginnings," "The Keepers," and "Family First" are fictional stories that look to captivate you and draw you in.
    "New Beginnings," describes one man's journey as he must guide his family through tough times and a daring escape from his home city. Can they outrun the army, or will they die for freedom?
    "The Keepers," is about Faith Valentine and her fight for survival. She's stuck in her closet as ravenous beasts emerge from the forest and terrorize her neighborhood. Hope has kept her alive for now, but time is running out.
    "Family First," takes a deeper look into the life of Christopher Hall, the president of a pharmaceutical company. He grieves for the loss of his wife and children as he's met with hostility from his boss. As the two clash, it becomes apparent that Chris will do anything for his family.
