    About this ebook

    Her destiny collides with a man who can kill with a touch…

    Thirty years into the First Genetic Revolution, society’s tolerance for human derivatives is wearing thin. Clones and in vitros are regarded with suspicion, and mutants with resentment. Yet in spite of the hostile environment, some alpha telepaths—like Miriya Templeton—have thrived.

    Not for much longer…

    Destiny has set her life on a collision course with Danyael Sabre, the alpha empath who can kill with a touch. Whether he becomes friend or foe, whether he and she live or die, will depend on the choices she makes. On her decisions hang the outcomes of the Second Genetic Revolution.

    Miriya does not believe in destiny, nor want any part of the revolution, but she will risk everything to save a beloved friend, even if it means returning home to New Orleans. The decadent elegance of the Mardi Gras krewes conceal treachery and brewing death.

    It’s too much for a novice like Miriya.

    Natural talent and courage won’t save her.

    Conviction might, but first, she has to decide what to believe in…and who to fight for…

    Miriya is a standalone "prequel" novella to the Double Helix series—award-winning futuristic thrillers, perfect for X-Men, Heroes, and Alphas fans. Grab your copy and join the Genetic Revolution today!

    Jade Kerrion

    Welcome! I’m Jade Kerrion, a Science Fiction author. I graduated from the Johns Hopkins University with an undergraduate degree in Biology and Philosophy, and then went on to get my MBA from the Darden Graduate School of Business Administration, University of Virginia. My varied background led me through many careers across many industries, including container shipping, education, and management consulting. In my spare time, I wrote stories – young adult, fantasy, and science fiction – and developed a loyal reader base with my fan fiction series based on the MMORPG Guild Wars. I was accused of keeping my readers up at night, distracting them from work, housework, homework, and (far worse), from actually playing Guild Wars. And then I wondered why just screw up the time management skills of gamers? Why not aspire to screw everyone else up too? So here I am, writing books that aspire to keep you from doing anything else useful with your time. I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with my wonderfully supportive husband and my two young sons, Saint and Angel, (no, those aren’t their real names, but they are like saints and angels, except when they’re not.) Thank you for visiting!

      Miriya is one of many people that are now changed. Due to the scientific world having given them a bit of a better chance to survive they gave many of these children talents that scared normal people. The more talented people were called alphas and their powers were not so easily challenged. The talents caused others to call them mutants and mutants were not too welcomed in the world. Some were rogue and had to be dealt with. The enforcers did this, but Miriya just wanted to live her simple life and go on with what made her happy. Short but good read
