Defied

By Gary Urey

After stabilizing Earth's X-Point and bringing the world back from the verge of climactic disaster, Axel and Daisha's lives are almost back to normal. But when they learn an old nemesis is behind a company proposing to harness the X-Point’s power, it looks like history might repeat itself.
