    Arabeth Barnes Series

    About this series

    Altered by the things she's seen and done, the same old Blastborn doesn't feel the same anymore. In her frustration, she lets slip that Blastborn citizens were unwitting captives by order of their own government when the wrong reporter was listening. Soon after that, the protests started.

    She's got more than bad press to worry about when an old man asks her to free people held in a temporal anomaly, inside the mountain range separating Blastborn from the rest of the world. When they turn out to be prisoners convicted for their role in the same war that resulted in Blastborn being started, you would think recapturing them is the hard part.

    Sam and Melanie are still in Vensay, and Graham is far too interested in the crystals Arabeth brought back with her. This time, her world is changed by a strange man in a mechanized suit of over-sized armour.

     

    This is book 3 in the Arabeth Barnes Fantasy Adventure series.

      Blastborn is a quiet, old-fashioned city by any measure, so when an invisible force causes normally peaceful folks to kill one another, the police are hard put to stop it. When her cousin is murdered, Arabeth's inquiry reveals an ugly truth about the origin of Blastborn and its progenitors. Still, it had to stop. Calling in family favours and using her status to persuade gatekeepers isn't something she is comfortable with, but no one else sees what she sees. Plans for catching an unseen assailant are hard to explain and harder for others to accept. Her best friend since childhood, Samuel Hicks, is a Police Detective who has learned to trust her hunches. Refusing to let her walk into this danger alone, he insists they team up. Trust isn't easy for either of them, despite their history, or perhaps because of it. Together they'll attempt to solve a mystery that's turning the people of her city into cold-blooded killers. What they'll discover is beyond even Arabeth's imagination. ---------------- This is book one in the Arabeth Barnes series.

      Arabeth and her friends are alive, but now what? Stranded on the far side of the mountain range that divides Blastborn from the rest of the world, they are in the country of Vensay. As the progeny and relatives of exiles who were killed for unspeakable war crimes, Arabeth and her friends are soon targeted for death. The only thing keeping them alive is that the country seems to be falling apart, with power struggles and forces of nature keeping everyone distracted. Arabeth and her friends have their own problems. She wants to find the ones who sent the mind-altering automaton that set the people of Blastborn against each other.    Sam discovers the real reason they seem to pass unchallenged - there is no unified military or police force, instead relying on a regional Sherriff system and the politics that go with it, and he feels compelled to interfere.   Melanie is altered at the chemical level by a field of crystals and can't wake up.   Graham doesn't care about any of that - he has time-sensitive projects back home requiring his return and is willing to share the only secret protecting them in order to buy transportation out. And their one true ally is a teenager claiming to be the Heir Apparent and needing their help to unite the country. It'll be easy - they just have to put aside their individual goals and learn how to wield a forbidden power in a land that already wants them dead.   Still, they have to ask - why stay when, if they unite, they are still the progeny of a banished people with unknown enemies and the hangman's gallows swings only one snitch away? The world has abandoned them – shouldn't they do the same?   Arabeth would like to help, but she may be on her own for this one.
