The Unbroken

The Descendants Series Book 3

by Destiny Hawkins

Genre: New Adult Dark Dystopian Fantasy, SciFi

They said that the Monroe Academy Bootcamp Program was meant to break its trainees.

With one last attempt at proving her worth, she was counting on the worst.

The Bootcamp Program at Monroe Academy was Rayah’s last and only hope. Within just a few short months, she would have to display her abilities in front of the council and prove her strength. If she passed, she’d level up, but if she failed, then everything would have been for nothing.

The pain, the suffering, the training, the loneliness…the sacrifices…

Rayah was determined to make it all count, and now that she was able to manifest her light, it was time to take things to the next level.

The rookie vex signed up to take part in one of the most advanced training programs that the academy provided.

She knew that in breaking, it would be her last chance to unlock the mental barriers that blocked the path to her energy.

And she was willing to endure anything to make that happen.

Bestselling author Destiny Hawkins brings you the third installment of a gripping dark fantasy where a powerless girl must survive in a society that doesn’t accept the weak…or the defective.

The Calling

The Descendants Book 2

She was given a second chance to prove that she could manifest her powers.
She had no idea she’d have to hide them.

Ever since Rayah could remember, she had always been different from everyone else. Not only was she the prized daughter of the greatest collectors known to history, but she was also branded a null.

To the students of Monroe Academy, Rayah was a privileged failure. A lightless lighter. A worthless Lytonian. And if it weren’t for her parents, they would have been calling her a slave years ago.

In only a few months, Rayah had to present her abilities to the council and prove to them that she was worthy of walking the halls of the academy, but Major Artemis St. James, her tormentor and superior officer, would stop at nothing to keep her from excelling.

Failing the leveling meant becoming the property of the man who taught her the very meaning of pain.

It would have also made her mother’s sacrifice for nothing.

With the test date closing in, Rayah learned that she was able to use her powers at an elite level, but even though that meant she had power, it made her chances of leveling impossible. There was no way that she’d be able to prove her worthiness now.

The standard colors of a Lytonians powers are white, royal blue, and turquoise blue.

Rayah’s were black…

And she could only use them in the dark.

The Descendants

The Descendants Series Book 1

Fail the tests and become a slave. Display defectiveness and be put to death.

Monroe Academy was built to separate the weak from the strong.
*Pass the biyearly leveling and be released into society upon graduation.
*Fail to be promoted and be placed into servitude.

Branded as the academy null, these were the laws that applied to all but Rayah Bardeau. The Lighter with no light.

After Rayah’s mother made a devastating sacrifice, Rayah was given six years to make her required level. Now, with only a few months left to prove herself, she was still the same level she’s been since she was ten years old.

A level one.

Overwhelmed by the upcoming test, consumed by guilt, and wary of academy bullies, Rayah could only dream of escaping her world.

…And one night, her dream had come true…

Only, when Rayah reawakened in her dorm, she couldn’t distinguish if she had only dreamed of the defect from the wild-lands, or if she had somehow used her Lighter Form to jump there, and everything she experienced was real.

But only the elite ― the most powerful of Lighters ― could manifest their Lighter Forms. Right?

And what was the dark energy that lurked just beneath the surface? Would Rayah be able to soon claim the title of a lighter, or would she discover that she was something else entirely?

Uriel Through Eleanor

Unlike any memoir you’ve ever read.

As absurd as it is devastating.

A literal tug of war between competing and compelling versions of the truth.

Uriel Through Eleanor

by Brian Prousky

Genre: Historical Fiction

Uriel “Uri” Katz, World War Two veteran, concentration camp liberator, devout atheist, contrarian, cynic and lifelong bachelor, places an ad in a newspaper seeking a “typist” to assist him in writing his memoir and receives only one reply, from a woman, named Eleanor, who negotiates a deal with him that includes room and board.

Within days of her arrival, Eleanor begins inserting herself into Uri’s story. So much so that she eventually becomes one of its main characters. And while Uri is dismayed and, at times, exasperated by this turn of events, he’s also grown accustomed to Eleanor’s company and cooking, and, as such, begrudgingly puts up with the semi-appropriation of his memoir.

Though what remains imperceptible to Uri—until the novel’s final, thrilling pages—is that Eleanor’s appearance in his life wasn’t coincidental; it was manufactured by her. And that the two have been intricately linked since the day he marched into the concentration camp.

Brian Prousky’s dazzling new book is memoir-writing turned on its head. It’s a story about storytelling itself. About the power of language to shape and misshape history. And about the equal perils of sharing and not sharing deep-held secrets.

Brian Prousky spent most of his life as two distinct people. The first held a day job and raised a family and was public and sociable. The second ruminated over sentences and wrote books in secret and dreamed of a living a literary life. They shared little in common, mostly their obsessions: Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Mozart, Saul Bellow, Roberto Bolano, tennis and hockey.

Somehow, summoning up a kind of courage or resolve he’d assumed was absent from his DNA, the first Brian Prousky left his day job, revealed his secret and dedicated himself full-time to writing. And the two Brian Prouskys became one. Now the author of five novels, a collection of short stories and two books of poetry, he lives and works in Toronto, where most of his characters, who struggle with secret and often conflicted lives of their own, and who never quite fit in, do as well.
