    Summary

    Life is tough for a high-school student. On the outside, Benjamin Finch is a smart, quiet kid who enters his senior year just wanting to avoid the bullies and escape the system alive--on the inside, he's a free spirit, dreaming of the day he can live a life of real adventure. When he inadvertently saves a punk rat from expulsion, she takes him on a path of rebellion and self-destruction, putting him up against skaters, goths, drug dealers, and all the administrative bureaucracy that Saint Carver High School has to offer.

    As the mayhem grows, and chaos overtakes the school, the students react, the bullies retaliate, and the system resists. Every risk has a consequence.

    Some birds were never meant to fly.

    Summary

    Humanity is gone. In their shadow remain the hybrids, mammals spliced with mankind's DNA and left to inherit their ashes. With no point of reference but their precursors, they've taken on the same violence and vices that led to man's ruin.

    Some hybrids refuse to let that be their race's fate. Algernon is one such creature, working under the agents of law who seek to purify the land of its corrupt. He has lived his whole life searching for a precursor artifact said to bring the world peace with one key turn, and when the crew he's part of finally find it Al hopes that all of the effort he's put into the endeavor will have been worth it. Fate, however, has other plans.

    Summary

    Vincent Cordell, a college student with schizophrenia, doesn’t want to be different. He just wants to lead a normal life, something his condition has never let him have. Voices whisper, walls bleed, eyes sprout in strange places. Getting a degree in electrical engineering is hard enough without worrying about falling into the abyss of his own madness.

    But one dark night, the abyss pulls him in...

    A supernatural entity strikes, and a simple car accident becomes anything but as Vincent finds himself thrust into a majestic, alien world where dragons stand on two legs, living and dying like men. And, thanks to a painful, impossible transformation, he is now one of them, stuck in a body he doesn't even know how to use.

    An ancient evil stirs. Strange storms leave terrors in their wake. The natives of this world think Vincent has the power to save them. But he doesn't want anything to do with them or their myths. Dragons and prophecies are the products of a broken mind...aren't they?
