summary | Evangeline Plutarch. The girl that survived the birth of Kylo Ren. That was over ten years ago. After a chance meeting on the planet, Jedha, the two are reunited. It's the kind of bitter reunion that might be expected from a betrayal though... and it's not the first to come. Secrets of the past are unveiled as Snoke's first apprentice arrives, claiming his rightful place as supreme leader. The balance of the force is broken, bringing those secrets of the past to life. With the veil between worlds torn, it's up to the rebel alliance to mend the bond before its power can be abused to bring worse evil into the world.

summary | Maxine Jacobs never expected to witness the end product of the gods' meddling. Yet when a hole tore open over the midnight hues of the New York skies, her eyes were simultaneously opened to the wonders of the multiverse. Every tiny decision suddenly offered a thousand different branches that affected the outcome of her life. However, there's one thing that keeps her grounded. She realizes that one thing never changes no matter how many timelines she's subjected to watching. And that's the delicate red chords that tie one human life to another ... one day when she finds her courage, she'll even dare to follow her own heart string and discover who fate has placed on the other end.

summary | Juliet Stavros—or at least that was her name in this lifetime. She was the girl who had beaten time, rising time and time again to a fresh start every couple decades. She'd die, rise from the ashes, and start anew ... of course she didn't remember any of it. New life, new face, new memories. It was a pattern of deja vu that had repeated itself since practically the beginning of time. Perhaps a gift from the gods or a curse from the devil himself. But whenever she finds herself a step closer to answers, she's thrust back to the beginning to start from scratch. There's a common factor though, something that ties each life together: one man who acts as both her savior and condemnation. And once again she's found him, only this time on the streets of New York.

summary | 2012. The last few years have been pretty busy, but it's all nothing compared to what's to come. Humanity just couldn't leave the higher powers alone. The taste of playing God was just too much temptation. And so, the Tesseract project was born and simultaneously served as the symbol of humanity's downfall. Doors open from both sides. And when you knock loud enough, you're bound to receive an answer ... only they never expected an alien invasion to flood from the skies. So ... how do you stop an alien invasion? Some say with monsters, others say heroes. Nick Fury decided the world needed Avengers: a handful of super soldiers, spies, mutates, and aliens of our very own.

additonal | if you'd rather make a graphic for one of the other books in the Infinity Saga series, just let me know and I'll make an exception. I can also provide additional information if needed. (1) liberty & dreams, (2) red ledger, (3) marvelous, (4) ghosts, (5) warhorse, (6) s.t.r.i.k.e.

summary | Theresa Singer didn't have much of a childhood, but she did make the most of her young adult life. At twenty-four she was already making her way through the ranks of the FBI with a potential promotion in the works. However, her life plan quickly falls apart when introduced to a case of serial killers that originated in St. Louis. Suddenly, she and her sister, Delilah, are thrust deeper into the world of the supernatural than they'd ever anticipated. Sure, they'd taken a case here and there, but never had they faced a threat like demons... at least not since their mother died. Now their secrets of the past are being tossed out into the open and only the name Winchester is to blame.

summary | They say every action leads to another which is why time is a tricky thing. Now some people believe in fate, that if something is meant to happen, it will. However, there are others that believe fate can be changed and destiny is shaped. Scarlett Mason believed that a person had every right to chose their own path. She already had her own life planned out to a tea. She'd found Mr. Right, found a little piece of land within her budget, and was all ready to set out and make a life of her own. There's just one problem. Her father can't seem to let her go. One phone call changes everything and the next thing she knows, she's chasing a fugitive through time alongside a historian, a soldier, and a scientist to preserve everything she's worked so hard for. Every step they take creates risk because according to the butterfly effect: changing one thing changes everything.

summary | Juneaux understood that her luck would eventually run out. One could only add their name to the pot so many times before it was drawn: that's where the odds truly lie. However, the capitol's little slogan certainly rubbed salt into the wound as a single slip of paper practically announced her death. Hardly anyone expected the seventy-second hunger games to last nearly nine weeks, but during that time she may just find she has more fight within herself than originally anticipated.

summary | November 11, 2002. The boy simply referred to as number five got greedy. He grew overconfident and far too cocky. He wanted to see the world... he didn't plan to travel to the end of it. Nor did he plan to meet a girl. He didn't plan to become an assassin for the commission. He didn't plan to fall in love. He didn't plan to start a family. And it certainly originally wasn't his plan to go home and prevent the apocalypse in the body of his thirteen year old self.

summary | The game always had a way of calling out to those desperate enough to listen. It was like a siren's call: impossible to ignore and death was a guaranteed result. It didn't matter if you plugged your ears or hummed a different tune to block out the sound, the call always found a way in. Roni believed she'd bested the call. She'd thought if she ignored the primal desire just long enough, the sweet melodies would simply disappear. But she'd tasted adventure not once, but twice, and the call knows how to prey on its victims' weaknesses to form an addiction. Matt thought he'd outlived the fear that resulted from the call. However, it has a way of clearing the disillusions of reality. His fear didn't stem from the prospect of death, but rather the fact that survival depended on acting on the animalistic instinct humanity had tried to bury. They weren't the only two that the game called out to. There were dozens more that tried to suppress the sound, but they were the two that recognized the patterns of the game. They saw through the veil that presented the call as something appeasing. They saw the monstrosity for what it was... and perhaps that's why the game felt the need to evolve. It wouldn't be the first time it had undergone change to extend its temptations; however, this time would be different. To truly become one with the material world, it would have to destroy itself. But that's the way things are in a world where only the best survive. So, even the game had to abide by the call of the wild.

summary | Blood-ties between family and heritage are strong, even if you never really knew them. Lady Anne of the English courts was brought in and adopted by the royal family before she could even walk. Many viewed the merciful act as bizarre, but as the young lady grew in beauty and grace, all thoughts of her belonging were forgotten. It seemed that the royal family's graces were bound to come due though as the girl finds herself in a position of forming a peace treaty with one of their foreign relations. Running away from her betrothed on the day of her wedding, she finds herself kidnapped by a ragtag crew of pirates who plan to either auction her off or keep her hostage until a reward sum is posted. It doesn't help her odds when her brother is caught too, suddenly England might be without an heir as the two are dragged across the seven seas for the adventure of a lifetime.
