Sins of Our Ancestors

The new world is BROKEN. Nothing in Ruby's life has ever been black and white. Even after successfully accomplishing her mission to save Wesley, the danger isn't past, and neither are the difficult decisions. Solomon demands Ruby's return, but the Marked kids need her to stay with them. Their lives might even depend on it. Wesley begs her not to go, but it's not easy to ignore Solomon. Sam didn't come with them when they left the island, and ignoring a dictator's orders always leads to repercussions. Doing what Wesley asks might make things worse for everyone. No matter what she decides, some people will die. Ruby must decide who she loves the most, and what she's willing to sacrifice to keep them safe.

It's time to break FREE. The evil ruler of WPN has been vanquished, leaving a power vacuum in his wake. His departure also left the world in upheaval. Again. Because of her involvement in his removal, all eyes turn to Ruby. The struggle over WPN's new leader isn't Ruby's only problem, though. A powerful few still see the Marked kids as a threat and want them eliminated. Ruby's aunt is in even more danger than before, and the Marked themselves are tired of waiting to be saved. They're preparing to take action themselves, but it could make everything worse. Can Ruby uncover what really happened more than ten years ago before it's too late? Or will she be forced to choose between saving her family and those who have never had a champion?

When life makes you into the hero you never wanted to be. . . Now that the cure has been found and distributed, Ruby's ready to move ahead with the life she always wanted: small town, cute house, quiet job, with her boyfriend Sam by her side, of course. All she needs to do is foist the responsibility of ruling World Peace Now off onto her half-brother, Adam. Surely he'll rise to the task of caring for the people with whom he grew up. Sometimes that cape really starts to chafe. But Ruby's brother doesn't want to rule any more than she does, and the people of World Peace Now aren't too keen on being fobbed off. Ruby could just walk away, and a year ago, she would have. But now that she's grown an iron backbone, how can she leave the problems of the world to run and hide? When dangers begin to multiply, and Sam's clearly miserable dealing with them all, Ruby realizes she has a bigger decision to make. How many times is she really obligated to save the world. . .and what price is she willing to pay in order to do it?

For fans of the Sins of Our Ancestors Series, comes a novella about beloved side characters, Rhonda and Adam. Some love stories demand to be TOLD. Adam grew up without much family until he met Ruby. Once he found his sister, he never deviated from his support. Thick and thin, dark and light, he stayed true. But now that the world is saved, he's lacking in purpose. Rhonda's always known that her task, as an older sister, was to protect her siblings. She trained hard so she'd be ready to do whatever it took to keep them safe. But now that the worst is past, now that the major threats have all been eliminated, Rhonda's frustrated. What's she supposed to do now? After the world has been saved. . . Sometimes we survive the worst, only to realize we don't know how to live during peace. Can these two find their place in the world now that they've rounded the bend?
