BLURB:
We are the
generation that laughs at death.
Reincarnation;
what was once considered a gift of immortality has become an eternity of nightmares.
Nadia
Richards lives in a world plagued by reincarnation, a system of recycling souls
where all past memories, personalities and traumatic events are relived daily
in disjointed sequences. Trapped within their own warped realities, not even
the richest and most powerful are saved from their own minds unraveling.
Madness is the new human nature, and civilizations are crumpling beneath
themselves trying to outrun it.
Within a
society that ignores death, Nadia appears to be the one exception to the
reincarnation trap. Born without any reincarnated memories and with printless
eyes, the hot tempered 19 year old quickly becomes the ultimate prize to all
those wishing to end the vicious cycle, or for some, to ensure they could evade
death forever.
Readers
discretion: Adult language, violence and some adult scenes. For mature
audiences only.

Excerpt:
The
world had turned to waste; immortality was never meant for man and it drove
humanity to the edge of destruction. There had been plenty of stories about how
the human race would end. Unlike the movies from Hollywood, there was no big
bang caused by a sun exploding; there was no catastrophic moment where our
world was flipped upside down like in a nuclear war or zombie virus outbreak.
It was gradual, like a seeping virus that withered everything within its path
until it ground us down into brittle, hollowed out cores. It wasn’t out to
destroy our bodies; it destroyed everything we once treasured. Hope, love,
compassion, joy… even our mortality. It was all gone. And now it mocked us with
a peace we could never achieve: death.
I
kept my hand behind me, ensuring Annie was safe before slowly creeping out. The
steady thump of the Sweepers had almost gone silent as they walked further away
down the block, but it was Annie’s sudden scream that spun me around. A dark
shadow stepped up behind us just as a snap of red crossed my vision.
No!
Before I had time to jerk my head away, the Sweeper lurched forward and snared
me by the shoulder. My body seized underneath its grip as it hoisted me up from
the ground.
“Run,
Annie! Run!”
Annie
squealed and pressed herself up against the building. “Nadia?”
“Just
run!” I screamed as the robot reached over and took the shotgun from my hand.
It crushed the barrel easily before finding the pistol in my back pocket. It
smashed that one, too.
In
its inhuman static voice, the machine said, “Corrupted identification code
detected. Blacklisted threat. You are under arrest.”
“I’m
not one of them!” I screamed as I wrestled in its grip. “Let me go. I’m not one
of them!”
