    About this ebook

    In a future where Earth's survival hinges on a young woman's courage, Nira is caught in a fierce battle against alien invaders with a surprising appearance, masked by a semblance of familiarity. As the Phoenix Alliance, a rebel group dedicated to humanity's cause, faces its most challenging moment, Nira emerges as a symbol of hope.

      Acknowledgment

      First, I want to thank my God for the ability to reason, imagine, and write.

      This book would likely not have existed without the help of my online friends, so I would like to thank them especially. To Katie Michaelson, your kind heart remains an inspiration; to Obaditan ‘Oba’ Oluwakorede, I will always admire your writing prowess; to Justiss Goode, thank you for your stimulating interest in the story.

      To those who encouraged me (James Beaufait, Ann Skip, Stephen Dalton, and many others), thank you for believing this story could be made into a TV show or movie someday.

      I would also like to thank the publisher and editors for all their hard work.

      And thank you, dear reader, for your interest in this story. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.
