Double Helix Case Files

Her destiny collides with a man who can kill with a touch... Thirty years into the First Genetic Revolution, society's tolerance for human derivatives is wearing thin. Clones and in vitros are regarded with suspicion, and mutants with resentment. Yet in spite of the hostile environment, some alpha telepaths-like Miriya Templeton-have thrived. Not for much longer... Destiny has set her life on a collision course with Danyael Sabre, the alpha empath who can kill with a touch. Whether he becomes friend or foe, whether he and she live or die, will depend on the choices she makes. On her decisions hang the outcomes of the Second Genetic Revolution. Miriya does not believe in destiny, nor want any part of the revolution, but she will risk everything to save a beloved friend, even if it means returning home to New Orleans. The decadent elegance of the Mardi Gras krewes conceal treachery and brewing death. It's too much for a novice like Miriya. Natural talent and courage won't save her. Conviction might, but first, she has to decide what to believe in...and who to fight for... Miriya is a standalone "prequel" novella to the Double Helix series-award-winning futuristic thrillers, perfect for X-Men, Heroes, and Alphas fans.
