As Darwin compiles evidence, parts of his own past settle into new arrangements, and he begins to recognize that the case may ravel him into a chaos of identities.

Excerpt Aristia could not help but stare at the platinum blonde a few steps in front of her. She seemed to sparkle with a glow that drew people in around her. Something that only happened to the main character of a novel. [Is that stupid book sure I'm the female lead?] She thought, her jaws almost going slack. At this point, she was sure she was deluding herself— or the book was deluding her. She didn't know why, but she already disliked the girl. [This is definitely not jealousy.] She rubbed her brows, watching how the innocent, naive looking girl exuding female lead aura was being flocked around already by others despite her low status. "F*ck, I'm really in deep shit!" — Aristia Andrews had just returned home from work and prepared to go to sleep, when she was given a novel. Nothing strange about that though, huh? But just after she had completed the novel, she woke up to find herself tossed into a whole new world. Taken from her world and the life she deemed perfect, and tossed into a not-so-ideal world. She becomes Aristia Amberale, the beloved five year old daughter of the only Grand Duke and Imperial Prince of the kingdom, said to be loved by all in the kingdom. Now part of royalty, she has to get accustomed to living in a backward world of Kings and Queens, Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts and Barons. Just the titles and hierarchy were enough to make her smart head spin. With beautiful and loving parents and relatives, a hopelessly adorable younger brother who just might be a sis-con, loyal-to-the-death servants, and a smart brain, join Aristia as she enjoys eating and making delicious cuisines, forms unique friendships, and creates successful businesses. However, she finds all is not as she thought it was; there just might be something bigger than she expected that the book did not reveal— something that could turn her well balanced world upside down. First of all, she discovers that her character is actually hated and not loved. Then, she finds out she's not really the female lead. Now... she has a lot of mysteries surrounding her to unfold, secrets to uncover, and a sad fate to avoid. But... "Hey, why are you looking at me with those eyes? The female lead is over there." "You, stop following me around, will you? You're supposed to hate me!" "Stay back, all of you! What's wrong with you?!" But most importantly... why are these obviously important characters not leaving her alone? And why was the cold, unloving soon-to-be Emperor husband of that powerful Empire paying attention to her instead of the female lead? It wasn't supposed to be like this...

In a world smaller than ours, walled by stone and ruled by steel, fourteen kingdoms fought endlessly to stand above the rest. For centuries, their wars raged until two hundred years ago, when Blitz, a western nation, rose to dominance with a military unlike any the world had ever seen. By the year 1100, Blitz had crushed its rivals and ruled as the largest and most advanced nation alive. Peace followed, but uneasily. Whispers claimed Blitz's soldiers wielded unnatural power, strength no mortal should possess. Power used to bend nations to their knees. Then came the vanishings. Villages gone overnight. Towns emptied of life. Survivors spoke of monsters crawling through the dark, of blood and shadows. Others blamed rival kingdoms. None knew the truth, only that war was coming. Far from the capital, deep in the forgotten forests at Blitz's edge, lay a small village untouched by politics or power. There, two sixteen-year-old boys hid a secret of their own—unnatural strength. Monstrous strength. A power that should not exist. And soon, their world was about to burn.

I am the Deathless black snake, residing in Ursus—a young and promising immortal. I possess neither the overwhelming power of a Feranmuts, nor the corrupting presence of a Collapsals, nor the limitless adaptability of the seaborn. Though I carry strange memories, I pale in comparison to the ancient elders who have lived for millennia. My only dream is to die peacefully. I adopted a foolish child who constantly goes against me, always trying to drag me into dying alongside her. I have a nerdy pen pal who enjoys sending me landscape paintings, though I can’t help but feel she’s completely out of touch with the times. I once met a silly hunter who asked if I wanted to return to the sea with her. I declined—something inside her unsettles me, and I despise tentacles. I’ve financially supported a young, promising entrepreneur who insists on working as a guard officer despite having her own company. How strange—have these short-lived species grown so introspective? Lately, I’ve heard about a shady medical company employing both children and the elderly. If I ever catch them, it won’t end well. And for some reason, my female characters have been dying off inexplicably. Even women I know would beat me up whenever I use a female character, despite my confidence in my own taste. An immortal like me, kind and gentle, should be allowed to die peacefully.

“The machines conquered the world. What they can’t conquer is the dream that makes us human.” In the distant future of the multiverse, where AI rules the Earth, humans are slaves. The machines are logical, ruthless, and immortal — yet they are haunted by their lack of true consciousness. A group of human rebels devises a daring plan to exploit that weakness by convincing the machines that they can gain consciousness by reliving the emotionally charged combat experience of real WW2 fighter pilots. A sophisticated illusion that gives the rebels vital time to delay a machine offensive to destroy humanity. Later, the war becomes not just a physical but a spiritual conflict between good and evil, and the same team of rebels returns to a future alternative world, almost identical to the original. It is here that their leader, David, must identify and kill the Satanic personification of evil who lives in this world, disguised as an ordinary man. Guided by the mysterious Lingzhe—beings who understand that mind, not logic, birthed the universe—they must battle not only Satan but also the AI machines who have become his agents. In this evolutionary war between man and machine, good and evil, there can only be one winner. ALSO SEE THE PREFACE AND THE PROLOGUE *** Copyright. A. McCaffrey.
