Sinopsis

The complete series about an alien species that could save humanity after nuclear apocalypse—or destroy it—from “one of science fiction’s finest writers” (The New York Times). The newest stage in human evolution begins in outer space. Survivors of a cataclysmic nuclear war awake to find themselves being studied by the Oankali, tentacle-covered galactic travelers whose benevolent appearance hides their surprising plan for the future of mankind. The Oankali arrive not just to save humanity, but to bond with it—crossbreeding to form a hybrid species that can survive in the place of its human forebears, who were so intent on self-destruction. Some people resist, forming pocket communities of purebred rebellion, but many realize they have no choice. The human species inevitably expands into something stranger, stronger, and undeniably alien. From Hugo and Nebula award–winning author Octavia Butler, Lilith’s Brood is both a thrilling, epic adventure of man’s struggle to survive after Earth’s destruction, and a provocative meditation on what it means to be human.  This ebook features an illustrated biography of Octavia E. Butler including rare images from the author’s estate.

    In the heart of Phoenix, an extraordinary tale of survival, mystery, and supernatural power unfolds. 
    Emily Heart, a fifteen-year-old homeless girl, is forced to navigate the treacherous streets of the city after a traumatic event leaves her with a unique and terrifying ability—she can jump through time. The blue fire that consumes her during these jumps leaves her naked, disoriented, and alone, thrusting her into a relentless cycle of survival. 
    Emily’s life takes a harrowing turn when she and her friend Junie, a twelve-year-old girl from the homeless shelter, become targets of a ruthless gang. As they flee for their lives, Emily's ability to see through the eyes of her pursuers gives them a slight edge, but it’s never enough to ensure their safety. The stakes are raised when they accidentally steal a backpack filled with money, making them the prime targets of the gang's wrath. 
    Caught in a web of danger and intrigue, Emily encounters Derek, a young gang member who seems out of place in his violent surroundings. Their connection is immediate and intense, but Emily's gift—or curse—of time jumping complicates everything. Each jump leaves her more vulnerable, the pain more unbearable, and her control over the jumps more tenuous. 
    As Emily struggles to protect Junie and herself, she uncovers a sinister connection to her past. The technology used by a mysterious orange-colored man with a briefcase is eerily similar to what she remembers from a horrific abduction in 1985. This man, and possibly others like him, are after her, determined to complete their experiments. 
    The narrative races against time as Emily, Derek, and Jim Miller—a former Marine turned investigative journalist obsessed with uncovering Emily's truth—try to stay one step ahead of their enemies. The story crescendos to a dramatic showdown that reveals the true extent of Emily’s abilities and the dark forces aligned against her.

    Sometimes it takes losing the one thing closest to a warrior’s heart to wake the beast that lives inside him… Saber, a wounded Trivator, believes he is no longer a fit warrior, much less strong enough to claim a mate. Scarred, he does everything in his power to push away the delicate human female he has fallen in love with. He knows that she deserves a warrior who can protect her, not one that will need her constant help. Taylor Sampson may be human, but that doesn’t make her weak. She and her two older sisters survived living on Earth for four years after their world went crazy. She is all grown up now and has her eye on the one stubborn Trivator that captured her heart seven years before. Taylor has one last requirement in order to complete her schooling. Once she finishes, she plans to show Saber that he is the man she wants, but when the planet she is on erupts into a civil war, she is trapped behind enemy lines. When Saber discovers that Taylor has been left behind, the warrior inside him refuses to think of her as collateral damage in a savage battle for power. Journey to a lawless, alien world and discover what happens when the beast awakens inside a damaged Trivator warrior when the woman he loves is threatened.

    This wasn't supposed to happen. 
     
     
     
    The gods should have agreed to fight the giants and let Ragnarök run its course and bring about the end of time. For a new world could only rise from the ashes of the old. But because the gods prophesied to die refused to take part, Yggdrasil—the World Tree—was forced to act before the stalemate led to the annihilation of the nine worlds and its very existence. 
     
     
     
    And so I was born. 
     
     
     
    One of the many seeds dispersed by the mighty World Tree, I was teleported through different planes and universes to find a new home where to settle. Eventually, I landed in a strange forest known as the Feverwood. However, this place is nothing like my home world. Here, there are no mighty Vikings or Valkyries, but humans, elves, orcs, and other strange creatures. 
     
     
     
    If I want to flourish and carry on the World Tree's legacy, I will have to grow my roots and expand my branches towards the sky. But if, at first, I rely on the ambient magic to power my growth, as my Mother did before me, I quickly learn that there's a far more efficient way . . .
