Pages : 237
Book Description
A top-secret international military organization, known only as ROOT works from the shadows to protect the delicate balance of world peace. With eighty hidden bases and thousands of gifted agents in their employ, ROOT is an unstoppable force. Agent Wraith is a human with a very special and unique gift. As a reincarnated priestess, she can use her spiritual powers to track the souls of those that she has previously come in contact with. Wraith lives for her work and has become the youngest team leader in the Reconnaissance Department. Assigned to use her special powers to pursue a rogue colleague, codenamed Sleeper, she sets out alone to capture him. Agent Fang is a modern-day werewolf that has worked for ROOT for over fifty years. Gifted with an incredibly long lifespan and an accelerated healing factor, he has the appearance of a thirty-year-old man although he is over five-hundred. Recently assigned to cover Wraith from the shadows, he realizes that she is eerily familiar to him… a little too familiar. Her appearance and scent is one that he’d never encountered before. But, her soul is reminiscent of a woman’s that he had once so desperately loved and lost, and it instantly awakens the beast within. This work contains sexually explicit scenes between consenting adults, descriptive violence, and foul language. R.O.A.L Series Synopsis Enter a world of supernatural fantasy set in a modern-day, fast-paced setting. ROOT, a secret organization that does not align itself with any of the world’s many governments, is a militant group comprised of spies, soldiers, scientists, doctors, hackers, and assassins. Specializing in finding gifted beings to join their ranks, ROOT employs their assistance to aid in their global mission of protecting world peace. There are over eighty secret bases spread throughout the world and thousands of sleeper agents posing as simple civilians within ‘normal’ everyday societies. Upon signage with ROOT, the real-world identities of each agent are erased from society, effectively making them ghosts of people who never were, true remnants of another life. And only the most elite of agents make up departmental specialty teams units — enter ROOT’s infamous Reconnaissance Alpha Team. The Remnants Of Another Life series combines elements of Mission Impossible and X-Men with a heavy dose of smoldering romance tightly woven in-between. Missions are fast-paced, dangerous, and often violent. Agent off time is often humorous, and character reflective. Take the journey with agents Wraith and Fang as they try to navigate through their complicated relationship in a world where antagonists usually have the best intentions and the decisions to ‘harm to protect’ usually come with an unsettling moral price. In the ROAL world, nothing is ever clearly black or white and like reality, peace never seems to last for very long. REVIEWS “I’m SO excited that you’re making this a series! I almost thought the ending was abrupt, but it all makes sense now! But I can’t wait to read about upcoming ROOT adventures and relationship developments! I look forward to your future installments and shall be waiting patiently! Thank you for taking the time to write this and sharing it with us!” —Ashley B., Reader. “Your story is very thrilling and exciting to read, I haven't read such a good story set in the modern era for a very long time and your setting is fantastic, it reminds me a bit of James Bond!I love the action and interaction its gives the story a nice flow. Looking greatly forward to your next update to see what happens next…” —Anonymous, Reader. ”God, I love this story!” —Brittany Perry, Reader.
