IN THE YEAR 2010, an alien virus nearly wiped out the human race. A thousand years later, mankind has recovered and ventured into space. There has been no sign of the aliens since. Humanity remains confined to the Solar System.

All that is about to change.

Mazzy Webber is a lowly janitor on a third-rate cargo ship. Deeply in debt, when his captain decides to turn pirate, he leaps at the chance.

A modern Robin Hood—minus the part where he gives back to the poor—Webber lays down a few ground rules. No attacking manned ships, and no stealing from anyone who can’t afford it. Within months, he and the crew are out of debt. Their next target will make them rich.

But the attack goes all wrong. The target’s cargo could be the death of them—or it could be the key to reaching the stars.

She was created by genetic engineering. Now they want her dead.

In a society where the genetically enhanced rule all, Brie Melrose only ever wanted to blend in.

Unfortunately, for a girl with a secret past, hunted by the authorities, and hidden by her guardian who raised her as an orphan, that’s impossible.

Life in Outer Haven, where the Unenhanced live, is simple for Brie. Care for the other orphans. Keep her head down. And above all, don’t attract unnecessary attention.

One day, however, a routine job turns into something much more, and Brie finds herself under the watchful eye of the Savants, the highest order of the Enhanced.

Blessed with supreme intellect, they consider emotions to be pointless.

And, in some cases, dangerous…

Soon, she is to be invited into Inner Haven, the sanctuary of the Enhanced where she’ll come into contact with some strange and dangerous people.

People who want things from her.

People who know things about her past.

And before long, threats she never even knew existed will begin to close in, and Brie will learn that her world, and the city of Haven, isn’t quite what she thought it was.

And neither is she…

1. The Enhanced
2. Hybrid

An evil omen clouds the sky. A song of power returns. Can one man’s quest save the world?

Voran, a young warrior of Vasyllia, lives in a dying world. As blight ravages the countryside and darkness covers the sun, he can’t avoid hearing the rumors of an ancient spirit that devours souls. He feels powerless to fight the oncoming devastation until a mythical creature entrusts him with a long-forgotten song. Legend has it that such a song can heal the masses, overthrow kingdoms, and raise humans to divine beings…

Armed with the power of the song, Voran must hunt down the dark spirit before it achieves its goal of immortality. His quest takes him through doorways to other worlds and puts him on a collision course with seductive nymphs and riddling giants. With each step of the journey, the strength of the villainous spirit grows, as does Voran’s fear that the only way to save his world… is to let it be destroyed.

The Song of the Sirin is an epic fantasy retelling of the Russian fairy tale Prince Ivan and the Grey Wolf. If you like complex characters, creative twists on mythology, and cinematic world-building, then you’ll love Nicholas Kotar’s sweeping tale.
