The Sword of Light: The Complete Trilogy

Aaron Hodges

A thrilling new scifi by New York Times Bestselling Author Aaron Hodges. For centuries, our evolution has stagnated. Surrounded by technology, we ceased to adapt. Until now. In 2051, the Western Allies States have risen as the new power in North America. Now a mysterious epidemic is spreading across the countryside, igniting terror wherever it touches. But its victims do not die – they change. People call them the Chead, and where they walk, destruction follows. Amidst the wealth of San Francisco, eighteen year old Chris is caught in the cross-hairs of the government when his mother is accused of treason. Spirited away in the night, he wakes in a facility hidden deep in the Californian mountains. There he must face the horrors of the Praegressus Project. Chances of survival are slim; but only the lucky get to die...

Renegades (The Praegressus Project)

Retaliation (The Praegressus Project)

There is no evolution without sacrifice. The weak must be eliminated, for the strong to rise. Devastated by Chris's death, Liz has taken to the streets of San Francisco in a one-woman war against the government. With nothing left to lose, she'll do whatever it takes to have her revenge. But even a genetically-engineered girl with wings has her limits, and Liz is up against an army. It's only a matter of time before her recklessness demands a reckoning. The question is - who will pay the price? Meanwhile, the scourge of the Chead, once a trickle, has become a deluge. Led by the ancient Talisa, hordes of the superhuman creatures are sweeping across the countryside, decimating towns and reaping bloody slaughter. Only the young are spared - so they might become Chead themselves. With refugees flooding the cities of the Western Allied States, the tyrannical government might just be humanity's last hope... The penultimate book of the Praegressus Project series by NYTimes Bestselling Author, Aaron Hodges.

Rebellion (The Praegressus Project)

A century since the departure of the Gods, the Three Nations are now united beneath the Tsar. Magic has been outlawed, its power too dangerous to remain unchecked. All Magickers must surrender themselves to the crown, or face imprisonment and death. Alana's mundane life has just been torn apart by the emergence of her brother's magic. Now they must leave behind everything they’ve ever known and flee – before the Tsar’s Stalkers pick up their trail. Tasked with hunting down renegade Magickers, the merciless hunters will stop at nothing to bring them before the Tsar’s judgement. As the noose closes around Alana and her brother, disgraced hero Devon finds himself at odds with the law when he picks a fight with the wrong man. The former warrior has set aside his weapons, but now, caught between the renegades and the Stalkers, he is forced to pick a side – the empire, or the innocent.

Oathbreaker (The Legend of the Gods)

Alana has been captured. She expected an agonizing death to follow, but instead, she now finds herself a guest of the Tsar. Locked away amidst the wealth and luxury, it isn't long before she learns the reason she was spared - her entire life has been a lie. Her true identity lurks within, chained by magic, but with promises of untold power. It terrifies her, and yet...she must know the truth. Meanwhile, ex-soldier Devon plans a fresh rebellion in Trola. But after carving his legend in the blood of their people, he's a marked man. He'll have to watch his step if he's to successfully negotiate the shifting tides of the Trolan cause - and not end up dead in the process. Either way, failure is not an option, because without an uprising, Alana will be lost to him forever... Grab this all new epic fantasy by New York Times Bestselling Author Aaron Hodges.

Shield of Winter (The Legend of the Gods)

Wounded and alone, Alana has escaped the clutches of the Tsar. She's determined to forget his world of conquest and dark magic, but fate has other plans. Alana finds herself face-to-face with her grandmother - the one person she loathes even more than the Tsar himself. With his forces closing in, the two must choose whether to tear each other apart, or work together to defy their common enemy. Meanwhile, Devon stumbles upon Alana's brother lost in the forest. Taking the boy under his wing, he learns the Tsar needs both siblings to accomplish his grand ambition: to control all magic. Devon is soon forced to make a stand, but can a mortal warrior truly defy the eternal strength of the Tsar?
