Initiation

A Novel 

The enormity of the world’s wickedness was something that weighed on Shiloh’s shoulders, as though she should be the one to answer personally for all the grief in the world. Maybe it was because she should, having been a member of those responsible for inflicting suffering on others for so long.

It’s been three years since Shiloh Weiss escaped the Celsus Dios Order, a secret society that controls the world’s wealthy, famous, and powerful.

No one escaped the CDO. Not alive anyway. Shiloh knows she serves the God of Impossible Things, but she realizes that the freedom she has found may not last for long.

Shiloh soon makes a shocking discovery: she has a brother who is being coerced into joining the same organization. This revelation leaves her facing an impossible decision.

Escaping the CDO herself was nothing less than a miracle. But getting someone else out? Impossible.

Or is it?

Get Samuel. Get out. Never come back.

Retribution

Book #2 in the Initiation Series

Shiloh has done a lot of stupid things in her life.

Rejoining the Celsus Dios Order—a secret society that controls the world’s rich and powerful—to rescue her brother was one of them. 

But agreeing to work with the Network, a crime syndicate, to kidnap the son of the CDO’s president might be at the top of her list.

Injured, alone, and haunted by the threat of her deadly genetic mutation, Shiloh is left with no choice but to join forces with the Network in exchange for their help in finding Samuel. However, their intentions are surprising when she learns that the Network’s leader is being held hostage by the CDO.

Kidnapping Grey Hyland to trade for the Network’s leader was never part of Shiloh’s plan, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Or so she tells herself.

Despite being faced with her deadly fate, Shiloh vows to do whatever it takes to get the Network’s leader back, but she quickly learns there’s a fine line between stupidity and bravery.

Demolition

Book #3 in the Initiation Series

How does one eradicate a wicked organization entrenched in every corner of the world?

That is a question Shiloh Weiss has asked herself for three years.

Except, it’s not a question anymore. Shiloh has vowed that she will personally demolish the Celsus Dios Order.

That is, if she survives the genetic mutation threatening to take her life. If she makes it to David’s research base in time. If he even has the cure.

Meanwhile, Samuel also shares the resolution to see the downfall of the Order, but he soon comes face to face with everyone’s darkest fear: The Order gaining access to David’s world-changing research.

The worst part? It’s all their fault.

But Samuel knows they serve the God of Impossible Things, and if there’s still breath in their lungs, they will do whatever it takes to demolish the Order. Even if it’s the last thing they do.

The Murphy Experiment

My name is Oriel Murphy. There are three things you should know about me.
I am a nobody.
I will never bow to the god that is our government.
I was the sole survivor of a bioterrorist attack that turned my genome into a scientific breakthrough of the century. Against my will.
I never asked for this. The only thing I wanted to do was run from my past and build a new life, a Messianic Jew living in the gutters of Boston. Scrambling to find my footing in a heartless world where genetic editing is illegal.
But my world as I knew it imploded when I started developing abnormalities. The doctors told me I was fine, but I was not fine—since when were lightbulbs so loud and walls so easy to climb?—and I’m faced with the Agency whose job is to eliminate prohibited gene editing projects.
They said I was a loose cannon, a danger to society, a land mine in the making that needed to be contained. And this guy, Jonah Trusov, a deaf agent, keeps telling me I have to trust the Agency, but I can’t trust anyone when my very existence becomes a crime in this society.
Your history books won’t mention me. My name has been scrubbed from every medical journal and media outlet. But I’m here. You better believe I’m here. I’m the weed growing from the cracks in the pavement. Resilient. Persistent. Stubborn. You can’t get rid of me, even when you try.
My name is Oriel Murphy… and I never meant to set the world on fire.
