When the dark spirit arrived shortly afterward, the beast knew the time wasn't right to take control. With the realization that victory would have been impossible came the decision to retreat once again. It was growing more powerful and wiser. The presence of the spirits had made it cautious. Each encounter taught it patience and something else. It would never be able to subdue Yemaya without the assistance of someone or something else.
"You need only ask," a dark, seductive voice whispered.
The beast snarled unhappily knowing it was true, but at what cost?
The End.

Les Gris (Fourth in the Illusionist Series).
Summary.
THEY WERE Les Gris, the Shadow People, and they are as much a part of us as we are them. As children, we talked to them, played with them and disclosed our innermost fears, secrets and dreams; and they patiently listened, comforted and encouraged us. In time, though, most humans outgrew their imaginary friends and eventually forgot them. For those few who didn't, humanity's very existence would be determined by the strength of the bond between a small group of women and their life partners, the Les Gris.
Saira (Fifth in the Illusionist Series).
Summary.
SAIRA WAS was a Traveler. Even her name meant "traveler." Her entire existence was dedicated to making the journey to seek answers to the questions that plagued her.

Warrior Demoness (Sixth in the Illusionist Series).
Summary.
SHE WAS SABNOCK, a demon, who, like the Phoenix, lived and died many times because she chose to live amongst mortals rather than spend eternity babysitting the legions of the Underlord. There were no longer battles to be fought in the Underworld so the ex-commander left her realm to live with the humans as human. Falling in love, she now had to choose between her vow to live and die as a mortal or love and live as a demon, not knowing if her lover could accept the truth. The wrong decision would condemn her to a life of loneliness and for a demon, life was eternity.
Solaria (Futuristic Science Fiction).
Summary.
THE FIRST awareness of existence was a chaotic flash of colors, meaningless and yet in an odd way logical; why, she wasn't sure. Birth is the most significant event in life, and yet it is never memorable; at least not for the newborn; but then she really wasn't a newborn, even though it was the first day of her life. She was 1A526, the first of her kind, an artificially intelligent blend of technology and bio-mechanics. Created to serve humans, Solaria and her AI programmer, Carley, soon discover the company funding the Hubot Project had more sinister motives. If Solaria were to fulfill the hopes of the woman who had given her existence meaning, she would have to become the human her programmer had dreamed of and take down Future Dynamicon, the company that created her.
