From the Author
This book is the first of four in my "Ways of Power" series which is an amalgam of all the SciFi/Fantasy that I've ever been exposed to in my life. It brings together eugenics, advanced technology, magic, demons, elves, giants, love, pain, and laughter. I've also outlined a prequel and sequel trilogy that will deal with where these characters come from and where they are going. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it! I am humbled that you've even picked it up, and thank you for your valuable time.
