If only the virus that wiped out nearly all of humanity seven years ago had finished the job... Dev and the other remaining genetically Altered supersoldiers wouldn't be facing what could be their final days scraping by. Because of humans, they went from being science experiments to vermin-and today is the last straw. Their plan to finally end the fighting backfires, and now they face an even more frightening reality. The new human leader, Alessandra, doesn't want them dead. She needs their help. Alessandra's goal: get into the Ecodome, humanity's only chance for recovery. But the dome's automated security systems stand in her way. She offers Dev and his friends an opportunity to help the humans break through the defenses and, in exchange, start a new life free of prejudice. Dev, unsure if his decision will save his friends or just get them all killed, accepts. Alessandra (harboring hidden motives) must find a way to convince the supersoldiers that the problematic past of the Ecodome isn't what it seems. And, for the sake of his friends and their future, Dev must find it in himself to believe her. Bound to Ashes is a science fiction novel at 90,000 words and is the first in The Altered Sequence trilogy. Readers are saying: "You can't help but become connected to the characters through their journey and be drawn into the mystery of the Altered." "There is plenty of raw action and interesting plot turns in this book, but the shining feature is the development of the 'not quite human' characters that reveal the quintessential human struggles of self-identity, loyalty, and trust, and ultimately how to keep moving forward in the face of an uncertain future."
