    About this ebook

    Earth no longer belongs to humans. It was stolen right out from under them by the Merus. They look and act human, but actually came from another world. The things they're capable of doing, their paranormal talents are what drove mankind to run and hide in hopeless defeat.

    But Nora refuses to run away. All she has is hope. It's what fuels her fight to get back everything the Merus took from her. For the light of her life, she won't stop until she gets it all back.

    Author

    M.S. Fowle

    M.S. Fowle was born and raised in Maine and continues to live there with her family. On the surface, she's an average American wife and mother, balancing life and work in blue jeans and sneakers. But she actually tends to favor the strange and unusual, mostly by way of fantasy and science fiction books and films. She also prefers dogs over cats and has an uncharacteristic animosity towards clowns.

      PROLOGUE

      I WAS ONLY A baby when it happened. I didn't know the panic that had swept over the world that day. A large sphere, about half the size of the moon, was discovered traveling through space and it was headed straight for Earth. A global killer – the end of the world was on its way. Then, as it approached, it suddenly slowed and merely stopped to orbit around our terrified planet. People scrambled to figure out what to do next, but they ran out of time. Exactly one day after it arrived, that strange orb in space simply vanished, leaving everyone on Earth baffled. It would remain a mystery for decades.

      At last, one fateful day, the leaders of the world synchronized a global address. They announced they had come here from that mysterious object in the sky more than twenty-five years ago and their numbers were already spread across the lands, living and looking like any other human being. Long since before the broadcast, they had occupied nearly every top corporate, government, and military office throughout the world. They were the Merus and they had total power over Earth. Humans were now obsolete.

      While some of us ran and hid, the rest went to war. Facing the Merus, however, was like nothing we could have imagined. They could do things… things that could have only been conjured up from the depths of fiction. So even though we outnumbered the Merus five to one, it didn't take them long to execute a full occupation of the planet. After two years of all out war, many of us had given up hope.

      CHAPTER ONE

      IT'S USUALLY WHAT WE hold most dear that we too often take for granted. It's not until it's gone, until it's taken from us that we realize we would do anything to get it back. As we long to mend the wounds left behind, we struggle to find some way to go on.

      I guess it could've happened to anyone. I used to be such a simple young woman. I had a house, a small family, a mediocre job. It was all relatively average, but I was happy. Yet there I was with a gun in my hand,
