However, when Nualla’s abusive ex corners her in the deserted hallway of their elite San Francisco private high school, will Patrick finally find the courage to speak up?

The Storm behind Your Eyes
Book Two
Almost dying on his wedding day might have been the easy part.
For eighteen years, geeky artist Patrick Centrina thought he was alone. Normal. Human. That things like super-tech and daemons where just fantasy. Now he knows that none of those things are true. However, if he wants to keep the parts or his old life he treasures most, he’ll have to become an expert liar, and quick. Because his new-found abilities are already starting to leak through his human facade. Patrick’s walking a precarious line between his two lives where one misstep could put the people he cares about in danger, or worse expose their heavily guarded secrets to the world.
Since his family was murdered by the Kakodemoss when he was six, reclusive tech genius Travis Centrina has been adrift within Kalodaemon society. Alone. Isolated. Helpless. Secretly blaming himself for being unable to protect his family. Now, years later, Travis once again has something worth protecting—his best friend Nualla, and Patrick, the little brother he thought was dead. But if past events prove anything, it’s that the people closest to him seem to find their way to the top of the Kakodemoss’ hit list. If he wants to safeguard those he holds most dear, it’s going to take every ounce of his ability. But will even that be enough? And will he be able to break his own heart to ensure it is?
A storm is brewing in Karalia, but will the Centrina boys have what it takes to save their home and the people they love? Or are the dark shadows of the past already closing in to swallow them whole?
The other side of truth
book three
Is there really any way to ask forgiveness for trying to end the life of the person you love?
Nearly everything about Patrick’s life has been a lie orchestrated by the Kakodemoss. The same group that murdered his parents, turned him into a cybernetic assassin, and performed untold experiments on him for fifteen years. Experiments that have left him unsure where the fabricated Patrick ends and where the true one begins. Or if there even is one. But if he is ever to make amends for the unthinkable act he committed against Nualla, Patrick will have to accept that he’s a deadly weapon that can kill…and probably already has. That as much as he’s a victim, he’s also a monster hiding behind an unassuming smile. But is there truly any way to ask forgiveness for trying to end someone’s life? And if there is, is it already too late?
Travis Centrina didn’t ask for Parker to walk into his life. But she did, and he’s scared to death that screwing things up with her might lose him his one last chance at happiness. However, as much as he believes she might be his One, there is also no denying that fact that she, along with Patrick and Nualla, are keeping secrets from him. And if the events of the past have taught Travis anything, it’s that secrets get people killed. But as he investigates the dark mysteries of the past, Travis begins to realize that the people closest to him are far more deadly than he could have imagined. And that to ensure the safety of Karalia he may be forced to betray the ones he loves.
Can the Centrina boys unravel the dark secrets of the past in time? Or will everyone they care about meet the same fate as those they have already lost?
