Storyline of Book 1: UNCONQUERED
Adopted from China as an infant, Victoria Solana celebrates her sixteenth birthday as an average Canadian teenager growing up in a small, inconspicuous town in southern Ontario. Out of the blue, her peaceful world turns topsy-turvy. She must run from two armed men-in-black and an intimidating one-eyed stalker in relentless pursuit. Guided by a shady art dealer, she embarks on a dangerous journey to China to uncover the truth about her mysterious background. Victoria discovers her biological mother was a warrior in historical China, and her father was the chief of an influential nomadic tribe. They were separated from one another by thousands of years. Moreover, she learns about a secret clan which has been intervening in pivotal historical events since ancient times. They believe in an oracle about a cataclysmic catastrophe called the Stopping of the Sun. The Apocalypse is at hand, and the secret clan believes Victoria is the long-awaited saviour. Time is running out, and humanity’s survival depends on the Canadian teenager evading her pursuers and reuniting with her parents. To Victoria's surprise, she realizes she must achieve the impossible feat of stopping hundreds of millions of aliens from taking over Earth. This science fiction/historical mystery evokes the spirit of Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang (made into the sci-fi movie Arrival) and The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin (adapted into a mini-series on Netflix) on steroids. As a bonus, the reader will become an expert on China. Get your copy now. Carpe Liber—seize the book!
