Or they may make it worse. Far worse.

No one predicts the abrupt and disastrous environmental changes of 2054.

In the early 2050s, the world watches as stunning technological and scientific achievements better humankind.

Human genetic therapy becomes widely available, abolishing most disease and genetic conditions. Genetic engineering replaces evolution’s role in advancing human capabilities. Evolution is relegated to the dustbin of history. Molecular biologists still study evolution using engineered viruses in highly contained labs.

More sensitive MRIs finally map and characterize all the circuits of a human brain. This map allows construction of the first fully sentient supercomputer. This miraculous development makes the world far safer by replacing illogical human decisions with logical computer thought.

These marvelous developments in unrelated fields are uniformly expected to dramatically improve life on Earth.

But these expectations prove drastically wrong. Unexpected consequences of these two advancements unleash the apocalypse.

DEVO is a near future, pre- and post-apocalyptic thriller packed with understandable technology, accelerating action, unexpected twists, and four distinct main characters, one a sentient computer. In a two-million-year romp, DEVO reminds us that technology has both upsides and downsides, and that our “advancement” depends on the environment. The end result raises the oft considered question of what it means to be human.

Bound in an unwanted marriage, Freya spends her days gutting fish, but dreams of becoming a warrior. And of putting an axe in her boorish husband’s back.

Freya’s dreams abruptly become reality when her husband betrays her to the region’s jarl, landing her in a fight to the death against his son, Bjorn. To survive, Freya is forced to reveal her deepest secret: She possesses a drop of a goddess’s blood, which makes her a shield maiden with magic capable of repelling any attack. It was foretold such a magic would unite the fractured nation of Skaland beneath the one who controls the shield maiden’s fate.

Believing he’s destined to rule Skaland as king, the fanatical jarl binds Freya with a blood oath and orders Bjorn to protect her from their enemies. Desperate to prove her strength, Freya must train to fight and learn to control her magic, all while facing perilous tests set by the gods. The greatest test of all, however, may be resisting her forbidden attraction to Bjorn. If Freya succumbs to her lust for the charming and fierce warrior, she risks not only her own destiny but the fate of all the people she swore to protect.

The Empire of Songs reigns supreme.

Across all the lands of Ixachipan, its hypnotic, magical music sounds. Those who battled against the Empire have been enslaved and dispersed, taken far from their friends and their homes.

In the Singing City, Xessa must fight for the entertainment of her captors. Lilla and thousands of warriors are trained to serve as weapons for their enemies. And Tayan is trapped at the heart of the Empire’s power and magic, where the ruthless Enet’s ambition is ever growing.

Each of them harbours a secret hope, waiting for a chance to strike at the Empire from within.

But first they must overcome their own desires. Power can seduce as well as crush. And, in exchange for their loyalty, the Empire promises much.

Can a love like theirs stand the test of time?
