As the suspense escalates, Illusion will intrigue those new to the genre as well as the avid science fiction fan.
"The most interesting and wonderful piece of this book is the flow.... As the pieces of the plot unfold, you are tossed around at guessing who is the true evil...." - Kelly Starsmore, Twin Cities Geek Magazine
Daith's father is dead. His death caused a rip in the galaxy's peace. The remains of his army are fighting to restore it.
But Daith knows nothing of this. Her memories have been stolen. She has been kidnapped. All she knows is that she has unparalleled abilities that could help end the devastation. Except without her past, how can she know if she's on the right side?
Time is running out, and Daith must choose - to search for who she was, or use her gifts to restore order.

Car-En, a ringstation anthropologist on her first Earth field assignment, observes a Viking-like village in the Harz mountains. As Car-En secretly observes the Happdal villagers, she begins to see them as more than research subjects (especially Esper, a handsome bowhunter). When Esper’s sister is taken by an otherwordly sword-wielding white-haired man, she can no longer stand by as a passive witness. Knowing the decision might end her career, she cuts off communication with her advisor and pursues the abductor into the mountains.

As if nearly burning up in a freak accident on her way to Earth wasn't bad enough, Daisy had a whole mess of other trouble on her plate. Big trouble. And she was going to get to the bottom of it if it was the last thing she'd do, which it was starting to look like it very well might be. The thing is, Daisy had a simple rule for space travel. Don't blow up, and so far she'd been managing to abide by that, but mere survival wasn't enough.

But when NASA recruits her to join a team of military scientists for an expedition to the Target, it's an adventure she can't refuse.
