Superpowered hybrids of alien species caught in a web of lies.
Exactly what science fiction should be...an excellently told story, several worlds to get lost in, and heaps of enjoyment.
-Emma
If you know the buzz phrase “showing, not telling,” this is it... Re-readable and an excellent choice.

Praise
for the RALI Series
The character interactions are fun, with plenty of banter, but time is also given to the more serious internal struggles...I highly recommend.
-Regina M.
We do not forget that they are aliens... The voice of the narrator, the characters, even the creatures are unique and compelling. As if that wasn’t enough, there are well written action sequences that can be easily imagined.
-Danielle D..

#1 Renegade
A superpowered hybrid of alien species.
A childhood of lies.
A foreigner who contradicts them all.
For Xlack Ekymé, life in the Napix Empire as a hybrid of two alien species comes with special abilities, historical figures for ancestors, and massive pressure to be perfect. When the emperor and his heirs die, Xlack accepts a mission in a region of space last visited in ancient history, where he flies into a web of alliances and feuds.
As order falls apart, a new emperor rises, while far away, Xlack's simple mission to rescue a lost ship and take a native hostage gets complicated. Navaria Twi shares part of his heritage and the uncanny talents that come with it, making her both dangerous and intriguing.
Lines blur until Xlack is no longer sure whose side he's on. He and all those left floundering in the wake of change are out of time to figure it out.
#2 Alliance
Found family and hidden heroes.
A past that won’t let go.
A chance to get everything back.
When Xlack Ekymé had nowhere to go, Navaria Twi’s team took him in. Like him, these Adjuvants are hybrids of the lost Magni race and possess extraordinary talents. Unlike him, they live in the dark nooks of Knalcal Alliance Space, believed to be myths by the worlds they protect.
The leaders do not trust Xlack, and suspicions grow when assassins from his homeworld appear. Among them is a friend he thought lost who will stop at nothing to get Xlack to come home.
With prodigies slain, children abducted, and Twi a target, Xlack dives back into the intrigues of the Napix Empire, where change eats away at the familiar. This time, he must publicly declare his loyalty. One choice can restore everything and save his homeland, but only if he abandons Twi.

Fitting in is hard.
Unexplained rashes don't help.
One month has passed since Xlack joined the Adjuvants, and now the leaders want him to prove this is where he belongs.

No one else can see it, but if it's all in his head why is it harming people in real life?
