About The Book
They live among us!
Independent journalist Beatriz da Costa is on her way to a secret meeting with a clandestine environmental group having vital information to share about a biotech company and its covert activities in the mountains just east of Seattle, Washington. As she arrives in the mountains and starts to hike into the wilderness, she makes a wrong turn and is attacked by birds, ravens and crows, as she ascends to the summit. A large black bird swoops down, seeming to attack her. The young woman loses her balance, falling into a ravine, crashing into a fallen tree rendering her unconscious.
She wakes up in the care of a strange family, the family of Xander Corvid, the President and CEO of a large international biotech conglomerate. Rather than treat her as a trespasser, she is welcomed by the tall, handsome man and his entire family. She remains on the mountain under their care until circumstances begin to cause her to wonder why she is being treated for injuries she doesn't have.
She senses something is amiss; the Corvid family senses something peculiar about her. By the time Beatriz leaves the mountain, her brother and father have become entangled in the intrigues and maneuverings of the Corvid family and their top-secret projects.
Who are they and what do they want with Beatriz and her family?
Enter Emily Cho, journalist for a major west coast newspaper who is following a story about the CEO, his family and his company. Complicating the matter, Emily was once romantically involved with Xander Corvid.
As these groups hurtle toward revelation of their existence to humanity, Xander Corvid must walk a tightrope between protecting his own species and uniting with ancient foes to protect all hybrid species from extinction.
As common threats are understood, a pan species meeting is called to confront common challenges and plan a defense against a new and even more ancient and evil enemy only recently discovered has been freed from confinement and captivity.
The plots are thick, the players are many and the outcome is uncertain. The challenges can only be overcome through unity. Can Xander succeed where all others have failed?
In the final battle, who will win?
They walk among us, unseen and unknown.
