Two worlds. One glass wall. No turning back.

The human race has been divided. The chosen few live in the safety of the domes, watching through their glass walls as those left on the outside suffer and die. But desperation has brought invention. New drugs have the ability to alter humans, giving them the strength to roam the poisoned night unafraid—but survival comes at a terrible price.

Seventeen-year-old Nola Kent has spent her life in the domes, training to protect her little piece of the world within the glass. The mission of the domes is to preserve the human race, not to help the sick and starving.

When the fate of an outsider child falls into her hands, Nola dares to venture beyond the security of her home, diving into a world of darkness and vampires. Life within the glass didn’t prepare her for the realities of suffering or the depth of forbidden love.

The year is 3790. In the galactic region just beyond Cooperative territory lives a brutal warrior race.

Hapker, new and unsure of his position as second in command, risks both his career and his crew by taking charge of them. His struggle between what is right and what is necessary intensifies as every option threatens to ignite a war.

Though young, Jori promises to be the greatest Dragon Warrior in history. His fighting skills are already better than those of his older brother. He is profoundly intelligent, and he has other skills that even the emperor himself doesn’t have. His only weakness is his sentiment. As the emperor’s dream of dominance comes closer to fruition, Jori’s struggle between morality and familial duty threatens the course of many lives, including his own.

This Kirkus-starred speculative thriller is currently a finalist in the Wishing Shelf Awards, a semi-finalist for the scifi Cygnus Award, and runner-up in the Independent Press Awards (Action/Adventure).

A character-driven epic set in 2094, the alien Xirfell have assumed control of Earth, but remain harassed by the Resistance. This is the story of one member of the Resistance – a young man with a messy past and a chip on his shoulder, and how he struggles with his past and himself to triumph.

Kirkus Reviews: “Aiden’s energetic narration and darkly comic humor recalls Nick Harkaway. The action scenes are excitingly unpredictable, and also have an emotional element, as brave characters face mortal danger from truly cruel and evil beings. Taylor handles Aiden’s growth toward humble self-knowledge in a moving and believable manner. Thoroughly entertaining and imaginative.”
