Some secrets are buried in blood. Some powers are born in shadows. And some awakenings demand you question everything you thought you knew about who you are.

All Samantha Riley wanted was to survive high school, plan her sweet sixteen, and keep the peace with her best friend. But the night she sees her mother’s double and hears her own name whispered from two places at once, her reality fractures. Then she discovers the impossible truth: she and her twin brother, Stone, were created, not born… and they can become anyone.

As they search for answers, their gifts twist into something dangerous. A vanished scientist haunts their past. A stranger knows too much. And someone somewhere is hunting them both.

Because Samantha’s power isn’t just evolving. It’s the key to a secret others will kill to control.

Altered Awakening, book one in the Altered Series, is a pulse-pounding YA sci-fi thriller of hidden identities, family secrets, and the terrifying moment you realize you were never ordinary at all.
