AQUILA [Book 1 + 2 Complete]
novel
Twenty one. That’s the age when everything changes. Everyone manifests a symbiont, a creature invisible to all but its host that shapes their destiny in a rigid world. Conrada "Conrad" Dorrien harbors a dangerous secret: she alone can see everyone’s symbionts. But revealing her gift could trigger a buyout of her contract, separating her from family and friends, and placing her at the mercy of ruthless corporations. Best case she ends up a lab-rat in some R&D project, worst case a weapon to a private military contractor. As manifestation approaches, Conrada hopes for a life within the sanctuary of academia following in her father’s footsteps and providing refuge from the confines of her serfdom. But she fears her extraordinary connection to the symbionts means she’s destined for anything but easy obscurity. All it takes is a single word. Classified. Conrada finally learns what happens when bidding wars between recruiters erupt at manifestation when she becomes the latest acquisition by Aquila Operations, a boutique corporate consulting firm. No corporate mergers, land acquisitions, or balancing budgets here. Conrada joins a team known for their unorthodox methods and a reputation for always getting the job done. For Aquila is in the business of the unique and the dangerous, and charges prices accordingly. ~2k word chapters, updating twice a week (Normally Thurs + Sat - Temp Thurs only while catching up from some sickness).
