Wendy doesn't remember anything about Neverland—or the experiments done on her there as a child. Seven years later, all she wants is a normal life, but shape-shifting shadows plague her dreams and turn her life into a waking nightmare. When the shadows attack at a football game and a boy disappears right in front of her, she realizes these wraith-like shadows are real. They’re not just haunting—they’re hunting.
A mysterious boy named Peter, his foul-mouthed sidekick, and a band of misfit boys intervene before Wendy faces a similar fate. But can they trust Wendy enough to take her to Neverwood Academy and reveal all of their hidden secrets when she's hiding a secret of her own, or will the dreaded Red Skulls find her and drag her back to Neverland?

This is an independent novel loosely related to War of the Elements
Before she was known as Scarlet, she was dubbed Poison by her allies in the army — a legendary soldier with no equal. No foe that crossed her path lived to see the light of day. Impressed by her staggering body count, Poison is offered a job at Sigma Squad, an elite squad of assassins whose task is the termination of high priority targets. Elated by the chance to eliminate officers instead of mere grunts, Poison takes the job. Everything goes smoothly, until that day. The day her world came crumbling down. Through the death and the lies, a far more sinister plot is unveiled — one that would threaten the very fabric of humanity. If that wasn't enough, a mystery figure enters the fold with an agenda of his own. Poison is about to have the worst day ever — one which she will never forget.
