The Dawn of Dae When Alexa opens a portal within her refrigerator, turning her macaroni and cheese casserole into a sentient being, her plans of securing a better life for herself crumble to dust. By dawn the following day, the mysterious dae have come to Earth to stay. Hundreds of thousands of people vanish into thin air, and as the days pass, the total of the missing number in the millions. Some say it's the rapture of the Christian faith. Alexa knows better: their dae ate them, leaving behind nothing more than dust as evidence of their hunger. Unfortunately, one of the dae has taken notice of her, and he'll stop at nothing to have her. Alexa's problems pile up as she's forced to pick her allegiances. Will she submit to the new ways of the world? Will she become some monster's pawn? Or, against all odds, can she forge her own path and prove normal humans can thrive among those gifted with powers once the domain of fantasies and nightmares? Unawakened In order to restore peace after the Dawn of Dae, the United States has declared martial law. Alexa wants nothing to do with the government, its army, or the special forces meant to keep rebellion at bay, but she has a choice: do what her boss, Kenneth, wants or die a quick death. Unfortunately, Kenneth isn't the only problem in her life, and unless she does something about Rob, she'll lose the independence she fought so hard for. Worse, unless she's careful, he'll make her like it...
