Prologue
All my life, I had searched for something, something I thought I ought
to be. I felt like I was living someone else’s life, waiting for the
awakening of my own. I felt like an empty shell burning for life. That
was, until the day I lay dying in the prince’s chambers. I could no
longer feel the pain from the tear in my gut. The only sensation left
was a hollowed-out feeling that I had made a huge mistake in assuming
that taking my own life, would have stopped the ancestors’ spirit from
raging out. I had given up. I didn’t want to see myself killing the ones
I loved. I was the Chosen one, but I threw it all away for what I
thought would save a life. Could you end a life to save a life? I did,
and I have regretted it ever since. I realized then that things like me
are not meant to exist. What had been missing my whole life? It was I.
To find myself, I had to lose myself in the worst possible way. The
consequences of my actions became the legend of The Broken.

Book Description
An amazing new sci-fi series begins with The Broken
Destiny: Book One of The Broken Series. Ava is the great granddaughter
of the founder of their kind: The Broken were genetically enhanced to
survive evolution during the last years on earth, after which their
experiments were abandoned and they moved to another planet, named
Poseidon. Ava carries a secret journal of her mother's, which leads her
to believe that her people are not what they seem. Ava has to decipher
her mother's rantings in the journal, differentiating truth from madness
to determine The Broken's true identities and origins. A few of The
Broken will soon experience a "change," and each generation's change
differs from the previous. (Ava's generation has been labeled the make
it or break it generation.) Weeks before Ava's seventeenth birthday, an
attempted kidnapping by Zulu warriors changes her destiny forever. Saved
by a Minoan boy, she is taken back to his village where all the lies
about her kind's existence (and how they came to be exiled to planet
Poseidon) are brought to light. The Minoans are an ancient race that
carries a secret tying in with Ava's prophesied destiny. Her destiny is
to rise above the fall, to become what she hates to save them all. The
story continues in the next book Evanescent. About the Author: Carlyle
Labuschagne is a marketing and PR consultant in Johannesburg, South
Africa. "I have always wanted to be a storyteller, to deliver a message,
to help people believe in themselves and see the beauty in life."
