It was his mission to save her life. But first… he’d need to convince her that hers was a life worth saving. Will Stark finds himself on a mission. He must use his new Energy abilities – abilities long thought the realm of magic by humanity – and his army of self-aware nanobots to save the life of a young woman named Elizabeth. Elizabeth is treated as if she is a slave, forced to endure all manner of human testing to find the method to unlock all human potential. It is treatment encouraged by a man named Arthur – her father – and it is her fondest wish that her father treat her as his beloved child rather than a piece of property. She refuses to leave until she’s reformed him, for she believes that if he cannot change, she herself is predestined to be a monster, and a person not worthy of living. She’ll fight to change Arthur, with Will’s help, until she succeeds. Or until she’s buried next to her mother, who sought the same reform – and was murdered for trying.
The Aliomenti village is in ruins, destroyed by one of their own, its population nearly eliminated in the calamity. From the ruins, the Aliomenti rise to international prominence, influencing buyers and sellers, warriors and bureaucrats, as they patiently and invisibly expand their empire. Will Stark serves as the driving force behind that expansion. Whether he's directly creating their innovations or offering subtle hints to others, few of their revolutionary progressions are made without his influence. But Will is dealing with his own private heartache. Even as he watches his fellow Aliomenti ascend to heights few of them imagined possible, his long journey becomes one he'll make very much...
Hostility has formed over the centuries. It's grown with each Hunt, each capture, each death. It's been magnified at each effort to thwart global dominion over those unable to defend against the advance of a ruthless tyrant who won't rest until the entire world is full of those who exist solely to do his will. Circumstances have prevented outright warfare. Until now. The stunning conclusion to the Aliomenti Saga, Convergence reveals who lives, who dies, and unveils the final secrets hidden for generations.
Freed from the constraints of the Aliomenti, Will creates a new group, an Alliance of men and women committed to using the Energy skills and technological advances to improve the lives of all. It’s an act of rebellion that won’t go unnoticed–or unpunished–by the Aliomenti Elites. Treachery, a desperate search for the resolution of his most vexing personal concern, and an incredible network of underground facilities drive Will to his own desperate decisions. He’ll figure out how to bring new life into the world… but the asking price is steep. And permanent.
He's provided for each of them the opportunity to lead a life of health, wealth, and power far beyond their imagination. By his own example, he's shown them that such gifts are meant to be shared, used to make the world a better place. And he's never asked them for anything in return, showing a willingness to risk even his own life to live to his own ideals. Now Will Stark needs their help. He's helpless, he's uneducated, and he's about to meet men who can utterly destroy him. And they'll need to make sure that's exactly what happens. Prodded by memories and with the aid of future hindsight, they'll work tirelessly, take on alternate personalities, and ensure that the plan is carried out in its entirety. In the process, they'll learn that selfless sacrifice can demand a heavy price. They'll know that even high technology can't overcome the human spirit. And they'll understand that, even with perfect hindsight, surprises beyond expectation can -- and do -- occur.
“They took everything he loved. Now he’ll take everything they have.” They destroyed his life. Now they’ve created their worst enemy. Will Stark had everything—a billion-dollar tech empire, a brilliant wife and son, and a future he’d built from the ground up. Then came the fire. The slaughter. The near-death beating. A brutal, calculated strike… meant for someone else. It was supposed to be a clean hit. But they missed. Pulled from the wreckage by a rogue trio with secrets of their own, Will is thrust into a shadow war between rival factions of an ancient society known as the Aliomenti—puppet masters of power, wealth, and human evolution. Their technology defies explanation. ...
Will Stark find himself on a mission. He must use his new Energy abilities - ablities long thought the realm of magic by humanity - and his army of self-aware nanobots to save the life a young woman named Elizabeth.

Centuries of calamities took humanity to the brink of extinction. Now, with the aid of a time capsule, the human race is once more populating the Earth, resurrecting technologies lost centuries earlier. With those innovations, though, come civilization's need to fight for control. Just as humanity seemed poised for a return to stability, they'll learn that some among them seek a return to extinction. They need only find the right time, and the right person, to put their plans in motion.
The greatest journeys in life are often those taken in silence, with no one else watching. They are the journeys of self-discovery, when one learns one’s true history and destiny. They are the times when self-discipline must trump the massive desire to act in a manner that offers a short term benefit… but a long term disaster. Adam long knew he faced such a journey. He didn’t know how he’d ever begin; fate seemed stacked against him. And yet he knew the stakes, knew that his failure — or his discovery — could doom him and those he loves most. And then… fate smiled on him. For just a few brief moments, the window opened, and he commenced that journey. He—and the world—would never be the same.
