Description

***This Limited Edition Hardback contains an exclusive sneak peek of Split Adam: Scion Saga Book 2***⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐AMAZON #1 BESTSELLER⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The SCION SAGA SERIES is an exhilarating young adult series of adversity, bravery, and determination. The adventure primarily chronicles the lives of 16-year-olds Adam and Carly, who embark on a familial adventure, discovering their supernatural abilities are accompanied by the most dire of consequences. These teens are Descendants of extinct Russian bloodlines, easily identifiable by their glowing Limbal Rings. They're under constant threat of extermination at the hands of The Iksha -- an elite, but murderous group of scientists. The series includes a veritable myriad of familial situations that create stronger bonds between the bloodlines as they band together to fight for their existence.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Bold character development and strong mythology breathe life into this compelling young adult fantasy." -- Foreword Reviews⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Cālix Leigh-Reign's writing style is what I loved most about this book. I lost count of how many times I stopped reading and sat in awe..." - Carpe Fiction⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The story had every element a good story should have. An exciting plot, attention to detail, but best of all fleshed out, well-written and well-rounded character development. There's an abundance of well illustrated scenes that will make you feel like you are right there in the story, and that's something I really look for in a good book."--- Emerald Book Reviews⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Calix does an excellent job with the plot and the twists at the end. The world she draws you into is unique..." -- Christinac_2585 of OnlineBookClub.org⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I loved this book. From the moment I started reading I was pulled in and held tight." -- OnlineBookClub.org⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A...rousing, supernatural tale combined with a gleefully eccentric teenage romance." -- Kirkus Reviews⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The story is well visualized and readers will be delighted to find that the plot is not predictable." -- SeriousReading.com⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "No casual coming-of-age story. Opaque is laden with angst, psychological power, and is a tale of dysfunction in a world where supernatural abilities can thwart mental illness, where a mysterious Afro-Russian girl who holds the power to divert Adam from the apocalypse he's preparing for the future." -- Donovan Literary Services⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The moment I read the first sentence of the book's prologue, I knew I would love this book. I wasn't wrong." - CarpeFiction⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A tense page-turner that does more than present a teen's world. It pulls the reader in to an evolutionary process that is far more than one of transition points, but embraces moral and ethical conundrums.." -- Midwest Book Review

"The story is well visualized and readers will be delighted to find that the plot is not predictable." - SeriousReading.com

"No light read and no casual coming-of-age story, Opaque is laden with angst, psychological power, and is a tale of dysfunction in a world where supernatural abilities can thwart mental illness, where a mysterious Afro-Russian girl who holds the power to divert Adam from the apocalypse he's preparing for the future." - Diane Donovan of Midwest Book Review

"...readers from mature teens to adults who seek complex story lines and plots that steep their characters with awakening powers and new decision-making processes will find Opaque a powerful force. Complex, driven by clashes between darkness and light, and seriously overwhelming, it's a tense page-turner that does more than present a teen's world. It pulls the reader in to an evolutionary process that is far more than one of transition points, but embraces moral and ethical conundrums." - Diane Donovan of Midwest Book Review
