• Amagon by Judith Proctor

• Transition in Three Stages by Vega
  After Star One, Jenna is separated from Blake and Liberator. She is determined to take control of her own life and escape the rebellion. This story is a prequel to 'Investments' in 'The Way Back' but may be read as an independent story.
