The One Apart
by Justine
Avery
Genre: Fantasy, Supernatural
Thriller
Only
one obstacle stands in his way of enjoying a normal life. He remembers—every
life he's lived before.
Tres is about to be born... with the biggest burden
any has ever had to bear. He is beginning again—as an ageless adult trapped in
an infant body.
He and his teenage mother face life filled with
extraordinary challenges as they strive to protect, nurture, and hide how truly
different he is. But Tres alone must solve the greatest mystery of all: who is
he? The answer is linked to the one question he's too afraid to ask: why
am I?
In his quest, Tres discovers that all is considerably
more interconnected and dynamic than he could ever imagine—and fraught with far
more danger. He cannot hide from the unseen threat stalking him since his
birth.
Life as he knows it—as all know it—is in peril. And
Tres is the only one aware.
Tres felt his body abruptly drop around him with overbearing weight, encapsulating him once again.The mental images, the overpowering memories, finally faded. Only an ominous stillness remained.Every cell within him began to twitch, infusing with energy—even as he felt immobile. Every joint, tendon, and bone ached under the pressure of being alive.A deep sadness engulfed him. He pondered possible reasons. And, just as quickly, he was distracted by the presence of his own simple thoughts.Thoughts. He realized his own thinking.This mind—certain of its own newness—desired to explore, feel, do, be. Tres opened his eyes—tried to open his eyes. He found his eyelids fused shut.He opened his mouth. Thick, warm syrup seeped inside his swallow. Intense fear washed over him, even as he knew exactly where—and how—he was.Oh, no.Tres was aware, more aware than any had ever been. In this moment, he knew everything—and yet, nothing.He was beginning again.
Justine
Avery is an award-winning author
of stories large and small for all. Born in the American Midwest and
raised all over the world, she is inherently an explorer, duly fascinated by
everything around her and excitedly noting the stories that abound all around.
As an avid reader of all genres, she weaves her own stories among them all. She
has a predilection for writing speculative fiction and story twists and
surprises she can’t even predict herself.
Avery has either lived in or explored all 50 states of
the union, over 36 countries, and all but one continent; she lost count after
moving 30-some times before the age of 20. She’s intentionally jumped
out of airplanes and off the highest bungee jump in New Zealand, scuba
dived unintentionally with sharks, designed websites, intranets, and
technical manuals, bartered with indigenous Panamanians, welded automobile
frames, observed at the Bujinkan Hombu Dojo in Noba, Japan, and masterminded
prosperous internet businesses—to name a few adventures. She earned a Bachelor
of Arts degree that life has never required, and at age 28, she sold everything
she owned and quit corporate life—and her final “job”—to freelance and travel
the world as she always dreamed of. And she’s never looked back.
Aside from her native English, Avery speaks a bit of
Japanese and a bit more Spanish, her accent is an ever-evolving mixture of
Midwestern American with notes of the Deep South and indiscriminate British
vocabulary and rhythm, and she says “eh”—like the Kiwis, not the Canadians. She
currently lives near Los Angeles with her husband, British film director Devon
Avery, and their three adopted children: Becks, Sam, and Lia. She writes from
wherever her curiosity takes her.
Avery loves to connect with fellow readers and
creatives, explorers and imaginers, and cordially invites you to say
“hello”—or konnichiwa.
