Unfortunately, Noelle had to remain conscious for these operations, so the trauma and pain were excruciating. When she was returned to her family, her father decided to protect her from a repeat of this experience by having all of her pain receptors deadened.
When she was twelve years old, she was kidnapped and tortured as she was held for ransom. Noelle is a spoiled rich girl with a tragic childhood. The story takes us back to the time that Ava and Noelle were in training to become Huntresses. This book stars Noelle Tremain, whom we met in the previous book with her AIR partner, Ava Sans. Real, fresh food and water are available only to the wealthy-that annoying 1% is still hanging in there. Much of the food is made from synthetic starches and proteins. Automobiles are equipped with sensors that allow the driver to program in the destination and then sit back and let the car propel itself with no human assistance. Buildings are built more securely, with metals that will prevent Otherworlders from teleporting in unexpectedly. For example, water is a precious resource, so people take enzyme showers instead of using real water. Naturally enough, there has been some mating between species, so there are also a lot of hybrids of various combinations. The Earth is now populated by both mortals and “Otherlanders”-aliens from other planets and realms who travel through portals between their lands and ours.
