Description
Haylee
Smith is dead, she just doesn’t know it yet.
Her short life was devoted to love and to hate. Love of the man who stole her heart, hate for the man who stole the world. Murdered by the government she swore to destroy, fate has given her another chance to make it right. But to save the planet, she needs the help of the most powerful mystic the world has ever seen—unfortunately he hasn’t been born yet.
In a world where fear is the only currency, Dephon has committed the ultimate crime: inspiring hope.
His only goal is to make it safely through ninth grade, but on a post-apocalyptic Earth run by the Treptonian government, it isn’t that simple. Heir to a legendary power, Dephon Johnson is the only threat to the government’s rule. And on Trepton, all threats must be eliminated. When hundreds of assassins are dispatched to neutralize him, Dephon is forced to fight back. His only chance of survival is to enlist the aid of the greatest warrior the world has ever known. The only problem is, she's been dead for 13 years.

Excerpt
A scream rippled through the emerald-green sea. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” Singleton groaned. I sighed deeply, trying to remain composed. Another scream pierced our ears, this one coming from a different direction. Within seconds the horizon was filled with no less than twenty of the slug-like creatures traveling with chilling military-style precision towards us. They were all swimming from different directions, their eyes flickering in the distance.
“Hyles, leave.”“No,” I said firmly.“I'm losing too much blood as it is. I’ll never make it back and who'll avenge my mother? Get out of here. I will not watch you die too! Do it now, Hyles!”“Would you leave me?” I challenged him, racking my mind for a course of attack.I gripped my sword awkwardly in my hand as I tried to keep Singleton afloat with the other one. “Hyles, just go or we’ll both die.” The creatures were close enough for us to see their rattling teeth. The combined effect of their screams was enough to shatter our eardrums. “Hyles, go!” he said again. The creatures were no more than eight feet away, and it was clear that neither of us was getting out of here alive.
Author Bio
Folami and Abeni Morris are a sister-sister writing
team. Together they wrote (and rewrote) The Exemeus series, somehow managing to
accomplish it without murdering one another. Despite their facial similarities,
tendency to finish each other’s thoughts and stick up for each other
constantly, no, they’re not twins and thus deserve their own individual bio.
Folami Morris
Folami grew up in the tiny city of San Mateo Ca, where
nothing ever happens and no one ever leaves. She went to Xavier University for
undergraduate, getting her B.A in physics and her B.S in Biology. After
graduation she returned to California, to live in an even smaller city, where
even less happens, Antioch Ca. During this time she escaped the monotony by
hanging out with her imaginary friends Hyalee and Dephon, and by writing the
Exemeus.
She finally escaped to Queens NY and now realizes that
quiet and tiny aren’t so bad.
Abeni Morris
As luck (and logic) would
have it, Abeni grew up in the same tiny little town as her sister, then
she too escaped to the tinier town of Antioch. She has yet to leave. She
received her bachelor’s degree in early childhood development from Cal State
East Bay. She is the mom of two amazing kids, who swear that they deserve a
percentage of the book proceeds and a ton of the credit. At least she raised
dreamers.
