RENEGADE:
​FREE Prequel Short Story


She has one hour to save the world. 
​And the clock is ticking...


It's seventeen-year-old Sara's job to save Earth. The only problem is every time she's tried so far, she's failed. The fact that she can travel through time isn't helping either, especially when everyone believes she's the only person who simply cannot die—because she's the only one who can jumpstart all the events and give humanity one last chance. 

FREE to newsletter subscribers.

Seventeen-year-old Sara has seen her brother die fourteen times. He's drowned, burned to death, been shot and stabbed. But this time is going to be different—this time he's going to live. Sara's going to make sure of it—because Sara has a secret. She can travel through time.
