It is the tale of a girl who finds her own way on her own terms, a girl who won’t let what she is define her, and a girl who will sacrifice everything she is for the ones she loves. The Almost Girl is a richly imagined story of defiance, courage, and heart. Will Riven be able to find the strength to defy her very nature? Or will she become the monstrous soldier she was designed to be? Family betrayals and royal coups are only the tip of the iceberg. But things aren’t always as they seem, and Riven will have to search for truth. Torn between duty and desire, she must decide whether Caden is simply a target or whether he is something more.įaced with hideous reanimated Vector soldiers from her own world with agendas of their own, as well as an unexpected reunion with a sister who despises her, it is a race against time to bring Caden back to Neospes. For the first time in her life, Riven isn’t sure about her purpose, about her calling. Caden is nothing like Cale, but he makes something in her come alive, igniting a spark deep down that goes against every cell in her body. Nor is she prepared to feel something more than indifference for the very target she seeks. Riven isn’t prepared for the beauty of a world that is unlike her own in so many ways.

Thrown out of her comfort zone but with the mindset of a soldier, Riven has to learn how to be a girl in a realm that is the opposite of what she knows. But when Prince Cale sends her away to find his long-lost brother, Caden, who has been spirited back to modern day Earth, Riven finds herself in uncharted territory.

In Neospes, she has everything: rank, responsibility and respect.

A Legion General, she is the right hand of the young Prince of Neospes, a parallel universe to Earth. There’s no room for softness, no room for emotion, no room for mistakes. Coming from a world ravaged by a devastating android war, she has to be. Seventeen-year-old Riven is as tough as they come.
