Stitch Trilogy

Her heart races, her muscles coil, and every impulse in Alessa's body screams at her to run... but yet she's powerless to move. Still struggling to find her footing after the sudden death of her parents, the last thing college freshman Alessa has the strength to deal with is the inexplicable visceral pull drawing her to a handsome ghostly presence. In between grappling with exams and sorority soirees - and disturbing recurring dreams of being captive in a futuristic prison hell - Alessa is determined to unravel the mystery of the apparition who leaves her breathless. But the terrifying secret she uncovers will find her groping desperately through her nightmares for answers. Because what Alessa hasn't figured out yet is that she's not really a student, the object of her obsession is no ghost, and her sneaking suspicions that something sinister is lurking behind the walls of her university's idyllic campus are only just scratching the surface... The Stitch Trilogy (including all three volumes: Stitch, Shudder, & Stuck) is a twist-laden young adult/new adult adventure spanning the genres of paranormal romance and dystopian sci-fi to explore the challenges of a society in transition, where morality, vision, and pragmatism collide leaving the average citizen to suffer the results. The Stitch Trilogy is created by Samantha Durante, an eGlobal Creative Publishing Signed Author.

Chapter 88: Retribution

"'Appreciate your input,' she says. Right," Lizzie seethed under her breath, practically kicking open the door from the stairwell. An errant soldier who'd been loitering in the hallway scurried away after one look at the expression on her face. Lizzie just scowled after him.

She couldn't stop replaying last night's conversation with her mother in her head.

"Mom, please, listen to me," she'd pleaded. "You have to see reason. We are outmatched. You've convinced all these people that we have a chance at winning, but really all you're doing is putting them in harm's way - them and everyone else living in Paragon. I know things aren't perfect there -"

"You know that better than anyone, I would think," Regina had retorted, but more gently than Lizzie would have expected of her.

"- but I've spoken to the people who are in charge. They know they've made mistakes. They want to call a truce and work with us to fix it."
