You Never Forget Your First.

Premeditated or heat-of-the-moment, accidental or under orders, a matter of pure survival, or pure evil... Your first kill changes you, defines you. Your reaction reveals who you are, and sets the path for who you become. Casanova is a rising star in his shady Organization, ""Matt"" is fighting to keep his sanity... will both become the monsters others believe them to be? In wars of the future and past, will Urzzt and Junior, two reluctant soldiers, go against their natures in the heat of battle? Can Swan, trained to just observe, take action to turn the tables on her hunter? Can training prepare Ship's Officer Danny Garrett for the trauma of his first kill, and allow him to continue on when lives are at stake? What will become of Whisper and Daniel after the ""accidental"" deaths of those they love most? What happens to Dave and his killer now? Join Authors Rising as we share in nine very different characters' stories, and explore how they and their lives are affected by their FIRST KILLS.
