[Cover Art by Terrel O'Brien (http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...)] A standalone story set in the world of Nihilian Effect. Claradina is a calm and collected historical scholar, that is until she stumbles upon information in a recently uncovered document that could change the world forever. With the collective Mind standing in her way, she must gain allies and bend the rules if she is ever going to expose the truth behind the history. This story is just a glimpse at the universe that is Nihilian Effect. Over the years, it has been expanding into something more compelling than I could ever have hoped for. I wrote this story in a way that it could be read standalone, but it is an introductory piece to a much larger puzzle. Expect much more to come. This universe is vast and still has plenty of room to grow.
