Biogengineered 8-y-o assassin Taj escapes from her secret base & loses the companions she taught to love. She is in a world of strangers, hunted by her former masters. Enveloped in love from birth, Taj is lonely, reaching out and searching for her lost mates. Only the unknown love fountain responds. She builds a martial arts empire, using instead the love of her students. Taj makes new friends, finds contentment & love, immersing herself in work, further education & new discoveries. Then only a year later, her life is shattered and again she loses what is most important to her.

Taj's Early Years is the first part of a trilogy replacing the rewritten and greatly expanded Getting to Galen. The rest will be published when my busy cover artist finishes his work.
