This entry is part 1 of 8 in the series Firmware: Keylogger Colbyjack.net is proud to present "Firmware: Keylogger" by Colbytrax Isaac Sarason is a skilled hacker formerly employed by British Telecom-Sprint. When his health failed, Isaac did the only thing he could think of: He ran. He found a haven in a working class district of the City known as Little Russia. There Isaac took on a new name: Ishmael. He then became embroiled in the affairs of a brutal member of the Lomidze organized crime family known as Leo. Convinced by his longtime friend, Frankie, to flee from his commitments to the Lomidze family, Isaac found himself hunted by the ruthless Leo. On a rooftop, far from witnesses, Leo murdered Frankie. Only through the use of his skills as a hacker was Isaac able to drive Leo off. Wounded, alone, and far from help, Isaac depended of the kindness of strangers. One stranger, a burqa wearing doctor known as Fatima, took pity on Isaac and helped him make his way to the mysterious Star-X line. At the end of all hope they found the Star-X line and the slim promise that the enigmatic beings behind the Star-X could save Isaac from the implants which destroyed his life. What do you do when those who saved you have recorded everything you are? What do you do when your every action is tracked by the Keylogger?

The people of the Fire, the Blesa, led by their Queens, have ruled the Island of Alfeyju and oppressed the Driva, the people of the Ice, for more than sixteen generations. With the Drivian King in hiding, and little hope on the horizon, the Driva look to one person to save them from the vile Blesa: the Diviana. According to legend, the divinely gifted Diviana will one day overthrow the Blesa and restore the Drivian King to his rightful throne. But with the search having lasted for more than four hundred years, will the Diviana ever come to light? Willow is the slave of the Raskpil family.  Bought at the age of four, twenty years have passed since her life irrevocably changed.  Her existence is no worse than any other slave, but within, Willow wonders if there isn’t something more she should be doing with her life other than serving the ungrateful. Ordered to travel with her master’s family to Sondertoft so her master’s adult children can take part in an ancient rite of passage, Willow is shocked when she learns that she too must participate. Will she fail as all before her have? Will she rise to the challenge and become stronger after passing through the flames?
