Steven doesn't like to think.

He tries his darndest to avoid it. Even in school he did his best to stick to physical activities. He got so good at some he was exempt from more than a few classes–which was alright in his book.

His brothers didn't approve, but what could they say? They had their own ways of dealing with memories of the past; and just like Steven's coping mechanism, some of those ways weren't really healthy.

Regardless, none of them could say that they've completely moved on. Visions of parents who branded them failures, a sister whose talents solidified the potential lost in their births, and a system that treated them like cattle, all live rent free inside their heads.

If not for their oldest brother, they wouldn't even be able to live the somewhat normal lives they've enjoyed the last few years.

They would have preferred if things had stayed normal, but they didn't. First, their oldest brother gets called back to the warfront on the moon, then the aliens start blowing crap up on earth, Steven gets psychedelic dreams about their ancestors, and one of them gets their penis stolen. Join Steven as he fights off aliens, gambles against witches, comes to terms with his heritage, and finds out who he wants to be, in this three book series that I will definitely finish....
