    In "From Within," Parabellum explores a future where humans transcend biological limitations through advanced medical technologies, nanobots, and brain implants. These enhancements allow people to live without illness, aging, or injury, and even communicate telepathically. Yet, these advancements divide society into factions with differing visions of humanity's future. Some pursue the creation of "perfect" humans, while others fear losing the essence of humanity. The power to alter DNA and design offspring with specific traits raises ethical dilemmas, challenging the natural order. As society splits into city-states, corporate territories, and virtual realms, governance becomes complex, with AI and collective decision-making shaping the world. "From Within" delves into the philosophical and ethical questions of identity, freedom, and responsibility in a world where scarcity and death are no longer constants. As humanity stands on the brink of even more incredible transformations, the struggle to define what it means to be "authentically human" continues, shaping the destiny of both enhanced and unchanged individuals. Amidst the tension and competition for resources, new philosophical and legal frameworks emerge, advocating for "morphological freedom"—the right to modify one's body. As traditional concepts like work, education, and family are redefined, humanity must navigate the challenges of this unprecedented era, seeking meaning and direction as they prepare for the next leap into the unknown.

    Can a retired naval commander and the love he left behind overcome a 34-year-old secret to find their way to a second chance? 
    Captain Mitchell Greyson is a man who believes in duty. A bigger purpose and a thirst to prove himself took him away from his tiny Tennessee hometown--and the girl he loved--more than thirty years ago. After a distinguished career in the Navy, Grey's headed home, searching for new purpose and a glimpse at the road not traveled. 
    At the tender age of eighteen, Rebecca Ferguson made a choice that changed her life. Since then, she's had joy, regrets, and an ugly divorce, but she never forgot the love who walked away. She definitely never expected him to move back to town more than thirty years later, or for all the sparks to still be alive. 
    One look and Grey's all in, determined to earn a second chance at the love he left behind. The duty that took him away is over, but Rebecca doesn't know how to trust that he's home to stay, especially when the secret she's held onto all these years is closer than he thinks...and it has the potential to destroy their fragile new beginning.
