Vladia Robespierre has always had a past to hide. Raised by the aristocracy instead of the State Rearing Facilities, her half-brother is all she's ever admired, respected, and counted on. But with war on the horizon and a rising body count, is he really who she thinks he is? And if her brother is the enemy, what does that make her?
Vladia Robespierre, newest member of Earth’s prestigious Valkyrie Squad, has always struggled to conceal and come to terms with her unfortunate childhood. She and her charismatic half-brother were raised outside the State Rearing Facilities, making normal Terrans afraid to even touch such ‘disease ridden, blood babies’. But when war breaks out between Earth and the Lunar Colonies, Vladia finds herself consumed by a far greater danger: the destruction of every one and thing she holds dear.
Faced with declassification and death, Vladia seeks an unlikely ally in the squad’s robot, Rehel, as she resists the reality that a reign of tyranny looms near- not at the hands of Earth or Luna, but of her own brother’s.
Set in the not too distant future, The Valkyrie Profiles is the first in a trilogy that examines the technological and governmental influences on the degeneration of human relations and the elitism of class division. Although Earth is militaristically strong, its social and cultural collapse has become a disease that now threatens to take down the entire solar system.

Mystery/Horror Author's Praise
"Daniels has taken the theme of 'otherness' and made it her own. She's given her characters true heart and wrapped them in an action plot."Carolyn Haines, author of The Sarah Booth Delaney Series
Invest in this series, you shall not be disappointed!
Where to start....How about at the beginning?
Within the first few pages I was already in Vladia's corner. Living in a universe divided, every action a testament of the strict society in which she dwells, Vladia emerges as a relic of past ideals for any reader to relate. Tolen is a villain who has you trying to anticipate his every move, much to the reader's chagrin. I wholeheartedly recommend this title to any avid reader who enjoys having their mind tested and imagination stirred!
Daniel's world she has created sucked me in immediately and I don't want to come back!
