First Story Arc
In the first story arc of the series, Oliver (pseudonym Loki), Gaia's uncle, is trying to win Gaia back and make her trust him. It is later understood that he does this because he believes that she is his daughter. He uses extreme methods to get close to her and sends professional agents from his terrorist organization to track her throughout the book series (including the first story arc).
Loki kills her friends and people whom he believes are close to her, because he tries to socially isolate Gaia, trying to make her vulnerable for his introduction into her life.
After he realizes that Gaia will never trust him, and Tom (Gaia's father) arrives back in Gaia's life, Oliver decides to replicate Gaia in a cloning experiment and try to replicate her fearlessness as well. This finishes the first story arc and leads into the second.

Famous quotes containing the words story and/or arc:
“I know not whether the remark is to our honour or otherwise, that lessons of wisdom have never such power over us, as when they are wrought into the heart, through the ground-work of a story which engages the passions: Is it that we are like iron, and must first be heated before we can be wrought upon?”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“Male urination really is a kind of accomplishment, an arc of transcendance. A woman merely waters the ground she stands on.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
