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:
“A gorgeous example of denial is the story about the little girl who was notified that a baby brother or sister was on the way. She listened in thoughtful silence, then raised her gaze from her mother’s belly to her eyes and said, “Yes, but who will be the new baby’s mommy?””
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“You say that you are my judge; I do not know if you are; but take good heed not to judge me ill, because you would put yourself in great peril.”
—Joan Of Arc (c.1412–1431)
