Kailey
Rooke, timid accountant, dedicated to philanthropic work, finds herself
spiraling into a deep depression after she suffers a horrifyingly odd and
humiliating assault, to only discover more of these freakish assaults occurring
across the globe.
A
chance discovery leads Kailey to a meeting with elderly Gunthreon, actual
master of persuasion. Gunthreon, who seems to know too much of Kailey’s history
for her liking, opens Kailey’s eyes to a coexisting realm she never knew
existed: Renhala, while entrusting her with the knowledge of her newfound power
as karmelean, serving as a beacon to the Higher Ones. Kailey slowly starts
revealing new talents, and Gunthreon is fascinated with what she starts
achieving.
She
soon discovers that Renhala is in danger, and this danger has been leaking into
her own realm. As she uncovers secrets within herself, and attempts to toughen
up, she fuses with an unlikely band of fellow travelers (including a dragon,
woodsprite, six-hundred-pound greble, her faithful female canine companion, and
a “giver”), falls into an unexpected love triangle, deals with her sexy and
flirtatious best friend’s “issues,” and finds the courage to master a new
deadly weapon.
On
her mission to save Renhala, Kailey will find herself running from
life-threatening disasters, such as greble Tartarin, who likes to remind Kailey
that when he catches her, he plans on eating her brains with ice cream; she’ll
run from the deadly meeples: small cute bunnies with talons and an undeniable thirst
for imposing self-destruction on others. Kailey will also run into the
possibility that a centuries-old Renhalan rumor is true, that advanced
technology existing in Kailey’s realm shortens all life spans.
As
blood is shed and puzzles near completion, Kailey pulls from deep within
herself, conjuring up mystical qualities that enable her to astonish as once
predicted at her birth, but despite the newfound strength, Kailey will discover
that monsters not only come in ugly packages, but can be easily disguised as
those she has come to love and trust.
About the Author:
Born
in Chicago, Illinois, a few days prior to watching her first movie, at a
drive-in theater. Yes, drive-in theater. And yes, her mother believed she was
possessed by the devil after said first movie.
Grew
up in the Chicagoland area and graduated from the University of Illinois,
Champaign-Urbana, where she simply became a number, but decided it was a good
number.
Loves
cooking (mostly candy-cooking), gardening (putting holes in the ground for
perennials, DONE!), designing and constructing jewelry (everything from
silversmithing to lampworking), and living with her wonderful husband, two
children, black Labrador, and frog—and maybe even the chipmunk family that
likes to destroy her aforementioned perennials.
Also
hopes that you enjoy her writings, and won’t criticize her for her aversion of
eating things in multiples of three.

Review:
This book is a fascinating look at a
parallel world that will is connected in an important way to ours. In this story our heroine faces her greatest
fears, sorrow, joy, love, triumph, ultimate betrayal, and true love. It is more than a fantasy story, it is the
story of growing up, learning about yourself, finding truth and lies, and
ultimately finding oneself.
I give this story 4 out of 5 clouds.
