She’s been trained to follow wherever her Core leads.
Until it leads her away from everything she’s ever known . . . into mortal danger.
Eighteen-year-old Kayli-el discovers she’s part of a new, evolving species on her planet, with
a powerful internal guidance called the Core. After her teacher is murdered for its secrets,
Kayli-el runs for her life – right into the arms of Tamber, a boy who’s crossed the ocean on a
mysterious quest . . . to find her!
When the same killers who murdered her teacher capture her best friend Serene, Kayli-el
faces a choice with potentially deadly consequences: follow her Core’s wisdom and flee
across the ocean to safety with Tamber, or defy her own guidance to try to save Serene’s life.

6 Facts about the author:
1. I am passionate about mac-n-cheese. No one can make it like my mom did, but I like to branch out and try all kinds. Five-cheese, truffle, lobster, gooey, dry, you name it, I love it.
2. I like painting shoes and turning dull, ordinary ones into one-of-a-kind DIY masterpieces with funky trims and studs and painted flowers.
3. I once got one of my pastel paintings got into the Pastel Society of America’s annual juried competition. It didn’t win an award, but I was very proud anyway.
4. I once tried to climb Ayers Rock in the Australian outback, but when I was halfway up, I looked down and froze in place. I couldn’t go up and it took me ages to get back down.
5. I have seen The Wizard of Oz at least 25 times. I’m obsessed. I think it’s the best movie of all time.
6. I was once picked up hitchhiking, as a teenager, by rock-n-roll icon Chuck Berry. (Kids, don’t try this at home!)
