   “Brec has outdone herself!
What an incredible novel with a refreshing new idea

— the tension buildup was masterful. I loved it!”

~Jonas Saul, bestselling author of the Sarah Roberts Series.

“... Young Adult Fantasy Romance weaves drama, supernatural intrigue, and a coming-of-age story into one tale ... the setting comes to life ... unexplained secrets ... world building is scathingly obvious, you can practically hear Stephen King's pen scratching ... Brec excels at keeping readers on edge ...”

 “I like Callie. She's a smart girl with enough grit to do

what's right but with just the right amount of teenage angst to make her feel authentic. I most enjoyed when Callie began intensive training and the true nature of what she was capable of — if she had the strength and fortitude to get there —

was exceptionally well depicted. I hope the break between book one and two of the series isn’t too long …”

HOPE CARRIES A CRUEL PRICE AND DEMANDS PAYMENT

Sixteen-year-old Callie Tresham is haunted by her parents’ brutal murder—an assassination she foresaw. As she struggles to conceal the curse of her supernatural powers, she faces a new trial, surviving public school. But beneath the surface, a slow-burning romance simmers with a mysterious stranger, someone she can't trust, yet can't ignore.

THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS AN ACCIDENT

When a menacing photo ignites a quest for truth, the origin of Callie’s powers exposes the threat of a sinister conspiracy. She’ll have to use every skill in her arsenal to outsmart a relentless adversary who wants her dead.

SHE MAKES A DANGEROUS BARGAIN

Yet, the deal grows deadlier. The threats increase, the romance grows cold, and the death toll rises. Everyone has a price or secret to exploit. Worse, she finds legends are codes revealing history's dangerous truths.

SHE HAS TWO CHOICES: CONQUER OR DIE.
