    About this ebook

    Claire never thought she would be the one saving anybody’s life. She never thought she would discover a secret destiny, either.

    Finding Uriah is Claire’s top priority because, without her, he will never be able to defeat the Matwau. To find him, she needs help from the one person she trusts least. Quaile.

    Claire needs the book Quaile has kept hidden from the rest of the tribe. Claire desperately hopes it will hold the answers she needs to save Uriah’s life.

    The book does hold answers, but not to everything.

    Lost memories, acceptance of destiny, and looking outside of reality provide a pathway to the answers they need most, but they also hold the power to break them both.

    The prices asked of them may finally be too high. If they are, their deaths will only be the beginning.

    DelSheree Gladden

    DelSheree Gladden was one of those shy, quiet kids who spent more time reading than talking. She didn't speak a single word for the first few months of preschool. Her fascination with reading led to many hours spent in the library and bookstores, and eventually to writing. She wrote her first novel when she was sixteen years old, but spent ten years rewriting before it was published.Native to New Mexico, DelSheree and her family spent several years in Colorado before returning to northern New Mexico. When not writing novels, you can find DelSheree reading, hiking, sewing, playing with her dogs, and working with other authors.DelSheree has several bestselling young adult series and has hit the USA Today Bestseller list twice as part of box sets. DelSheree also has contemporary romance, cozy mystery, and paranormal new adult series. Her writing is as varied as her reading interests.
