Author Description

Ana Winters is a beautiful, but somewhat socially awkward, seventeen-year-old, who has had a crush on her friend, star quarterback and heartthrob Kellin James, ever since they met at Lincoln High. When the charming, enigmatic, and devastatingly handsome Calix Night shows up at the school, Ana finds herself suddenly and quite unexpectedly the subject of a rivalry between Kellin and Calix as the two vie for her affection. But Ana has more pressing problems in the form of blinding headaches, strange dreams, visions, and possible hallucinations, including something flitting through her mirror and her hands bursting into flames, all making her fear she has a brain tumor. After Calix saves Ana from an army of shadowy, supernatural creatures, he relates a story that sounds like a fairy tale, complete with evil kings, warring knights, and a princess named Analia. Is it mere coincidence that his tale is nearly identical to Ana's frightening dreams and visions and that her name is so similar to the princess in the tale? Could Ana really be royalty from another world who is being protected by-or perhaps is the prey of-two others from that world in the form of Kellin and Calix? And if so, why? Could it be true that she was sent to Earth Realm to keep her from a man who is almost literally her other half, the darkness to her light and the death to her life, because their union would create unimaginable powers that could be used for evil-and maybe good?
