Blurb-
Red mirrored scales race up my arms as the haze of pain blurs my vision.
My bones crack, breaking to realign. I scream. It is then that the realization
of my unavoidable fate sinks in; I am of a dying race. I am dragon.
Aurora Megalos, orphaned and teetering on the edge of adulthood, thought
finding her past would curb the sting of being an outcast. Having no memories
of the time before she awoke on her foster mother’s doorstep, she yearns for
the emptiness inside her to be filled. With her fellow orphaned best friend,
Fenn, by her side, she has nothing to lose and everything to gain. But
something powerful stirred within her that she couldn’t explain. Something
wanted out.
In the dark of night, a crazed Seer, dubbed Mr.Creepy, erases everything
she’s ever known with an impending prophecy. She now faces two paths. Return to
her true home to protect a dying race against a growing evil, or stay hidden in
the safety of our realm with a shot at a true love. With a vengeful Arch Enemy
stopping at nothing to see her dead, she’s running out of time; a decision must
be made. What would you choose?

About the Author-Candace Knoebel had dreamed
of being a dancer ever since she could remember. With a love of all things art,
she saw herself moving to New York and pursuing her passion as an artist. But
all that changed on October 10th, 2002 when she met the love of her life. Her
dreams diverged and after marrying her high school sweetheart and having two
beautiful children, she realized she missed her creative side.
Growing
up alongside the Harry Potter series, Candace found herself missing the
epicosity of a story that pulls you in and won’t let you go. In 2009, she began
dreaming up characters that would mold her first novel. Through lunch breaks
and late nights, after putting her kids to bed, she built a world where she
could escape the ever-pressing days of an eight to five Purgatory. She found
her calling in life and knew this was more than dancing could’ve ever meant to
her.
Once
complete in 2010, she began the grueling process of finding a publisher. With
relentless determination, she was finally able to realize her dream in December
of 2011 when 48fourteen offered her a publishing contract. With a HUGE yes and
a happy dance, she continues her
Trilogy.

Excerpt:
Preface
THE
CALL OF THE ORB was strong now that it rested in my hands. A song
thrummed in my chest as I felt the veins in my neck beating wildly.
Looking at it now, the change wasn’t as scary as I had thought it would
be. Even with knowing that I could be staring my possible death in the
face. The question was—would I be strong enough to sustain these powers
given to me? Maybe I was just scared of The Fates choosing my destiny,
or maybe I was scared that what was about to happen would forever change
my life. Either way, growing up I had always hoped that my life would
mean something more than just being a foster child, but this, this was
much bigger than anyone could imagine. And what lies ahead? Well if it’s
anything compared to what I am going through now, then I expect my life
to fall into a whole new level of crazy. And I think it may be just
what I was looking for.
