Crystal Casters: Awakening (The Crystal
Casters Series Book 1)
Blurb:
After inheriting a
mysterious box and pendant, Cyndra is thrust into a forgotten world of crystal
casters, elemental siphons, and an unknown enemy seeking power she didn’t even
know she had.
When Cyndra Raine
inherits her grandmother’s crystal, she inadvertently awakens a lethal
elemental force she doesn’t understand. Panicked and desperate, she flees the
safety of her village, determined to find answers only to run into a man named
Rune with the same abilities and questions.
Zorin has spent
twenty-five years soaring over his island waiting for something, anything, to
change. After sensing caster power he can’t ignore, he leaves the island and
finds two casters under attack on the mainland. He’s shocked to learn Cyndra
and Rune are ignorant of their lineage and the war that destroyed the world.
Intrigued by Cyndra and
the immense power she possesses, Zorin promises her the truth about the past in
exchange for her help. Inexplicably drawn to the winged man, Cyndra agrees to
his terms and together they begin a journey that tests everything she knows
about her world and discovers a connection to Zorin more profound than any
she’s ever imagined.
Excerpt
Zorin felt fingers on
his wing and spun around, clasping the man’s wrist, stunned at the alarm on his
face. “You see me?”
The man nodded and glanced
back at the woman, who mimicked the gesture.
This caster was as
stronger as the woman and his power flooded the gap between them. Using every
measure of control he had not to absorb it, Zorin grunted, shoved the man
backward, and tucked his wings close to his shoulders. Shocked and grateful
they had the ability to see him, yet curious what they actually saw, Zorin
opened the mental crystal bond and frowned as the word crossed the man’s mind.
“I’m not a gargoyle,”
Zorin spat, huffing and clenching his jaw to calm down so he wouldn’t scare
them further. The wide-eyed woman, dressed like a true survivor, held a lonely
sai in her shaking hand, determined to protect herself. A quality he admired.
He met her eyes. “Where did the wraiths come from?”
“The, uh, crazy lady,”
she began, glancing over toward the bushes and furrowing her brow. “They were
right there.”
