#KrakenFriends2018 Guest Post: Lynn O'Connacht
Hi, everyone! Many thanks to Kiran for hosting me today. As you may know, this week marks the one year anniversary of The Kraken Collection, of which Kiran and I are both members.

Teaser: Introducing the sequel to DAYBREAK RISING!
How far would you go to save your family?
Adilan Brennan knew from a young age that Elementalist blood was in her veins. She’d seen her sister look at her with fear, sadness, anger, hope--all before ever speaking a word. She grew up behind the sandstone walls of Ardonia, meant to keep the Council out, and her sister Celosia within them.
