Emergence
When Ay'Sha, a 17 year old high school soccer star, is attacked on her way home from practice, she is thrown headlong into a supernatural quest to restore an ancient, sentient crystal known as the Amphetris, and the race of shapeshifters it created. The Chimeras.
8,000 years ago, the Chimeras hoped to find peace with humans, but men shattered the Amphetris and cursed the Chimeras to a wandering immortality. They were bound to the Kingsouls, humans who hold the key to the Amphetris' restoration.
But the Chimeras have never discovered how to access this key. Many of the shapeshifters have fallen to darkness, many more have surrendered the quest, including their king, Sheshon, who hides in New Orleans in the guise of a museum director named Sean Peterson.
He ignores the whispers that Ay'Sha is the Kingsoul even when fate throws them together. But he is the only one strong enough to protect her from the fallen Chimera who would use Ay'Sha to bring about a cataclysm that will destroy mankind.
Time is running out, and Sean will either face his destiny, and Ay'Sha's, or lose the key forever.
Because Ay'Sha is the last Kingsoul.

As a history buff, I always like when stories (books or movies) weave history into their narrative, and the Last Kingsoul was no different. The author developed strong characters and a great villain. There was enough fantasy in the story to create an engaging mythology, but no so much that it would turn off the casual reader-- a balance that is not easy to accomplish. A fun read and highly recommended.
