Finding Akashan’te

by Vicky Burkholder

Rowyn of Antilon has eyes as black as midnight, bone-white hair, and powers that go beyond anything the world has seen in centuries. Raised by her aunts in a secluded cottage, she knows nothing about her powers until a fateful day when she returns home from a shopping trip to find everything and everyone she knew gone. A cryptic note and puzzle box direct her to the mythical city of Akashan’te at the conjunction of the six sister stars or the world as everyone knows will end.

When an assassin makes an attempt on Rowan’s life, guardsman Daniel McAfree is assigned to guard and guide her. On their journey, they encounter friends who benefit from Rowan’s abilities, enemies who will stop at nothing to control her, and love that will last a lifetime and beyond.
