Taken: Marks of the Satrii/Blades of the Ytinu Srebas

by Amanda Schmidt

Ava had no idea that when her best friend, Ashley, told her they were going out for a "girl's night" that her very normal life was about to take a turn that she never saw coming. Her world went from amazing to horrific in one evening - one evening that alters everything in ways she never could have dreamed. Gabriel realizes she's not like the others, but he doesn't understand the depth of his interest. He only knows that he cannot let Ava die. Will his desire for her to live be enough?

About the author

I graduated from Eastern Michigan University and live in Rochester, Michigan. I am a single mother of three amazing children who have helped me rediscover my love of writing. I started writing in 2009 and discovered there were many stories within me that I wanted to share. With the help of my family, friends, and fans, I have gained confidence in myself and in what I love, allowing me to live my dream to be an author who finds inspiration everywhere: my past, listening to music, in laughter, and even random moments while out hiking or practicing Tai Chi.
 
I discovered the hard way how important believing in yourself and your dreams is. With each story I write, I hope to take my readers into a world that will captivate their attention. I hope my stories remind you to believe in your dreams, allowing you to think outside the box and become more than you thought you could be.
