Trapped – wanting and needing to be alone but missing the contact and support of her sisters, Clara is trapped.
Gifted from an early age, Clara has been subjected to the worse life can offer and now finds herself unable to see a future for herself. Rescued by her sister, she’s heading for peace onboard a shuttle. The colonies offer her the solitude she needs to find herself again, the tranquil environment where she may find the energy to heal.
Nothing goes as planned as the shuttle is sabotaged and its Commander antagonistic towards her.
With her own shields in place and projecting an image not many can see through, Clara is beginning her own trials. Will she be able to cope with living free? Will she remember who she really is? Will she fight for what she wants?
This is part of a series but can be read as a single novel.
WARNING: This book contains some violence and sexual situations which make it unadvisable for younger readers. (A YA edition is available of each of the series.)
Author Rachel Walker enjoys the strange and unusual. Family and friends are a huge influence on her day to day life but she tries to make time for fun. A lover of film and music, she's an avid (bordering on obsessive) reader of anything unusual. From romance to horror her taste in books is as wide as her musical interests which comprise of Meatloaf, Lo Fang, 50 Seconds to Mars and Pink. Eclectic by nature she collects anything which takes her fancy.
Her day job in a school keeps her young at heart, but slightly crazy too. Never actually diagnosed with anything certifiable she transfers her imagination to the page via words. Her writing often takes the form of Science Fiction, but contemporary works occasionally appear.
'The Gifted Series', were her first attempts at writing, completed on a challenge by a friend. Once written 'Anya' stayed hidden on her computer for almost a year before she grew brave enough to show it to someone. Since them 'The Gifted Series' has extended to four books, the first of which, 'Anya', now included 'The Beginning'.
