As a teenaged Padawan, Kloji Fross is learning the ways of the force a little later than any other Padawan. Even though she is extremely strong in the force, or is said to be by other Masters, she is going a lot slower than Jedi her age. Soon, though, her life will change forever when the previous Jedi Anakin Skywalker turns to the dark side, destroying the temple, along with killing many other Jedi. Will Kloji make it out alive, or will she be one of those many Jedi who find the temple to be their final resting place? And if she does make it, how will she survive with the sith now searching and destroying any and all Jedi they find?

Sixteen-year-old Keegan is struggling to keep her huge secret from her friends—she’s an elf, descended from a long line of elves that lives in secrecy alongside humans. In elfin society, mates are predetermined but not allowed to meet until they are 18. Against tradition, Keegan’s brother Thad told her Rourk’s name because his visions warned him she’d need Rourk’s protection, especially since Keegan will play a key role in the coming war between the dark and light elves. Rourk finds himself drawn to Keegan’s side every time she thinks his name. He wants to talk to her but remains in the shadows, silently guarding her every time she mentally beckons him. A twist of fate thrusts the two of them together when Rourk is forced to step up his protection and make his presence known. An ancient prophecy deeply entwines Keegan’s family in the future of their society. Depending on the outcome of the battle Keegan and Rourk may never have their life together.
