(This Book has Been Discontinued) Have you ever wished you could be someone else?' If you have I want to punch you in the face right at the moment... But I am getting ahead of myself here. This story is about a girl who moves to a different school... This starting to sound cliche isn't it?' But Hey! On the other hand this girl has been oblivious to magic all of her life until suddenly. *Wapang!* Reality hits her. Hard. But this girl has a good reason for not knowing about all that, in fact this girl has a good reason for a lot of things, and that girl, out of everyone in this world just so happens to be me. And when I do find out about magic that's when the story really begins, when this entire enchanted adventure begins.' The question I keep wondering is this: Is it the road to an adventure or the path to a complete nightmare. Which ever is which, that's something your going to have to find out on your own...

Book II of SEIZE THE DAY, Winner of the 2014 Wattys Instant Addiction Award. If you haven't read Book I, SEIZE THE DAY, please do! There are spoilers ahead! **** Lannie Brackenbury never thought she would be sent on a dangerous quest to save the world. But after she discovered her destiny as a Harbinger, that idea took a drastic twist. Bestowed with abilities that she is still learning to use, Lannie is sent on a journey that will take her across Etheia, where she must negotiate a peace treaty between the magical kingdom of Eremith and the human kingdom of Nor to break the vicious cycle of slavery. But making peace in the world of Etheia is not as easy as it seems. Therin, the bloodthirsty Drakain that ruined Lannie's life, is still moving in the shadows, convincing the world to doubt the existence of the Harbingers. And when a terrifying beast cloaked in darkness attacks Lannie, she realizes that defeating Therin is the least of her worries. Humans and magical creatures are on the brink of another war. This time, it is far more dangerous than Lannie could ever have imagined. There is a dark force at work that is bent on destroying not only Nor, but Eremith as well. And it will take everything that Lannie has to stop it. ---- Cover: Model © Ylenia Manganelli via PrincessandDragon.deviantart.com; Background © Sean & Ashlie Nelson via AshenSorrow.deviantart.com; edited by me
