Life is pretty hard as a teenager, and that's not including the itsy bitsy detail of me being able to travel back in time through my dreams and...oh I don't know....change the course of history.
This is a pretty recent development, and I have NO clue what to do about it. Not only that but there is some incredibly sexy but super creepy new dude who's rocked up in my small town and he seems hell-bent on making my life even more complicated.
So in between finding time to do my homework and watching out for my best friends not-so-friendly new boyfriend, I need to be saving a young Napoleon Bonapartes ass from trouble before he can grow up to become the vertically challenged military officer we know him as today...but you know, typical day in the life of Elena Kristal.

"He leaned in so close that for a second I thought he was going to kiss me. Then he pulled back and remained quiet for a little while, until he spoke in a low voice. "Marie, there's something I need to tell you." While average teenage girls have to deal with the stress of pop quizzes, cheating boyfriends, two hours' worth of homework, and choosing which Instagram picture makes them look the skinniest, Marie is far from a normal teenage girl. She has no idea what is happening to her as she tries to convince herself she's either going crazy or that these new abilities of super strength, sense, and controlling the elements are just unusual signs of puberty. Things start to get even more crazy when Adam Keller, an incredibly attractive new boy, tries to tell her she is the heir to the most powerful line of witches and that it's his job to train her to use her powers. Marie somehow finds herself in the middle of a love triangle and is forced to face conflicts that make her whole world shatter. What will Marie do when she confronts having powers, killing demons, and trying to avoid a boy that makes her heart flutter? Will she be able to walk away from everything she has ever known?

I will be posting the prologue and first chapter to give you an idea of what it is about. This book is meant for middle schooler's and early high schooler's who enjoy paranormal romance, a strong witty heroin, and action.Complete
