The island of Strengths
Where gifts define you, friendships shape you, and love refuses to be forgotten. Hidden off the coast of England lies an island like no other-a school where the extraordinary learn to master their strengths. Some command water, some bend steel, some can slip into your very thoughts. And then there is her. Her gift isn't loud or dangerous. With a touch, she can mend what is broken-objects, wounds, even the cracks people carry inside. Surrounded by her closest friends, she should feel whole. But some things even she cannot fix. Max. Her childhood best friend. Her first love. The boy who knew everything-literally-and the man who left her behind. His gift of knowledge made him brilliant, but it also made him cold, and when their powers clashed, he broke her heart. Now, at twenty-two, he is no longer hers. He's a teacher at the school... and married to someone else. But love doesn't vanish just because it's buried. Every stolen glance, every unspoken word threatens to unravel the fragile life she's built among her friends. And when the past refuses to stay quiet, she must face the truth: some bonds can be broken, but others are impossible to let go. Part magical academy, part aching love story, The island of strengths is a tale of friendship, power, and a romance too strong to be forgotten.

"There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do."
