Amethyst

Magic, Powers, faraway lands filled with things that aren't humanly possible.

These are the things Shelby Collins has read in books.

Yet everything becomes different when she actually begins to live them.

Growing up, Shelby has always believed her life to be normal. Normal school, normal life, not much to expect. Yet Shelby's whole world is changed in the span of one afternoon when she returns home to find her parents gone, home ransacked.

Upon returning to her ransacked home, her childhood friend, Ben, explains to her that she is the next Gemstone Protector, destined to stop the next Ruby War. While filled with the uncertainty and the belief that anyone else would be better suited for this, she and Ben travel to Liliya, a world filled with things Shelby once only read about in books.

As Shelby spends her time in Liliya, hoping to rescue her parents as soon as possible, as the enemy becomes stronger and gets closer to achieving their goal, will Shelby be able to defeat him and finally bring peace to the world she must for now call home? Or will her journey swallow her like a tidal wave and push her down the path to defeat?
