Amara Briar, 21, is from a small town, raised as an only child by her parents and grandmother. Life is simple, each day she wakes up and works in her parent's flower shop- Amara doesn't need anything else, simpleton life being a nobody is perfect for her.
She begins to notice strange things happening around her though, like the seeds she planted in her mother's garden growing out of control, or vases shattering on their own when she gets overwhelmed at the shop.
It's all just a coincidence though right?
Amara finds out that her life is indeed extremely, unordinary... as in she's actually a shifter. She has powers that are out of her control, and by letting them run rampant, she's endangering those she loves. Other magical beings and creatures can sense the immense power she holds, and she will come to learn her place in the realm of everything supernatural is critical.
As she is found by other shifters who offer her training and control, she learns to navigate love, discover her origins, and her voice. The discovery that she could fulfill a long time prophecy of Circe- the sorceress who gave the first shifters their power- puts Amara to the true test. Will she find the strength in herself to complete the prophecy, or will sinister forces deliver her to her doom?

The Shifters - Awakening** is filled with fantasy lore, creatures, and finds its source out of Greek mythology. If you love of tale of romance, coming of age, and fantasy, then this book is for you. Give it a read, and I hope it brings you as much joy as I had creating it.

**NOTE: This is a rework of my original book, The Shifters: New Beginnings. Mia is rewritten as Amara, and Alex becomes Theo. While the story basis is similar, the settings and characters have been rewritten to some extent, and not set in high school. If you liked my first version, I think you'll fall in love with this one even more, as it is more mature writing and a more developed plot.
