Elara Lane thought summer in Coral Bay would be a fresh start - new town, new house, no old friends to hold her back.
But the golden beaches hide secrets, and the huge summer houses aren't the only mysterious things in town.
A strange necklace, a hidden rift, and a boy from another time who only she can see pull her into a world no one else knows exists. Then there's Ewan - the boy from her past who suddenly comes back, familiar but... different. Summer was supposed to be simple, but past and present collide, hearts are tested, and a destiny she never asked for is coming. Can she trust love... or will the rift choose for her?

The hidden heir:Beyond the crown
In the high-tech, magic-touched kingdom of **Aurelia**, every royal is born into the spotlight - except one. **Princess Elara Vale**, the youngest child of the royal family, was hidden from the world after a prophecy declared she would "awaken what was lost." To keep her safe, her parents erased her existence from public records. She grew up surrounded by love from her siblings but always behind walls, longing to see the world for herself. When her secret is accidentally leaked, Elara runs away - not in rebellion, but in search of freedom, identity, and purpose. In the neon city of **Ravenport**, she meets **Kael Arden**, a quiet mechanic with no memory of his childhood and a strange amulet that glows in her presence. As they form a bond, they're joined by a group of unexpected friends - a hacker, a healer, and a street magician - each searching for their own truth. Together, they discover that Kael is the lost prince of the long-vanished Shadow Realm, kidnapped at birth, and that the prophecy ties both of them to the future of their worlds. Through their journey, Elara learns what it means to live beyond a title. Kael learns what it means to belong. And their friends - ordinary people with extraordinary hearts - become the family they choose. It's a story about **finding friendship, courage, and self-worth** in a world that often defines you by what you were born to be - not who you choose to become.

Undertow by K.R. Conway (1st book in trilogy)
** BARNES AND NOBLE TEEN SELECTION 2015 - TOP 7 YA's THAT WILL LEAVE YOU TERRIFIED OF THE OCEAN ** "Dawson's Creek meets Jaws and The Goonies in a twisted, supernatural tale unlike anything I've ever read. I am totally addicted!" - ARC reviewer SUMMARY: Eila Walker knows luck is not a friend, so she is downright shocked to inherit a million-dollar Cape Cod home. And yeah, her new town isn't perfect: the cheerleaders are heinous clones, the local undertow can kill ya, and her Great Grams was supposedly fried by lightning in the harbor square. Still, Eila is hopeful her luckless days are in the past . . . until history decides to repeat itself. When Raef O'Reilly becomes her friendly, yet weirdly protective shadow, Eila thinks life is pretty darn perfect - until she is hauled beneath the waves by an unnatural undertow. Revealing coal-black eyes and iron-like strength as he rescues her, Raef can no longer hide what he is . . . or what she can do. Eila, last of her kind, can supposedly channel the power of human souls, while Raef is more adept at stealing them. Even worse, the legend about her ancestor isn't such a myth, since Eila's grandmother was one kick-butt warrior until her lightning-like power backfired. A power that is written all over Eila's DNA. Determined to stay one step ahead of a dangerous clan that is hunting her, Raef, along with three unlikely allies, will do all they can to protect her. But as hidden pieces of their brutal histories unravel, Eila begins to understand just what went down in the harbor square. She soon realizes that following in her grandmother's fearless footsteps may be the only way to save those she loves . . . including Raef.Complete
