When Lightning Calls: Book 1 of the Time Thieves Series

What would you do if you discovered you were going to live for a thousand years, slowly aging while all the people you loved died a normal human death? Lightning Holders are an ancient and proud people that live for hundreds of years, and Elaina Sparks soon learns she is a descendant from this bloodline. Elaina is your typical American woman. She is 22, beautiful, ready to graduate college, and has an amazing adopted family. Even though her life is basically perfect, she often wonders about the biological family she never had the chance to know. She is mostly shy and more than willing to let her sister, Beth, do all the shining for the both of them. Elaina and Beth's lives are uprooted when a blood tie tracks down Elaina, determined to protect her from the family's age-old enemy. When the enemy attacks, Elaina and Beth have no choice but to seek shelter. They are transported to the ancient desert kingdom of Elaina's ancestors. There, Elaina learns secrets of a people the world had forgotten, and discovers strengths she had never known she possessed. But the people fear her, for they believe she brought the hated enemy straight to their doorsteps. The worst part is, they are right. Elaina realizes that while the kingdom has come together to fight a common enemy, she is at war with herself. Two prophecies are linked and depending on who she is, Elaina will determine whether or not her ancestral home will fall. When Elaina is finally coming to terms with who she thinks she is, a decision has to be made that wrecks her life, and her heart, forever.
