The Awakening (First in the Dynasty Cycle)

In a world divided by the hand of Lord Chaos, war rages between brothers. Julian Silverrain pushes the elven people to adapt, to expand in the eye of industry, to become more like the humans who so greatly poplulate the face of Elan. Adrian Silverrain struggles to keep to the old ways of his people, in an attempt to preserve the balance of the Races. But so too does he struggle with the crippling blows of his own twin's betrayals. Enter Starla Smith, a simple human girl from Earth... or so she thought. In a strange circumstance that led her and her best friend Walter Stevens into a portal that took them to the battlefield that was Elan, she learns that for once in her life she is truly home. And she is the only key to ending this battle, for she is the last remaining heir of the children of both sea and sky. But, will she be able to overcome her own pain and fear to step up and reclaim the Olynyn throne and restore peace to the Mother's creation?
