Description:
One is Come is
the first installment in a YA fantasy saga full of hidden plot twists and
turns. The centuries-old prophesy of the One is being fulfilled, and the
ancient dragon clans are coming out of hiding to remake the world. The king of
the magic users will stop at nothing to be sure the prophecy is fulfilled the
right way--with his oppressive government ruling. As they struggle for power,
Haylwen (14) and her brother Cadarn (16) just happen to be caught dead center.
In this first
book, meet fourteen-year-old Haylwen Rightad. She doesn’t think “crazy” runs in
her family, but she might be wrong. Fish seem to listen when she talks. She
finds herself wearing jewelry she can’t remember putting on. And then there was
the explosion at school…and her ex-principal trying to kidnap her…and her
brother? Don’t even ask. All she wants is to be an ordinary teenager. Live a
normal life. Go to school, make friends, and not have to move a zillion times.
Oh, and getting the bullies off her back? That’d be nice, too.
What Haylwen
doesn’t know is why all this crazy stuff is happening to her. But she’s about
to find out. The bad news? Things aren’t going to be “normal” any time soon!
With a
mysterious prophecy, magical secrets and more than a few dragons, ONE IS COME
is the first book in the adventures of siblings Haylwen and Cadarn as they come
to discover they have powers they never dreamt of — and a destiny only they can
fulfill.

Blog Tour Dream Cast & Giveaway - Pillars of Fire by Laurice E. Molinari
Pillars of Fire
by Laurice E. Molinari
Synopsis:
After Vero Leland discovered his true identity
in book one, he must continue to maintain his life on earth as a regular
12-year-old kid, which is hard to do when you are really a fledgling, a guardian
angel in training to become one of the fiercest of all angels. At any moment, he
could be called to the Ether, the spiritual realm surrounding the earth, where
he must face whatever trials come his way in angel school, aka C.A.N.D.L.E. (the
Cathedral of Angels for Novice Development, Learning and Edification). In book
two, part of Vero s training involves the Angel Trials, a set of three
challenges where he and his group of fellow fledglings compete with angels from
other realms.
But while he is competing in the Ether, back on earth his
sister is in trouble. She has a new friend who is leading her down the wrong
path. During the third trial, Vero realizes he must choose between saving his
sister or winning his competition. But the attack on Clover is only a means to
get to Vero, and he finds himself face-to-face with an evil even greater than
what he experienced in the Bottomless Pit. Once again, he is tested beyond what
any previous fledgling has endured, and how the battle ends will affect not only
his grade in C.A.N.D.L.E., but also the fate of the world."
