Morgan lost her mother when she was two. At eighteen, her father and

Lemorian Crest(Cobbogoth #2)
Author: Hannah L.
Clark
Release
Date: July 2015
Summary
from Goodreads:
After being raised from infancy in
Boston, Mass., Noria (a.k.a Norah Lukens) has no idea what to expect upon
entering New Cobbogoth, where she never would have guessed that paths of light
can make you vanish; doors can lead to realms both near and far; myths and
legends are actual history; a mere kiss can seal two souls as one; and, of
course, a stone is never “just a stone.” Her Uncle Jack’s stories never could
have prepared her for the magical and dangerous place her native realm is
turning out to be.
When the Gihara’s promises begin to crumble, her best friend and soul-mate
Jamus (a.k.a. James Riley) is in more danger than ever. Then when his father
Lylend abandons her to search for an ancient relic called The Lemorian Crest
and she is taken captive by the very people she’s risked everything to save,
Noria begins to lose faith in the Cobbogothian gods and the mission they sent
her home to accomplish.
Only when a series of new friendships and loyalties are forged in the most
peculiar of places, does Noria dare hope again. Hope for Jamus’ safety, for
their future together, and for the survival of the entire Cobbogothian race.
Book 1: Uncovering Cobbogoth was published in 2014 by Cedar Fort Publishing.
