Chase was twelve the first time he
arrived in a strange land where dark, ominous clouds never move, ancient trees
violently spring to life during Darkness, and people seem to live without
emotion. Doctors tell him they’re hallucinations, but he knows his visits are
real. She’s there-Sash-and she’s more real than anyone he’s ever
known.
His visits stop but, as years pass, the memories haunt Chase. Without
warning, the young man suddenly finds himself again in a world called Krymzyn.
Arriving during Darkness, he’s rescued from death by the extraordinary,
beautiful but terrifying young woman he first met when he was twelve.
When Chase is thrust into the war of balance against vile creatures who
threaten all who live there, Sash helps him understand his purpose in Krymzyn. A
dark secret from the beginning of time reveals he might be able to stay there
forever. To prove he belongs in Krymzyn and be with the only woman he can ever
love, Chase will have to risk his own life in the ultimate

Dust
by Sarah Daltry
Publication Date: November 7th, 2014
Genre: YA Fantasy
Synopsis:
Who makes YOUR choices?
“I was once the type of person who was impressed by starlight; the type of
person who would dance beneath glass ceilings and let the world swim in its
loveliness. The sky reminds me of the parties we used to throw – parties like
the one last night. The memories bring back the trill of harps and endless
ripples of satisfied laughter. Now, though, when I try to recall what I felt,
all I hear is screaming.”
In a world ravaged by war and oppressive forces of evil, a princess must
fight to claim her bloodright and save her people.
When the princess, Alondra, falls for the beautiful, blue eyes of a hooded
stranger, it awakens in her a taste for freedom and an escape from her duty.
But her parents have other plans; they have a kingdom to protect and Alondra
must marry to ensure the peace between nations. Only what happens when your
parents choose a cold-hearted assassin as your betrothed?
As lies, illusions, and long hidden vendettas surface, the princess has to
confront a very secret history. One that makes her realize that she not only
risks losing her liberty, but also everything she has known and loved.
