The Waking: Book 1 of the Elder Born

When Hunters kidnap her parents, Elana sets out on a dangerous journey to save them. With her Elder Born Skills yet untrained, she is left vulnerable to those who would use those powers for their own ends. She crosses paths with Aidan, also fleeing pursuit, and together they embark on what seems to be a fool’s mission, searching for a lost relic said to restore the Ancient Ones’ protection to the land. This throws them into the midst of the power struggle that is threatening to consume the Vale. None of the uncertainties of this undertaking however, can prepare them for the choices they must make, or the cost of following their dreams.
