Book Description:
A fierce wind and a blast of
green light during a strange storm causes everything to change for Katharine
Bowers and Becky Thatcher. The girls wake up in Oren, an entirely different
realm than their earthly city. They meet Enalie, a fading magical presence who
sets an incredible destiny before them… then simply disappears. Left alone to
fend off creatures that hunt them in the night, they must relay a magical
heritage that doesn’t make sense, and – if possible – save a world that they
know nothing about.

Chapter One
“Becky Thatcher,
turn that light off and go to sleep. Not only is it a school night, you have a
math test tomorrow.”
Becky wrinkled
her nose and reluctantly closed her Harry Potter book. Reaching from her bed,
she flicked off her bedside lamp. Out in the hall, Dad waited until the room
went dark before footsteps announced a retreat to his own bedroom.
Fluffing her
pillows in mild annoyance, she pouted about the unfairness of bedtimes. Math
tests too. Not school—she loved school. It was just that English was her
preferred subject, as well as Art and Music and even sometimes Social Studies.
Math was a dull and uncreative subject. Fractions didn’t make a lick of sense.
She doubted she would score well on that test tomorrow.
She could have
gone to sleep as Dad instructed without too much distress. It wasn’t the first
time she’d read J.K. Rowling’s famous work. She wouldn’t be tossing and turning
in agony all night, desperate to know the conclusion.
Except it was
Sunday night, the end of the weekend, and Becky wasn’t the least bit tired.
Since she wasn’t ready for sleep, and had no last-minute homework to complete,
there were only two things she could think to do: read or draw.
