Description:
Aislinn
and Sebastian, along with Mya and Caleb, set off to the Amazon
Rainforest in search of the legendary visionary guru. When Aislinn
and Caleb become separated from the group, they must adapt to the
extreme conditions of the rainforest. Fending off exotic animals,
building shelter, and finding food become necessities in this
mysterious world.
During
their separation, Sebastian and Mya are captured and must find a way
to escape being sacrificed by the Rebel Leaders. Luckily, Aislinn and
Caleb come to their rescue only to come face to face with an
uprising.
As
Aislinn learns more about her spirit animal, the red-tailed hawk, she
discovers that she holds the keys to her memories and that her
memories hold the keys to her purpose.
Excerpt
Sebastian continues to fight off the
Rebel Leaders, but his body becomes weaker and weaker and he suddenly
falls to the ground.
“Sebastian! Sebastian!” I
bellow.
My world is crashing all around
me. Intolerable worry and fear take over my mind. What is happening?
I shake it off and stare at Sebastian. My Sebastian. Then I see Caleb
lying near him and his eyelids are closed. Their gone! Both of them,
gone. I continue swiping away Rebel Leaders with my talons, but my
sadness is strong. I want to fall too.
Then, out of nowhere, rage
comes over me. I am madder than ever. My body is boiling hot and I am
infuriated. My weak posture straightens itself and I stand tall.
“AHHHHHHHHHHH,” I scream. I
squawk and screech and squawk and screech again while shaking my
body, causing the earth floor to rumble. I’ve had enough of this.
I’m done.
I screech again, only this time
my screech is so loud that the ground shakes hard and trees begin to
fall and a swirling wind begins to pick up speed all around me. The
Rebel Leaders stop what they’re doing. The mystical creatures stop
what they’re doing and an eerie calm begins to take place. No one
says a word as all eyes are on me.
I stop my erratic outburst and
notice my body has elevated into the air. I am not flying. I am
hovering. Thousands of tropical birds start to surround me. My hawk
body begins to leave and I feel my human body begin to take form. I
struggle in the air trying to hold on to my hawk body, but it won’t
listen. I can’t change back, no, not now. My head pops through and
yet I am still floating steadily in the air. I desperately struggle
to remain in hawk form. It is my only chance for survival.
Suddenly, I black out while
airborne. I travel telepathically to the place I visited before. I
move so fast I can barely catch my breath. I try to grab the walls
around me. I need to be back at the village to save Sebastian. I
struggle to go back, but my body continues to glide forward.
“It’s okay, Aislinn,” a
familiar, gentle voice says.
“What? Who are you? Where am
I? Am I dead?” I ask.
“You need to tell them who
you are and what you’re there for. They will listen to you. Your
power is in your voice,” she says. I try to look for the person who
belongs to this beautiful voice, but there is no one around.
“I need to go back. I have to
help Sebastian. He’s dying.”
“Aislinn, remember who you
are,” she says to me.
“But, I can’t.”
“You can. Believe,” the
voice says more firmly.
I close my eyes and try to
believe, but sadness takes over my heart and I begin to cry.
Sebastian is dying and he needs me. Everyone keeps telling me to
believe and remember. I remember what this voice has told me before,
but I don’t remember my past on my own.
In that very moment, my eyes
reopen and a powerful electrical jolt shakes my entire body. My brain
starts calculating my repressed memories and my eyes start
fluttering. Every memory flashes through my brain one after another
and then I feel it. I know who I am. I remember!
