Synopsis

When you’re extraordinary, you’re a target. When you’re ordinary, you are invisible. Emma’s gifts make her extraordinary, yet she sees them as a curse and herself as a monster. All she wants is to be invisible. However, God has a different plan. When the life of her adoptive mother hangs in the balance, Emma uses her gift to save her. This selfless act makes Emma a target and hurtles her into the light. Kaiden is a Light-Warrior and the leader of the Elite Team. At thirty-four, he has a year left to receive a Light-Partner or lose his Light-wielding ability. When an angelic messenger tells him she’s on the way but that he must protect her, he is blinded by man’s rules and rejects the precious gift. Levi is a retired Light-Warrior who grudgingly serves as an Elder. All he wants is to be left alone. When an untrained White-Light is rejected by the Elders, he is forced to act or risk leaving her open to exploitation. Children of Light–Book 1 - Into the Light takes place after the rapture and ensuing apocalypse. The story follows the lives of Emma, Kaiden, and Levi, as they seek to carry out God's will and save the world from a dark enemy. A dark enemy who lurks in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike and end the Light. Will they be able to overcome and follow God's plan, or will they fail and succumb to the threatening darkness?

Book Excerpt

Children of Light - Book 1 Into the Light

“I will go…” Emma’s voice trailed off as a lump formed in her throat. She swallowed hard. A tear meandered down her smooth cheek, resting on the tip of her chin before dropping into her lap. She didn’t wipe her face, for she knew that would only expose her Light, so she let the tears flow as they may. Her heart was breaking, who cared if a few tears flowed.

“Emi, we promise, this is the best thing for you. The Academy is a wonderful place and you will learn so much and make lifelong friends.” Cassie looked in desperation at her husband for help.

“If you don’t like it, you can just come home. We promise.” Tegean encouraged his ward.

“How do you know they’ll even accept me?”

“One look at your gift and talents and they will. Take my word for it.” Tegean’s confidence eased her fears.
