Quintessential: Book 2: Kai (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798846741645)

"Dear Universe, Please don't take Kai. He is the kindest, most caring person. Please take me instead. Let Kai live." Iris pleaded, shaking and sobbing uncontrollably.

Birthdays are full of surprises, but this birthday has been life changing for the Trevino quints. Family secrets revealed, special gifts, and a deadly bite!

Never in her wildest nightmares did Iris ever imagine that she would be rushing back to the creek behind her house late on her 13th birthday. She was racing the clock to get the one plant that could save Kai's life. He had been stung by a Shiny Phoenix Wasp and the poison was spreading through his body. Obstacle after obstacle threatens to keep Iris from making it back in time. She can not, will not fail, for Kai's sake! Not to mention, her mother has never believed she could do things on her own, and she is not about to give her the satisfaction of being right. Will Iris make it in time? What other surprises will she learn along the way? Only time will tell.
