Shock of Fate: Anchoress Series Book One (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780998672038)

Like every other teenager on Providence Island, fifteen-year-old Vanessa Cross is so ready to party her summer away--until her father disappears. And rumors fly that he's a traitor.

Plucked from her ordinary life to journey to an alternate world to retrieve a priceless relic, Van bends--okay, breaks--the rules to sneak her best friend along to help with a quest of her own. Find her father. Prove his innocence.

What she finds will test her heart, her wits, and her courage, and push her along a stumbling path toward a destiny she never expected or wanted. Failure to rise to the challenge could destroy her friends. What's left of her family. And the people she was born to protect.
