DIAMOND QUILL WINNER for Novel of the Year, The League of Utah Writers

As long as Naomi could remember, she hid the scar on her neck. The star-shaped scar often shimmers and tingles, but mostly it burns, and the only thing Naomi has ever been instructed to do is hide it under a scarf.

But when a caravan of performers arrive in her obscure town, accompanied by the self-proclaimed prince of Southwick, Naomi's curiosity turns to an uncontrollable need for answers. The young woman accompanying the prince bears the very same scar. In one instant Naomi found a connection to her mysterious past. As Naomi rushes forward, she is snatched away by a dark stranger - turning her world to darkness and leaving her questions unanswered.

Naomi's life source is about to split open to reveal an overwhelming vessel of magic within her, and an origin that could undo everything.
