Seventeen is a life changing age for
Emma Wise.
As her family's sole survivor in a car
crash, she is left with a broken arm and a few scrapes and bruises.
But these are only outward marks; inside, her heart is broken and the
pieces scattered.
Whisked away to Alaska, to an aunt she’s never met, Emma starts over. Secrets unveil themselves and now…she doesn't even know who or what she is.
A centuries old prophecy places Emma in the heart of danger. Creatures of horrifying and evil proportions are after her, and it will take Emma, her aunt, and six, gorgeously captivating Guardians to keep her safe. But, if she can survive until her eighteenth birthday... things will change.

Excerpt:
“Thanks guys. I’m gonna miss you SO
much,” I said, as tears stung my eyes again.
“We’re going to miss you too! What are we going to do without you our last, crucial year? We’re finally going to be seniors,” Lia said, her eyes tearing as soon as she saw mine.
Jeremy looked at me, and a single tear grazed his cheek. He quickly turned away and lifted his glasses, quickly wiping his face with his shirt. That was the first time I’d ever seen Jeremy get emotional.
“You guys will be fine. And it won’t be forever. I promise to email and send pictures.”
“You better,” Lia said, wagging her finger at me.
And then… something happened. A sudden euphoric feeling; an unexplainable heat shot through every cell in my body. My pulse quickened, along with my breath, and tingles pricked my skin. A
rush of adrenaline flooded my veins and my surroundings began to haze. I grasped onto the edge of the bed, taking in long, deep breaths.
“Hey, are you okay?” Jeremy asked, scooting over to me, grabbing hold of my shoulders.
“Emma, what’s wrong?” Lia called, jumping behind me, pounding my back.
Hello! I’m not choking! I wanted to speak those words, but I couldn’t answer them. It was like all the breath had been sucked out of my lungs.
Then…there was a knock at the door, and we all turned to look.

Cameo Renae was born in San Francisco,
CA, was raised in Maui, Hawaii, and recently moved with her husband
and two teenage children to Alaska.
She loved reading from as long as she
can remember. C.S. Lewis’ - Chronicles of Narnia - sparked a fire
in her soul which made her want to create her own wondrous, magical
worlds, and awesome characters to go on adventures with.
Writing is her passion, and right now,
her head is stuck in the YA genre. Her debut novel, In My Dreams,
was picked up by Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly Publishing and
was re-published December 14, 2012.
Her newest novel, Hidden Wings
(Book 1 in the Hidden Wings Series) was also published with Crushing

One day she hopes to find her own magic
wardrobe, and ride away on her magical unicorn... Until then...
she’ll keep writing!
