The Children Of Light: An Awakening

"An Awakening" is the first book in "The Children Of Light" series by Heather Krenk. Every person on earth has been given gifts, talents. These gifts vary in substance and intensity. All are here to develop these talents; to use these gifts for a common purpose. Because they worked diligently, some honed their skills to incredible levels. Their gifts followed them here. Here is where they will be tried. Here is where they will be tested. Here is where some of them will rise...and here is where some of them will fall. As truths about their ancestors' pasts surface, Alexine and Callan are awakened to the fact that they are not just two teenagers on a temporary trip to a school for individuals with unusual abilities. Thrown into a world they had no idea existed, the girls have become part of a reality they will spend a lifetime trying to understand. They, along with other gifted children, are the future hope of our world; a world that is sinking further and further into darkness. As the struggle for freedom begins, the girls are drawn into a conflict which is vitally important and eternal in nature and consequence. Choosing sides soon becomes a battle which threatens to tear the sisters apart.
