BLURB:
Kaylen has been in the dark for fourteen years – in every sense. His people are hunted, so they must struggle to survive within underground caves. His community despises his family, taunting him constantly. His parents keep him housebound, forbidding him from wielding sword or wand.
When he is finally allowed to attend school, the harsh truth reveals he has much to learn – including a unique magical ability. Kaylen can summon and control skeletons!
With surface-dwellers threatening war, he will need every friend he can make, and to stay true to himself if he is to survive what is to come.

Enjoy The Excerpt
Chapter 3: Kaylen summons his first skeleton
As Kaylen repeated the words, the strangest thing happened. The earth in Kaylen’s hand started moving. At first it was very slow but then much quicker, in a circular motion like a tiny tornado. The small twister then hopped off of Kaylen’s hand and headed straight for the ground. Once it hit the ground, it disappeared into the floor.
As this was the first sign that Kaylen had any magical powers, he was smiling brightly when he asked the professor what was going on.
“Wait,” said the professor, not looking up at the boy. His eyes were still trained on the floor.
Suddenly, the ground started shaking. In the middle of the floor where the dirt had disappeared, a skeleton hand popped out from the ground. Then a second skeleton hand popped out. The hands seemed to brace themselves on the floor to pull up the rest of the body as the head, torso, and, eventually, the legs magically appeared from below. The full skeleton stood up in the middle of the room. It was at least six feet tall, with sparkling white bones, and… strangely enough… it had Kaylen’s bright green eyes.

I grabbed a copy and will be sure to do a review. Thanks so much and wishing you the best on your tour!
You had me at “freebie.”
Hee Hee! Hi there Elisabeth. I hope you find some time to read it between writing and college. How is it going at school?
Sounds intriguing! Thank you for the copy of the book! Thank you for the review and the contest!
I can’t wait to read this too! And that cover is something else, isn’t it?!
Did you like the cover? It’s so difficult to get an illustrator to draw what seems so clear in your mind lol. I thought it turned out pretty good.
I love the cover! It screams magic and scary adventure. Covers with a graphic comic book look always grab my attention. It’s excellent.
That’s also why I left it so huge. There is a lot of telling going on with the cover. It’s important to me that the cover art represents the story.
I’m glad you liked the cover. Hope you enjoy the book! 🙂
Cool cover.
I know. I love it!
I have to get my free copy after reading that – sounds fabulous. That cover is also an attention getter.
