Blurb:
Last summer, Anna's world
got turned upside-down. It's hard to believe her travels to different worlds
and fantastic yet dangerous adventures really took place. Little things, like
the twinge of pain from her healing ribs, and a few relics, remind her that her
journeys did actually occur. David, a ghost she met on her travels, suddenly
reappears, bringing both old friends and foes back into her life. To help
Sabaska, Anna must attempt to rescue captured Travelers from a Vanir
stronghold, and still get home in time for school. An easy task compared to
dealing with her mixed feelings for Cahir.
Uncovering a Vanir plot to find a powerful lost mage will
test her strength and dedication to the Travelers. With the help of new and old
friends, they set out in search of the mage. He could tip the balance of the
war in either side’s favor and it’s up to Sabaska and Anna to get there first.
Excerpt:
"You have the most boring life," a faint
voice said in Anna's ear.
Straightening from her hunched position over her
math test, Anna looked wildly around, her heart racing.
"Right here," the voice said again.
Turning, she shrieked as a gray man solidified
next to her in the aisle. Her pencil snapped in her hand. She picked up one of
the broken ends and held it like a weapon.
"Now, is that anyway to treat an old
friend?"
Anna stared at the gray man a little longer, took
in the tight pants, belt full of pouches, and cloak. She sighed. Being able to
see through him should have been her first clue.
"Anna, is there a problem?" Her math
teacher, Mr. Frank, sounded annoyed.
Anna looked around. The entire class stared at
her. "Uh." She glanced at David, the apparition, and then back at the
class.
"Well, they can't see me right now, of
course." He sounded smug. "Would you like them to?"
"No," she muttered, answering both her
teacher and the ill-timed specter. "No. I'm sorry, Mr. Frank. I just
thought I saw something, like a ghost, and it scared me. I've been reading some
scary stories recently and I guess they got to me." It sounded lame, even
to her, especially in the middle of a midterm math test.
"Very well, Anna. Please keep your hauntings
to yourself in the future."
Several people in the class snickered. Karen, her best
friend, shot her a concerned look before going back to her test. Anna shut her
eyes for a minute, wondering what the gossips would say about the incident.
"We can talk later," she muttered at the ghost.
"Of course, Anna." His cultured voice
sounded amused and apologetic.
She shook her head, not really angry with David.
He had saved her and Sabaska's life over the summer and she could survive a few
days of ridicule so he could have some amusement. And he was right; her life
was boring. Especially after last summer. She pushed those thoughts away, took
a deep breath, and forced herself to focus on the test.
