Book Cover & Preview Text
I sit up and gather my thoughts. I feel refreshed and ready to continue my journey when I notice a light ahead. The light slowly hovers closer, and wraps me in its radiant glow. It is neither hot, nor cold, bright nor dark. It just is. The luminescence continues to engulf me, and stops abruptly, as though it has captured the victim upon which it has been preying for the last two days. The road beneath me exists no more. I panic momentarily when I realize I am floating before a precipice that appears between what is left of the road and the light.
There is no question that I will step into that precipice, because I have no other choice, but I am uncertain of the consequences. From the time since I became lost in the void until now, I have been certain of nothing, so I walk into the light and find myself being sucked, uncontrollably, into another raging vortex. Instantly, the light that greeted me is now spinning violently about me. But as soon as I realize what is happening, I am standing on solid ground, surrounded by the unfamiliar.

About the Book
Ayizan appears to live the life of a normal teenager, but she hides a tremendous secret: she is human and extraterrestrial.
Ayizan’s older sister—whom she’s never met—has been watching Zan from her home planet for over a year now, using her tarot cards. But when Zan’s impetuous behavior compromises the safety of other extraterrestrial inhabitants of Earth, the older sibling must intervene. Unable to put her distrust for her sister aside, Mercedes plots to prevent Zan from completing her Immersion, a rite of passage, controlled by the ancient loa, or spirits of the voodoo culture. As the sisters’ complex relationship changes over time, they struggle to find common ground and understand each other while working for the good of the galaxy.
In this science fiction novel, two sisters of extraterrestrial origin must learn to work together to maintain the intergalactic balance between order and chaos.
