Tristan Warner's life is hard and it’s only getting worse. He’s used to dodging his abusive mother, and hearing people's thoughts sucks, but being arrested for the murder of a little old lady is by far the worst thing that’s happened to him…until now.
With secret societies waging war over whether to help or kill him, Tristan runs and ends up marooned on an island of people who can help him develop his gift. When the girl he loves to hate (or hates to love) is kidnapped by a man out to conquer the world, Tristan utilizes powers that even he didn't know he possessed to get to her. Now, Tristan must save his girl, rescue a mystical creature entombed in an emerald before evil taps into its power, and get back to the island before all hell breaks loose. Except it’s already too late.
SECRETS OF THE MAKAI, a Young Adult Urban Fantasy, is an epic tale mixing elements of mystery, magic, and the supernatural. This story will appeal to boys and girls who enjoy a character driven, coming-of-age adventure with a slight dose of fantasy.
