Awakening Series

From the outside, seventeen-year-old Siena has the perfect life. She and her two younger sisters are adored by their wealthy father and grandmother. They are removed from the world, living in a modern-day castle in the middle of their grand family estate on the majestic shores of Maine. There is nothing to fear—Siena’s father has made sure of that. Unfortunately, he has forgotten that the greatest threats can come from within. On the edge of their idyllic property is a dilapidated inn built long ago. Thomas, the boy Siena grew up with, is drawn to the weathered building next to the sea. He is the opposite of Luca, the troubled young man who just moved to the expansive property. While Thomas tries to draw Siena closer to the inn, Luca warns her to stay away. The inn holds far more mysteries than Siena’s family is willing to tell … but ignorance provides no protection. Awakening is the first in a new series by best-selling author Jacqueline Brown. She again invites readers into a world of intriguing characters and vivid scenes which prompt readers to suspend belief in the limits of physical reality and subtly question—Is there something more?

Siena has spent most of her life unaware of the world beyond what we can all see and touch. That changes when she’s forced to accept the world as it really is … The world Luca knows to be true is no longer something Siena can deny, after her own so-called gifts reveal the unseen darkness that has been oppressing her family for generations. Her gifts confuse her, but she doesn’t fear them. Her new abilities terrify Luca—he understands them too well. Will Siena’s gifts destroy her, as Luca fears? Is he strong enough to stay by her side, or are the memories of the past too much, even for him? In the second book of the Awakening Series, past darkness is discovered, present chains are released, future beauty glimpsed.
