16-year-old Alesea thinks her sole extraordinary trait is her musical talent. That changes when foreign Watchers invade her tiny island on the night of her professional debut. She alone escapes, unwittingly using the powers of a Knower.

Alesea must now save her people, but first she must come to grips with her dangerous new identity and her pacifist beliefs... and she has only a traitor to help her.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the first thrilling installment in "The Trekana" series of other-world, young adult, sci-fi/fantasy adventures.

Autorenporträt
AUTHOR: Jo Sisk-Purvis is an eclectic, enthusiastic, jump-in-feet-first creator, which means "scattered," but sounds more impressive. Her STEM-rich childhood led to a sensible three degrees in flute performance, with sides of composition, piano, and conducting. Jo has been a storyteller since she first learned that "Quack Quack knows that he's in luck, for he's a very special duck." For many years, she told her stories through music, but in 2010 decided that maternity leave was the perfect time to start writing novels (and adopt a puppy), and has been hooked ever since (on writing. Also puppies). Jo's short stories have been published in Cricket Magazine, and she is excited to share her "Trekana" series through Evolved Publishing. She teaches music at a wonderful Friends school that not only allows, but encourages, her quirky detours (they call them "diverse talents"). She music-directs for several theatre companies in central North Carolina, where she lives with her husband, three children, and a menagerie of pets from Captain the Cockatiel to her two sheep, Phineas and Ferb.
