Thirteen-year-old Auna’s empathic abilities are considered a gift by others, but to her it’s a burden, especially since her mother’s death. That is until a raven lures her behind a bush with her father’s pocket watch and into a bright mystical world where she discovers that her burden is the key to retaining balance.

In Kinzearl, Auna is told of her destiny to be the new Skipper, the one who can travel between realms to maintain balance between them. Overwhelmed with the choice to take on the role of the Skipper, or to choose another to take her place, she is soon confronted with a more alarming fact…her father is in Kinzearl and is in grave danger.

With the support from her two shapeshifting Protectors, a Watcher, and some new mystical friends, Auna must accept her destiny, learn to control her power and believe in herself. If she succeeds, she will not only save her father but restore the energy between realms. But if Auna cannot accept her fate within twenty-four human hours, her father and all Kinzearl may end up just another fairytale.
