Books in The Rayne Trilogy series

Once upon a time, there was a girl who was naïve enough to believe reason and logic were all it took to sway even the darkest of hearts. Then one day, she discovered a world unlike her own. It was in this world—a darkened land—where she learned the truth. She returned to her reality and uncovered the depths of darkness hidden behind a shroud of illusion. …And then her world as she knew it ceased to exist. In grief and despair, she discovered a new thing, and she devoured it. She savored the taste of it, the way it lingered on her tongue and left her hungry for more. Yet she did not worry when the next taste would come, and she knew one day she would have her fill of it. As the last bites dribbled down her chin, mingling with the drizzling rain, she lifted her face to the sky and gave the thing a name: Vengeance.

On her 17th birthday, she awakens from a night which she never should have experienced. She is convinced it will change her life for the better. When she confides in her parents, they force her to keep the thing which finally makes her normal a secret in fear of how their governing Board members will react. And when the Luminescence comes to her a second time, her longing to be normal is now a shattered dream.Desperate to learn why this is happening to her 15 years late, she soon realizes the answers lie beyond her colony, in the capitol. If anyone has the answers, the Board will. But before her chance ever comes, she’s involved in a deadly incident which threatens the life of another. As her world unravels, she becomes even more of an outcast. Once longing for purpose and belonging in her colony, she’s now desperate to leave the only life she’s ever known in hopes of uncovering the reason for it all, and to discover if there are others out there who are just like her.
