Julian, a wheelchair-bound dreamer, and Anika, a quick-tempered rebel, are two children who do not belong. Their dreams in part come true when they are dragged into another world to help save humanity from the irrepressible 'blight', an environmental nightmare of its own making, using their imaginations to harness the power of metamorphosis. To succeed on their quest – retrieving a battery from the East to protect the blight survivors – they must resolve their differences and learn to work together. Their efforts, however, do not quite bear the fruits they were expecting.

Two tantalizing tales, magically intertwined, cross cultures and span centuries as three kids set out to save the lives of three others—who just happen to live in the Middle Ages!A stone lion roars....A sleek black cat speaks....A faun leaps from the canvas of a painting.... When Jared, Shireen, and Miranda are each given one glittering gift from an old Venetian shopkeeper, they never fathom the powers they are now able to unleash; they never expect that their very reality is about to be utterly upended. And the adventure has hardly begun. For in another time, centuries earlier, another trio—Rashid, Maria, and Francesca—have been thrown together under terrible circumstances: They have been kidnapped and, along with hundreds of other children, will be sold into child slavery. Unless, that is, they can find some way to save them all. But all their fates lie in the hands of Jared, Shireen, and Miranda. The future—and the lives—of these three very modern children become entirely intertwined with those of the children from the past. Danger, it seems, has a way of spanning centuries.

Through the Night is a beautifully illustrated poem that shares the true-life experience of how one grandmother finds peace and a heartfelt connection to her grandchildren when she lies awake missing them through the night. The reality of Gods presence everywhere, all the time, finally eases the distance between them and brings the comfort and peace she has been seeking.

On the morning of her sixteenth birthday, Renee Lewis was awakened by the smell of her favorite breakfast cooking, interrupting an incredible, yet odd dream. Like any other sixteen-year-old, she was dreaming of driving around in a red sports car after finally getting her driver's license. What was so unusual was her passenger: a gorgeous, foreign boy arrogantly displaying a flirtatious grin. This somewhat shy and unpretentious girl—busy vying for the role of valedictorian, spending time at church, and hanging out with her best friend Jamie—had never let a boy be a distraction. But she had to wonder...was this dream trying to tell her something? Was it time for a change?That change comes with the arrival of Kyran, a devilishly handsome young man who unexpectedly shows up at her school and suddenly all her priorities began to shift. He quickly gained the attention of her best friend and every other girl at school. Renee, more annoyed by him at first, was eventually won over by his over-the-top charm. It wasn't long before temptations and tribulations, unlike any she's ever had to face before, began to change the course of Renee's life ensuring that nothing would ever be the same again. This once sheltered and in-control girl becomes lost and confused, turning to worldly desires to ease her pain. Aware that Renee is in constant danger from the dark side, God assigns a very special angel to protect her. And so the immense battle for Renee's soul begins—a battle that will impact not only her friends and family but also the quaint town of Westcliffe, Colorado.Through the Night is Christian fiction with the young adult in mind. The author uses a stimulating storyline of innocent, forbidden love to capture the reader's attention. However, within its pages lie deep inspirational messages.

With unexpected twists and turns, that will keep the reader on edge, one thing is very clear: God is always in control even when all hope seems lost. Complete with humor, suspense, and scripture throughout, Through the Night will keep its audience captivated to the last page and leave them wanting more.
