In the first book of the Kindling series, Karinna Ambers knows she is far from ordinary. Living from foster home to foster home since she was a child, her whole life has been one big rollercoaster ride. Her foster mother hates her, her social worker thinks she’s a pathological liar, and she’s on the brink of being held back her senior year of high school.

Karinna is grateful to find solitude in her only best friend, Isaac. But Karinna’s life suddenly turns upside down when a boy with perplexing golden eyes begins shadowing her. After an incident that puts Karinna on the opposite side of the law, she must find a way to regain control of her so-called life and discovers that her existence is not what it seems.

Karinna is invited to a place literally out of this world and soon learns of her true identity as she discovers a dark force that threatens to destroy her and her entire world. With the help of her allies, Karinna must learn to wield new-found powers and find a way to save the only person she cares for. But can she fight against the forces within her that are quickly taking control?
