On her eighteenth birthday, Gaiah's life fractures-literally.
She has always known she was different. A whispered thought can sway minds. But when she wakes to find her hair grown to her waist overnight, something ancient and dangerous has awakened inside her. When years of fear and frustration erupt in a single, violent moment at school, Gaiah attracts attention she was never meant to draw.
Attention from beyond Earth.
Forced to confront the truth, Gaiah discovers a trinity of parallel worlds-An unknowing Earth just one fragile piece of a far greater design. One world is dying, poisoned by greed and hunger for domination. Another is watching helplessly.
With her father obliviously living in one world, and her grandparents existing just a shimmer away in another, Gaiah is pulled into a war she doesn't understand and a destiny she never wanted. The worlds believe she can save them.
But Gaiah can barely control her own thoughts.
As the boundaries between worlds weaken and annihilation looms, Gaiah must decide whether to embrace the power growing inside her-or risk the destruction of an unsuspecting Earth.
Shared Skies is a dark, high-stakes dystopian fantasy of parallel worlds, identity, and the terrifying cost of becoming who you were born to be.
Unless you're one of those people who prefer your food a little bit on the charred side, don't sit down to read this book and try to cook at the same time. Shared Skies hooks you in and holds your attention from page one. The author creates a believable conjunction of our world with others both beautiful and threatening.
Basically, reading this book is a lot like watching a really awesome, on-the-edge-of-your-seat movie, with a little romance thrown in, a lot of warmth and humour, and people who are easy to relate to
Be prepared to lose sleep to finish this book.
Hooks the reader right from the start.
