Awen Rising by O Barr

Awen Rising by O Barr

A secret society of Druids.

An ancient Reptilian foe.

Earth teeters in the balance.

Emily Hester would give anything for a safe place to hide from the witch Shalane. But when her long-lost Druid family tracks Emily down and offers her haven, she balks at the Must Save Earth clause. Then crappy luck reveals her whereabouts to her witchy stalker, forcing Emily to accept the Druids' proposition despite its blatantly outrageous terms.

At their headquarters in Atlanta, Emily learns several shocking secrets. She was kidnapped by the mother who raised her on the run. Her real father and his Druid followers believe Emily is Earth's only hope. And a dark, forgotten foe lurks beneath Humanity's feet.

As these evil Reptilians hatch a plan to escape UnderEarth and kill all humans, Emily desperately seeks to unleash the powers the Druids swear she possesses. Can a sexy druid priest, his teenage nephew, and their animal Elders tilt the odds in Emily's favor?

A well written and engaging near-future urban fantasy written in parallel timelines and third person POV. AnnieB, NetGalley Reviewer

Game of Thrones taught us the pleasure of immersing ourselves in a complex, magical world of conflict, ambition, and dueling strong-willed characters. Want dragons? Awen Rising has them... and reptilian adversaries on par with the danger of the White Walkers... a world bruised by natural disasters and supernatural attacks. Roland Y., Author/Reviewer

Urban Fantasy, near future SciFi, and an Alien Invasion... imaginative mythos... great plot, explosive action, and moments of tenderness. Cinematic in scope... a fully realized, dynamic world just begging for spin-off stories. William Willey, Ingram Library, University of West Georgia
