Hollin's Heir

Before the invasion of her world by the pirate Malizore, Kricket wanted nothing more than to be a normal teenage girl, but the gods of a mystical garden had other ideas. Rescued from the outlaw's clutches by the spaceship Nadir, she discovers nothing in her life was what she thought it was. She uncovers secrets about her beloved grandfather and brothers, her mother is kidnapped, and suddenly she's forced to consider a marriage to a stranger in order to stay alive. Before she can even begin to understand what's happening to her, she is thrust front and center as a confused player in a complicated quest for power, with all humanity looking to her to revive her grandfather's legend, and with more than one empire jockeying to control her. Hollin's Heir follows the story of Kricket Holland as she navigates a strange new world where lineage is everything, war is imminent, and she is hunted by forces she doesn't understand. In a span of only a few days, she must not only learn to trust those who would help her avoid the clutches of Malizore and rescue her mother, but have faith in herself as well.
