Description

"In a world where those around me have always recoiled from my touch, I am an outcast. In a world where I am one of the two most powerful immortals ever born, I am both revered and feared. Caught in the middle of two worlds, my only ally is my equal." Allie Carmichael

She’s an orphan, an outcast, and... Immortal.

Allie Carmichael has never known true friendship. Even those closest to her can't stand to be near her. When she learns her family will be moving from Australia to the United States, Allie prepares for life as a loner on the other side of the world…

Except the warm welcome from a new group of friends changes everything. Especially the dark and mysterious Aidan McBrien, the only guy who’s ever dared to get to know her. But her new life shatters when a painful transformation awakens the power within her and Allie discovers what it means to be Immortal.

Her power marks her as Aidan's equal and together their friendship could mend the hurt of their lonely pasts … or it could tear them apart.

Allie must deal with the loss of her normal life amidst brutal training, her feelings for Aidan, and an ominous prophecy that threatens his future.

The Mortal Instruments meets Red Queen in Emerge: The Awakening, the first book in a series of dark, paranormal fantasy tales. If you like high-stakes action, strong female leads, and supernatural coming-of-age stories, then you’ll love Melissa A. Craven’s imaginative new series.

"An engrossing start for a potentially riveting paranormal series."
-Kirkus Reviews

"This series is one to watch! Emerge is an intriguing story You Just Can't Put Down. Melissa A. Craven is fantastic at world building and creating strong origin stories for her characters. This is one Indie book that should be on every YA shelf."
-YA Books Central

"Young Adult Fantasy today is being pumped out like never before. In her debut novel, Emerge: The Awakening, Melissa A. Craven has skillfully developed a believable plot that begins by blending friendship, romance, adventure and mystery but then builds on that by throwing in a race of immortal beings, martial arts, battle against ancient enemies and the anticipation of the fulfillment of a very old prophecy."
