2020 Eric Hoffer Award recipient: Fantasy category honorable mention and short list finalist. Rachel woke up on her 16th birthday dreading the day ahead.

For the past 16 years, none have materialized - until now. To the shock of the Watchers only seven come through. Once there, new names appear on the teens' foreheads, revealing unique abilities.

Rachel becomes Matilda Seer, the only known seer alive. The Watchers leave the Chosen, seeking out answers. But when a vision reveals to Matilda that they’ve been captured, the group leaves the safety of Quarry Cottage to rescue them. The Chosen must quickly learn to master their new powers in order to overcome terrifying creatures, such as the Nightlings. Then there’s the Nameless, and the murderous Lord Rafe....
