Girl, the Pendant & the Portal En: The Awakening of Faith McDaniels, Book 1, (Hardcover)

BEING A TEEN IS COMPLICATED; NOW TRY SAVING THE WORLD AT THE SAME TIME.

Faith McDaniels is no stranger to bad nights-but the nightmares hitting her now feel different. Sharper. Closer. Stranger. And when her late mother's necklace suddenly surges to life, Faith discovers it isn't just a keepsake... it's a key. A portal-key linked to a power waking inside her-and to something hunting her from the dark.

A dying world is calling for its defender. And the killer leading its annihilation has just found his target.

As Faith's power intensifies, reality twists. Energy bends at her fingertips. And the people closest to her-her loyal friends Kiara and Michael; Tomas, the infuriating almost-friend she can't quite trust; and Paul, the quiet steady presence she's not ready to admit she cares about-are pulled into the crossfire of a war none of them knew existed.

With danger closing in from both worlds, Faith must decode the legacy her mother hid, master a power she barely understands, and outrun the entity determined to claim her. Because if she loses control, the energy inside her won't just destroy everything she loves-it will turn her into the weapon he's been waiting for.

Can Faith protect her friends, save a world on the brink, and survive the darkness stalking her? Or will she become the very monster she fears?
