Flicker of a Candle

In Flicker of a Candle, Leah and Callie are ordinary kids at heart, but deep within they’re hiding a power unlike any other, realizing this when they’re only ten years old. The story is based on Leah’s perspective. Three men break into her house while she's home alone and try to steal her necklace-the Imperadita, a jewel wanted by many Supernaturals. It has been lost for years, and when they find out Leah has it, she realizes it contains a power that could change the world. In an attempt to save his family, Leah’s father gets murdered, leaving Leah in a state of grief and Leah’s mother without her memory. The story switches from Leah's perspective as a ten-year-old to her perspective as a fifteen-year-old, where both times are dangerous and life-threatening. The more she knows after she returns to her memories, the more she discovers whom her ancestors are, secrets and lies, and her identity. She sets off on a dangerous quest to find Callie and faces the many unknown obstacles awaiting her.
