Skye Taylor has always been able to see beyond the physical in people -- their auras and the energy that surrounds them and tells their stories and reveals their emotions and truths. But she is not convinced that the gift she has developed is special in any way…until she discovers she has the power to heal.

After losing everything she has ever cared about, Skye moves to Washington in hopes of starting over. But a sequence of events brings her face to face with Khalen Dunning -- an extraordinary man with a very dark past.

Khalen knows that Skye is special. Getting involved with her, though, draws him to the edge of his darkest memories, a place to which he has vowed never to return. In Khalen’s world, the line that divides illusion and reality is blurred, and the human spirit is stronger than physical bounds. In Khalen’s world, anything is possible.

Unfortunately, the empowered are not spared the law of duality, and power can be used to serve both good and evil. Skye and Khalen discover that when people start to question reality, they develop the ability to pierce the barrier of illusion and create either wondrous things -- or horrible nightmares.

Deftly constructed at 313 pages, The Protected: Book I of the Spirian Series is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the fiction, romance and paranormal category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, The Protected meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $14.95.
