Tap … tap … tap … “I want to go! I must try! It is my birth right and my destiny!” She cried as tears of frustration rimmed her large emerald-green eyes, and splashed down her smooth pale cheeks. She continued with her plea. “Too much time has passed, father. For as long as I can remember I have heard the story … the story you have told me! The ancient tomes that fill our library, musty-scented from the cracked leather covers with gilt-edged pages, teased and enticed us. I still dream about those times of old, and the lost civilization, and our ancestors, father – the stories were a precious and magical gift to our family. It is my turn to try to find the lost ones. It is my responsibility now.” Her passion fuelled her boldness and courage, and so she took a deep breath and then continued. “They have a right to be free. Surely you can understand … and the visions … I know you have seen them too. It is time!” She looked at him through beseeching eyes, searching his face for understanding and compassion. Her hair was the colour of onyx, glossy and black, and it framed her small and delicate featured face; soft strands caressed her forehead and neck, lovingly cascading down her shoulders, hugging her lower back as if to keep her safe in a warm embrace. Her face glowed parchment like the moon. The child was angelic, an innocent filled with hope and curiosity. But she was a child no longer. Her father, now elderly with snowy-white hair and bushy-white eyebrows, tapped his foot impatiently. He tried to diffuse the situation, to talk about something else, and yet somehow he knew that he was too late. It was true, he had seen the visions but he saw much more, and so he had kept those visions to himself. He knew what was lurking out there in the darkness, the perils and heartache ahead of her… and he knew that she was determined to venture away from the light and into the shadows of the unknown. There was nothing he could do to stop her. The cause had gripped her heart and infected her mind. He knew it only too well; yet his biggest fear was not just for her safety but also for the safety of all the others who will be needed to help her once her memory was lost.

About the Book
T o save the lost civilization of Atlantis and her family, she must sacrifice her wings, her power, and her identity, and pass through eight levels of consciousness to complete a total transformation. With only her powerful crystal heart pendant to protect her, she embarks on the terrible but crucial quest. Powerful enemies—menacing beasts with yellow tusks, red eyes, and powerful paws—seek to claim her pendant as their own at any cost. Through life-threatening circumstances, Selene must remember her mission before the lost ones perish in the sands.
During a dream, Miss Jay learns of Selene’s imprisonment by the red-eyed creatures. Miss Jay gathers the birds and Vargo the dragon for a daring rescue mission. Before they can hope to save the goddess, Miss Jay must travel to Shamballa to meet with Sanat Kumara and other ascended masters and then undergo her own transformation.
What she learns at the temple of Selene’s parents changes everything: many other goddesses—including Selene’s mother, Vesta—are also missing. Equally troubling, she discovers that the sacred Rainbow Crystal Egg needed to help the Earth enter its next phase has been stolen.
In the shadows, another force awakens. As soon as Selene placed the crystal heart around her neck, a signal was sent out across the cosmos. In response, the enigmatic Caretaker emerges from a long slumber.
Who is this being?
Can the heroes trust the Caretaker?
Who will reach Selene first?
