Quantum Spirit - Apocalypse
“‘She’s gone!’ Katrina’s eyes were big as saucers. I guess she didn’t really believe that I would disappear because the color had drained from her face as she stared wide-eyed and slack jawed at the center of the circle. The others opened their eyes in awe. I felt the strength of the circle fluctuate with the drop in energy, and the vibrancy of the colors dimmed as the group’s anxiety increased causing the contraction of their auras.Then I noticed the woman . . . ‘Hello, Salena,’ she greeted me with a smile.‘My name is Amalya Gaian. Welcome to the Fifth Dimension.’”Salena Hawthorne is coming of age in more ways than one. And, the changes she is experiencing go way beyond simple hormonal overload. When her “family gift” comes on with a vengeance, Salena has to learn how to channel her developing psychic abilities to stop a pandemic from wiping out millions of lives.Her new-found gifts of reading auras and inter-dimensional travel give Salena more trouble than she is ready to handle.
