I need answers only my father can provide. Separated from birth, we’ve only recently connected. Still, I have no one else to turn to. The Deltites are hunting me and they’re close now. We’ll fight our final battle soon. Needing more information, I force him to tell me a story about the beginning, my beginning.
He sheds new light on my mom, on my grandfather Sicheii, and on how I started down this path. He spins a tale about love, a recent murder, and mysterious strangers who come to town looking for a medicine man, my grandfather.
My father reveals his own shadowy past in the story, too, but I’m not worried about who he used to be. I care only about who he is now, and who I am, and the foe I face.
He made a choice back then, and it led to all of this.
Now I give him a second chance—an opportunity to make things right.
EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a short stand-alone story featuring two beloved characters from the multiple award-winning “Chosen” series of young adult fantasies featuring American Indian supernatural themes. This story fits neatly between Books 2 and 3 of the series. INCLUDED: Special Sneak Preview of Wind Catcher.
Be sure to listen to the full “Chosen” series:
- Book 1: Wind Catcher
- Book 2: Brink of Dawn
- Book 3: Scorched Souls
They walk among us as if they're gods, and only we know what they are. Only we know to fear them, and only we can defeat them.
My name is Juliet Wildfire Stone, and I barely escaped my sleepy Arizona town alive after a Seeker tried to murder me. There are three others like me—Chosen hybrids—each with different abilities. I must find them, because an alien race is plotting to enslave the world, and only the Chosen can stop them. We must fulfill our destiny... or run.
As the Alpha, only I can lead the others, but how can I trust these people I've never met? No matter, because I'll do anything to stop the enemy... even if it kills me.
Midwest Book Review says of this follow-up to the multiple award-winning Wind Catcher:
'As in Wind Catcher, betrayal, faith, and love are themes woven into the thriller format... All is not black and white, and readers move deftly through a gray world of possibilities in a satisfying thriller saga which holds wonderfully unpredictable twists and many thought-provoking moments. Highly recommended for young adult (and many an adult) thriller/fantasy readers who look for solid action, powerful characters, and an approach that breaks the usual genre boundaries to offer something refreshingly different.'
EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the second thrilling book in the multiple award-winning 'Chosen' series of young adult fantasy thriller adventures.
My name is Juliet Wildfire Stone, and I'm in big, life-and-death-sized trouble. It turns out there's a big difference between being mostly human and being entirely human.

I've started seeing visions and hearing voices, and have no idea what they mean. It seems I'm a Chosen, but the abilities I've started to develop might not be enough to save me. A powerful entity called a Seeker is hunting me, and he's close—really close.
I uncover an ancient secret society formed over two hundred years ago to keep me safe—me! I never asked these people to die for me, and I don't want it. I must win this fight on my own. Prepared or not, I'll face my fate and become the Chosen I've been destined to be all along.
