She was pulled from the wreckage of a destroyed Trandorian ship as an infant. No memory of her people. No knowledge of her planet. And no idea that the power inside her is exactly what ancient enemies have been hunting for. Kiara has lived her adult life aboard the cargo ship Acadia - and Earth is the only world she has ever known. Her adoptive Earth father gave her a home, a family, and a name. What he couldn't give her was an explanation for the attacks that have started targeting her specifically, or the abilities that are beginning to surface in response. The power is real. It is growing. And it is drawing attention from forces that have been waiting a very long time for someone like her to emerge. When the Acadia is pulled into battle, Kiara discovers what she is truly capable of. But survival comes at a cost - she is no longer invisible. Corrupt governments and ancient enemies now know she exists. And they are not coming to negotiate.Awakening is Book 1 of the Guardian From Trandor trilogy - a space opera built around a strong female protagonist, found family, alien powers awakening, and an intergalactic conspiracy that runs deeper than anyone aboard the Acadia could have imagined.For readers of space opera series with female leads, psychic powers fiction, and found family science fiction.
