When the fear is greatest, when the dark is deepest, only friendship can bring courage to light.
Zoe Nauman
is a journalist, copywriter, editor, and speaker, who has worked with some of the world’s most well-known brands and publications for over twenty years.
She’s an expert storyteller with a penchant for helping brands find their unique voice. And as a journalist, she’s interviewed some of the world’s biggest celebrities, including Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, and Lionel Richie.
A globetrotter by heart, Zoe moved from the UK to Sydney, Australia, in 2008, living there for seven years while traveling to some of the most beautiful parts of Asia — including her beloved Bali. She’s now in westside LA and spends her days writing, corralling her three chihuahuas (Poco, Chika, and Enzo), eating blue cheese stuffed olives, and running on the beach.

Four teens are about to discover a universe larger than anything they ever dreamed…and danger greater than anything they ever feared.
“Nadia felt a huge force beneath her feet. She was shooting up and up. Her arms were pinned to her sides with G-force and her lungs felt as if they were in a vice. Before her, its wings beating in slow motion was the hummingbird, regarding her. As Nadia gave a silent scream, she could have sworn she heard the bird say, ‘Hold on tight.’”
Teens Nadia, Afsana, Yibinathi, and Min-Ji are strangers. They live in different countries, their own demons to conquer, their own dangers to face. But when they are pulled into a Thura Gate—a bridge between our world and the magical realm of Amaris—they come together to discover a universe larger than anything they ever dreamed…and peril greater than anything they ever feared.
Amaris hovers on the brink of destruction: the evil Queen Sathariel has risen, and her Dark Forces are on the rise. And Amaris’ protector, The Chosen—a teenage boy prophesied to destroy Sathariel and save the world—has been captured and imprisoned by the evil queen.
The only way to save him, and break Sathariel’s hold on Amaris, is to find a trio of magical weapons that just might be enough to free The Chosen and destroy the evil queen.
No one who’s tried to find the weapons has ever survived, so it’s up to four strangers from Earth. They will have to put aside their personal and cultural differences, conquer their fears, and risk everything to save The Chosen.
But they’ll have to move fast. For Sathariel’s power has grown: she has broken the bonds of death to create an army of immortal soldiers that will help her complete her conquest of Amaris…and destroy any who stand in her way.
