The Path to Dawn (Opal Charm Series #1)

Opal is a young girl living in Dewdrop, a bustling suburb southeast of New York. She struggles with her life at home and doesn't have much of a life at school without any friends-until she befriends the new girl, Hope Adaire. Since meeting her, Opal's life changes for better and for worse; Hope's lies and truths become blurred together as Opal delves deeper into Hope's enigmatic life.

She stumbles across a world separate from Earth, a world that she never would have thought existed. Opal discovers that she has a gift, a certain power that can make her stronger than she ever imagined, and must use it to save this new world, its inhabitants, and her own.

This power is the key to seeking the truth and rejecting the lies. When someone threatens the peace in Dewdrop, this temperamental teen with too much emotional baggage must learn how to control her gift and protect her home.
