Cari Schaeffer

The Chosen Cari Schaeffer

Destiny. Is it chosen by you, or for you? At seventeen, Gemma thought she knew the answer. Then life, and destiny, got in the way. Gemma and her friends only want to finish high school and get on with their lives. But these friends share unusual characteristics that nobody else possesses. They dismiss them as quirks of nature until an otherworldly encounter at a local park reveal the four are marked as The Chosen. When the friends realize who and what they are, they must enlighten themselves to the truth of our shared human history. It is not what we've all been taught, or what we believe. European royalty and their relentless quest for the most precious of jewels, World Wars and the re-drawing of maps, nothing is as it has always appeared. The history books have lied. The Chosen must find the precious lost Orbs before time runs out. Their adventure will pit them against powerful forces and dangerous foes to fulfill their destiny and save humanity. Can the future of humanity be trusted to four teenagers, even four extraordinary ones? For fans of the Librarians TV series and Harry Potter's search for the Horcruxes.
