Seven-year-old Elara has always known she was different. The pendant she wears-cracked crystal, pulsing with quiet light-beats in rhythm with something older than the world itself. When it begins to glow, it draws the attention of a secret agency determined to claim her... and of the ethereal beings that once cast her kind across the stars.Trapped in a rusting watchtower as the storm tears open the sky, Mara will do anything to protect her daughter. Around them gather soldiers, machines, and forces no human language can contain. Between lightning and silence, Elara stands as the hinge between two realities-one breaking apart, the other clawing to be reborn.To save both worlds, she must choose which part of herself to surrender... and which to set free.The Crystal Child is a haunting, emotional journey through faith, fear, and the thin, bright line between heaven and earth-a story of family, sacrifice, and the light that refuses to die.
