Dawn's End Poisoned
Sixteen-year-old Anastacia was told her father died in Africa when she was three. But there are no photographs of him, and she doesn't have a birth certificate. When Anastacia travels to Lucerne, Switzerland to attend a wedding and stumbles upon a different reality--in fact, a whole new world--what she learns tears apart her ideas of family and self. Why did her mother, Nicole, tell her a history of lies? A new evil is spoiling Dawn's End, Anastacia's idyllic birthplace. Who can she trust? How much can be forgiven? Should she follow in her parents' footsteps knowing the personal risks? Her secret legacy may offer the only chance to set things right, deal with her anger, and discover who she really is.
