The first book in the bestselling Telesa series by Lani Wendt Young - a new 2018 edition produced in NZ.

Description

Embraced by a Covenant Sisterhood of Earth's elemental guardians - what will Leila choose? Her fiery birthright as a telesa? Or will she choose the boy who offers her his heart? Daniel - stamped with the distinctive tattoo markings of a noble Pacific warrior and willing to risk everything for the chance to be with her.

Can their love stand against the Covenant Keeper? A thriller-romance with a difference.

If you enjoyed Twilight, then you will be enthralled by Telesa as it blends the richness of Pacific mythology into a contemporary young adult love story that will stay with you long after you have turned the final page.
