"She's back with a vengence!!"

I have missed Catherine Spangler's books and am thrilled to discover that she is starting a new series that looks as fascinating as her SHIELDER series.

This book focuses on a race of people who descending from the original Atlantians of legend. They are called the Sentinels and they reincarnate into the body of a human in order to track down and destroy the followers of Belian, an evil being who followed the dark arts. They also need a conductor to focus their power who is generally a human with heightened psychic powers.

With that being said, this book tells us the story of Kara Cantrell, her son Alex and Damien Morgan. Kara is a doctor who moved to the little town of Zorro in order to run away from the memory of her husband's murder and her son's latent powers that are starting to show themselves. She feels that if she can just ignore them, they will go away. What she doesn't know is that a Belian is in town and can sniff out any form of power that Alex may inadvertently project.

Now Damien has come to Zorro to track down said Belian and destroy it before it further causes havoc. He also can't believe that he discovers a Sentinel albeit young in this small town. He either needs to try to train Alex or find someone who will but he has to convince his mother, Kara first and she is extremely resistant.

Oh my goodness, what a book. I have missed the awesome Catherine Spangler's books and am so glad that she's come back into the writing world with a vengeance. I cannot wait for the next Atlantian book!!
