The only child of adoptive parents, Celeste led a somewhat sheltered life until the night her pet iguana started to speak and disclosed a startling revelation:  She’s not just Celeste McAllister of Glendale, California; she’s really Celestial Star Needfyre, the last in an ancient line of witches.  Known as The Guardians, these powerful women stood for thousands of years between our world and environmental havoc – until they suddenly disappeared without a trace.

With the help of an eccentric fortuneteller, a passionate Satyr and the  motley garage band from downstairs, Celeste will journey through strange, elemental worlds to save everything she loves and  free The Guardians from  the dark creature holding them captive.  In a final, magical confrontation with the monster, she must choose between the fate of our planet and the unexpected bond she feels for the demon who, like Celeste, is only searching for love and acceptance.

Mysterious caretakers of magical realms, underworld ferrymen, unrequited love and ample touches of humor embellish this tale of a young woman coming to terms with her unwilling role in a global battle against evil.  Poignant environmental issues faced by our world today make this story as timely as it is entertaining. 

Young adult fiction’s next hot couple is Celeste Needfyre and the young rocker who finds himself enchanted by THE GLENDALE WITCH.
