Sandgirl's Dream

17-year-old Kayla lives in a town of cryptic identities, old mythological family backgrounds, and hundreds of secrets. Like most teens in Idyllwild, California, Kayla is Lyzicc – a human-looking child of two mythos beings, and a generation away from the darkness of ancient lore.

Her mother, a former siren who sang men to their death – as well as her father, Der Sandmann of folklore – are inexplicably sucked into a sand sculpture one morning, leaving Kayla worried and confused.

Hale, the boy she's seeing, and his fraternal twin, Collin, invite her to stay with them in their vast underground kingdom during her parents' absence.

Added to this is an estranged best friend; an adopted little sister with a huge hidden secret; a well-known but possibly-insane mythos grandfather; and the fact that her new boyfriend's mother wants to kill Kayla because of an ancient pact. Kayla's junior year in high school will finish with heartache, enchantment, and maybe even love.
