Grounded

2015

Alyssum Bracken sets out in search of Jensen Burkhardt… After a longtime feud over copper between the Gremalian and the Gobel races, she hopes he has inherited his father’s legendary abilities as tensions rise to a breaking point. But when she finds him in faraway New York, Alyssum discovers she didn’t reach the handsome gremlin first. Aric, a rival goblin, is already ensconced in Jensen’s life. However, Aric Bramble isn’t the enemy… Courageously risking exile to save both races from a bloody war, the unlikely trio decide to work together. A forbidden friendship with Aric, a first love with the noble Jensen, while juggling her father, their leader, the prejudice of her people against the Gobel—and Aric’s people trying to kill them all—might be too much for Alyssum to handle. Jensen’s strength is the one thing keeping Alyssum grounded, but will their relationship be threatened by her friendship with Aric? Will any of them even survive the coming conflict? Alyssum isn't sure…but she’s going to try.

Captured by his own people. Sentenced to death. When the goblin Aric Bramble is kidnapped for treason, it's up to Alyssum to rescue him from a dark fate. Yet saving him comes at a cost; their return to New York causes Alyssum's world to shatter. She's discovered things she can't unlearn, information that contradicts everything she believes in and turns her world into a lie. Abandoning what she's been taught, Alyssum seeks peace, and attempts to find a way to bring the Gremalians and the Gobel together... A way to live without war. But ending the war isn't Alyssum's only concern. Earth is now starting to rebel against its magical inhabitants. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters plague the Gremalians and the Gobel as a result of both kinds stealing Earth's copper to enhance their own powers. Will Alyssum bring both sides together? Or is it already too late to stop the coming disaster? A young adult paranormal romance filled with action, adventure, and a bit of romance, United is an urban fantasy novel perfect for fans of author Heather Young-Nichols Grounded series.
