Her hidden, magical gift may have just killed her boyfriend. The innocence of Ana's youth is shattered when her boyfriend is killed in a car accident—one she is certain she somehow caused. Tormented by grief and guilt, Ana seeks refuge in the dream world of Hiddenkel, where she finds a fierce sister, a mysterious green-eyed boy, and a darkly seductive presence drawn by her blood. It all seems like a trauma-induced escape from reality...until she spots the green-eyed boy in person at the local Farmer's Market. The line between her dream world and waking life have blurred, and if she doesn't get her strange, dangerous powers under control, more people could die. As darkness seeks her, bent on her destruction, Ana discovers the dream world of Hiddenkel is real...and in grave danger. But if she doesn't get her powers under control, her efforts to save their universe will destroy their world instead.

Before there was Ana and Jaden, there was Deona and Jove...the first incarnation of the Balance Bringer and her Tracer. In a time of great imbalance, when the elven tribes are retreating to their homeland, abandoning the world of Hiddenkel, three elves come together in a ceremonial request for a bringer of balance. Their wish is granted, but with an unintended consequence…an early birth sends the ceremonial outcome astray. The gift of a balance bringer is inadvertently bestowed upon a newborn baby girl – a half elf, half immortal warrior. In order to keep the child’s power in check, her soul is divided into three parts, creating three sisters, each taking on the gift of one element - earth, wind, and water. When the girls come of age in their seventeenth year, awaking the fourth element and drawing the darkness, the time arrives for them to fulfill their destiny. Balance the elements and set the world right once more. A challenging task for three girls that have never left their homestead circle. And although they have expert control over their elements, they haven’t a clue how to implement their gifts in order to achieve the desired goal. Nevertheless, they will set out to fulfill their destiny, accompanied by their magical elven aunts, two Fae boys, and a friendly satyr. Only, the darkness is persistent, adaptable, and possibly something other than what they are expecting. Can the sisters keep themselves and everyone they care about safe, AND achieve the desired balance? This fast-paced, action-packed, magical, coming-of-age adventure, with a touch of romance, and a plethora of family entanglements, is ideal for fans of The Mortal Instruments and The Cruel Prince. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_ The First Balance Bringer is a STANDALONE origin story within the magical world of Balance Bringer.
