Layla passes her first semester of college—with more than a challenge from the Aquine forces of power—but she’s failed in one major way. She’s revealed that she does indeed possess her family’s neala, something her enemies seem too excited about. Identifying exactly who is after her gemstone is another matter, something Layla asks her up-and-coming hacker best friend for help with. She’s butted heads with Flynn about her recklessness and stubborn independence, but now she’s aware she needs all the help she can get when it’s clear her unidentifiable nemesis is threatening her. Paige scours stolen files, Ivelis reaches out for Olden tools of the trade, and a new trainer pushes her stamina so she can fight back. When it seems her family and friends might be at risk, Layla buckles down to determine why anyone would be so adamant on securing her neala. But what happens when resisting a threat comes with a heavy price? Threatened is the sixth book in the Olde Earth Series, and it continues in Endangered.
