What if the one person who is supposed to love you unconditionally, wants to kill you instead?Before you go looking for answers, make sure you can handle the truth.
Jordan is a step closer to uncovering the mystery of her mother’s disappearance. Sol can finally make his urgent delivery and Allan has received Jordan’s message, but instead of giving him comfort it has only made him desperate. And what is with these strange glass bugs, anyway? Could they be the secret to finding his missing daughter? Fiddling with Elven magic could become the biggest regret of Allan’s life.
Meanwhile, a young dragon has imprinted on Jordan, her companion for life whether she likes it or not. That’s alright, he’s just a little guy…pretty harmless...
When the locket with her mother’s portrait inside begins to behave strangely she learns that what seems a simple family heirloom is actually a magic compass…
Following the locket means there is no turning back.
Jordan finds herself running for her life from someone she expected would welcome her with open arms. When two friends show up with a terrifying report of Allan’s whereabouts, can Jordan survive long enough to rescue her father?
Welcome to The Revelations of Oriceran.
The veils between worlds are thin. Come see what’s on the other side.

What if finding the truth means you're not who - or what - you think you are?Born to a wealthy Virginian family, privileged Jordan's got her life all planned out. Get her PhD in forensic linguistics, make her State Senator father proud. Find the perfect Virginia man to marry and pop out a few more Kacy's.
If only Jordan could let the past rest.
When your mother disappears without a trace it carves a gash that bleeds a long time. Jordan has never given up hope that her mother is alive. So when Jordan's old nanny shows up with a mysterious locket containing a portrait of Jordan's mother, Jordan believes her hope was not in vain.
When the locket opens a portal to an alternate universe and a stranger hurtles through to earth, it's not her first clue that something very strange is at play. Teaming up with Sol, a disgruntled courier who's lost his wings, Jordan embarks on a haphazard quest. Facing off with interfering barmaids, terrifying harpies, and disorganized elves with a penchant for inventing magic they can't reverse is only the beginning.
Can Jordan find her mother and learn the truth about her disappearance? And what happens if the truth is far from what she expected?

Descendant: The Revelations of Oriceran (The Kacy Chronicles)

Rodania's protective magic is broken. There is no military. Who's going to step up?Jordan’s father is in deep trouble. He's trapped in the tombs of Trevilsom, and rescuing him is only the first of her challenges. When she, Toth and Eohne find him, Allan is a shadow of his former self and even Eohne isn't sure how to help him.
Meanwhile, on the islands of Rodania, several attacks by harpies suggest sabotage. How else could they be getting through the magical protections? The Rodanian government has been arrogant enough to assume a military wouldn’t be necessary, leaving the nation vulnerable. This costly mistake could well spell catastrophe for Rodania’s citizens, unless action is taken, now. So, why is the King so slow to respond?
When Toth is commissioned to raise a Strix army, Jordan joins to train in weaponry and combat, but she can’t help wishing they all had guns. It would feel damn good to shoot a harpy in the face.
As if the imminent harpy threat wasn’t enough, it’s rapidly becoming evident that Jordan’s dragon, Blue, is not the Predoian Miniature they thought he was. How long before the dragon is banished from the Kingdom of Rodania for good?
When Jordan and Sol take on a dangerous assignment to return to Virginia and bring back something that may help revive Allan, she returns to the Elf Princes, Sohne–who is expecting her. Too late, Jordan learns that to succeed in helping her father, she’ll have to leave Blue behind and give up her wings.
Can Jordan revive her father and live through the harpy onslaught for long enough to fix her broken family?

A heartbroken woman who disappeared without a trace. 
A desiccated body.
Strange cocoons hanging in the greenhouse.
She soon finds herself embroiled in a disturbing mystery that involves the very power of nature itself and Georjie learns that the earth never forgets.

Read a snippet:
Thousands of tiny sparkling fae began to land on me. A warm rush went through me and my heart rate doubled. Feather-light touches all over made me gasp. Lights floated in front of my face, landing there too, winking on my cheeks and blurring my vision.
"Jasher," I gasped, and looked for him. I could barely see him. The twinkling lights close to my eyes blurred him out.
"Georjie." Jasher's voice was awestruck.
 I held my hands out in front of me. I looked absolutely coated in miniature Christmas lights. My sensitive scalp, still damp from my shower, detected the tiny whirring fans of their wings as they fluttered against my head. I looked down at my body. Every surface of me was wrapped with fae. I was a human form made of light. I barely dared to breathe. 
"Why?" I exhaled the question lightly.
"Ask them," suggested Jasher. "Rasha told you her name, maybe they'll tell you what they want."
"Can I help you?" 
Tiny bells went off in my head, thousands of them - all whispering the same word. Wise. Wise. Wise. Wise. Wise. Wise. Wise.
"What did they say?" Jasher asked.
I looked up, puzzled. "Nothing that made any sense."
The lights lifted and began to swirl, this time they spiraled up and out of the open dome of the greenhouse to be swallowed by the night. 
The magical moment was over so unexpectedly that it left me feeling bereft and wishing I had paid more attention. 
And isn't that the way the most precious moments of our lives come and go? Over in a moment, leaving us breathless and feeling like yelling, 'Wait, don't go!'
