Instinct screams you’re
not alone. Fine hairs prickle the back of your neck. Your gaze scans the
surrounding area, but no one is there. It’s that feeling you’re missing
something that’s right before your eyes. For most of us it’s stress, lack of
sleep or maybe just too much caffeine.
For Ella, it’s the fact
she’s half Revenant and half human—and
only Revenants can see Wild Point Island. Banished from her home on the island, she’s spent years struggling with the consequences of her genetics. The
loss of her home and father push her to find a way to change things and make a
difference through science. Her persistence pays off.
When Ella finds the
means to help her family and others beat the condition that binds them to Wild
Point Island, she asks her uncle for help in negotiating with the Council that
controls the island’s population.
Unfortunately, not
everyone sees Ella’s scientific advancement as a positive thing. Change can be
terrifying, and not everyone has the courage to embrace it. Some want to bury Ella
right along with her findings. When a Revenant named Simon steps forward to
protect Ella, she is drawn to him. She has hope for a future with Simon. But
unfolding events cause her to question everything she thought she knew and
everyone she ever trusted.
Ms. Lutter has created a
story that combines science and magic, faith and fact—and each character must deal
with the circumstances these elements create. Whether one denies or embraces
life’s changes, both the characters and readers experience the intrigue, betrayal
and love in Wild Point Island!
