Transcendence

When a visit to the Tower of London triggers an overwhelmingly real vision of a beheading that occurred centuries before, Cole Ryan fears she is losing her mind. A mysterious boy, Griffon Hall, comes to her aid, but the intensity of their immediate connection seems to open the floodgate of memories even wider. As their feelings grow, Griffon reveals their common bond as members of the Akhetan elite group of people who can remember past lives and use their collected wisdom for the good of the world. But not all Akhet are altruistic, and a rogue is after Cole to avenge their shared past. Now in extreme danger, Cole must piece together clues from many lifetimes. What she finds could ruin her chance at a future with Griffon, but risking his love may be the only way to save them both. Full of danger, romance, and intrigue, Transcendence breathes new life into a perpetually fascinating question: What would you do with another life to live? Review I raced through this suspenseful story, loving the mystery, romance, and past lives that make it come alive Cate Tiernan, author of the 'Sweep' and 'Immortal Beloved' series With a fascinating premise, a spunky heroine, and a sweet romance, Transcendence was a page-turner from beginning to end Malinda Lo, author of 'Ash' and 'Huntress' About the Author C.J. OMOLOLU majored in English at U.C. Santa Barbara because she liked to read, not because she liked to write. She later discovered that the voices in her head often have interesting things to say.

When she meets Griffon Hall, he explains that her visions are actually flashbacks to previous lives and that she is one of the few people who are able to remember past lives when they are reincarnated. This group-the Akhet- must use what they've learned in the past to live this life and Cole now shares the responsibility to make the most of this special gift, just as Griffon has been doing for centuries. Griffon's extensive life experiences give him special abilities to solve the problems facing the world today, and Cole is developing some gifts of her own. Gifts she will need as her nemesis from a past life seeks Cole out to exact revenge. As this connection brings Cole and Griffon closer together, she falls hard for him. With so much to learn of the past, is this life the one they are meant to be together in? When Griffon reveals a shocking secret from a shared life, Cole isn't sure who she can trust. With danger coming from all sides, Cole must look within herself and to find her own truth. After handsome Griffon Hall tells sixteen-year-old Cole Ryan that her strange visions are of past lives, he introduces her to the Akhet, a group of people with the same ability, one of whom seeks to love and protect her and another, vengeance
