The Odysseys of Alaythia
What Shines with the Dawn is the first book of The Odysseys of Alaythia series. Book One follows the epic adventure of Virginia Singerman.
After the murder of her parents, Virginia moves to East Tennessee to live under the custody of her distant uncle in his palatial estate.
One day, while exploring her new quarters, she finds a diary in an old room that had been locked off for over 100 years.
Ignoring the warning that came with the book, she flips through its pages, reading about a teenage girl from the 1800’s named Rose Cohen, who lived in the same mansion before her.
Virginia’s attention is gripped as Rose describes of a place nearby called Alaythia, where men can turn into beasts, warriors can sprout wings from their backs and channel fire through their very being, and her story of how she was kidnaped and rescued by these same individuals.
It is not long after that the very things Virginia read about begin to manifest and hunt her down.
Through the brave skills and crafts of Charles, her high school crush and one who knows more about what’s happening than he originally led her to believe, Virginia is protected and taken into another world: a world waiting for her, a world where she learns the truth about herself, a world that tells prophesies of her unlocking an ancient weapon that the dark ones fear, that is, if she she can be safeguarded long enough for it to come to pass.

Early AccessVirginia wakes up and is greeted by her uncle providing her breakfast. With Andrew taking a seat by her bed, Virginia asks him some of her long-held questions—why her parents were killed; who were their murderers—and shares with him all that has taken place from the time they entered Alaythia.
Later, Virginia continues her studies with Daniel, focusing on a question she’s had for a long time: who is Soaring Eagle?
Though her new surroundings appear to provide an impenetrable wall of security, the city is soon approached by a former darkness that they thought to have escaped.
