    About this ebook

    Astrea would do just about anything to feel like she belongs--even hunt a unicorn to feed her starving tribe.

    But when her guilt and the promise of a curse gets the better of her, she'll do everything in her power to free the unicorn. Even if it means taking away the last hope of meat in the midst of a famine and leaving behind her foggy homeland to return the unicorn to the safety of Illumia. And Illumia is nowhere she wants to go, being the land her parents were banned from.

    The problem is, she can hear the unicorn talking, though no one else can, a handsome and mysterious elf joins her and the snarky unicorn, sending her emotions careening, and someone is following them.

    Just when she thinks things can't get any worse, she finds out that her parents have been keeping a secret from her, and the revelation ruins every hope of fitting in. Her homeland is now inhospitable in every possible way, and the once comforting fog becomes a smothering blanket that promises death.

    It's a race to escape and a struggle to put everything right.

    And Astrea is running out of time.

    Running Toward Illumia contains all 4 previously published parts - Banned, Lost, Drenched, and Marked - and is the first book in the Illumia series.

    Angel Leya

    Angel Leya began writing as a child, but only within the past decade has become serious, about trying to perfect and share her craft. She enjoys discovering new ways to entertain and delight, and takes pride in creating stories that she considers “clean”. Currently, her published books include Poetry in Composition: A Coffee Table Book of Poetry and Photos. This compilation of poetry, written mainly through the angst of her teen years along with some more recent pieces, is meant to bring comfort, understanding and inspiration. She’s also published a memoir about her pregnancy and what she learned in My Natural Birth Story: The Birthing Book I Wish I’d Read. Upcoming works include Running Toward Illumia, a story about one girl’s exile from her tribe of redheads and her race to leave the land of Mist before it kills her. She hopes to have it published later this year. Also in the works is Antarctic Discovery, a tale about the archeological discovery of the Tower of Babel, and the relationships formed by two historical linguists assigned to the project and the man recovered from the tower. Her original publication, Call Her Forth, is being rewritten and she hopes to release the new edition in the summer of 2017. Angel Leya loves mermaids, and was inspired to write Skye’s Lure, a contemporary fantasy romance ebook, after watching the Discovery Channel’s Mermaid: The Body Found. She spends her days trying to sing like Ariel when she’s not writing or taking care of her husband and children. In her spare time, Leya enjoys doing all things book, particularly creating book covers for print and ebooks. You can find out more at: www.AngeLeya.com
