College seemed like the biggest hurdle in Brooklyn's life-but when her body exhibits signs of supernatural powers, ancient prophecies, fierce battles, and impossible choices become the norm.
First in her family to graduate college, Brooklyn Evans has missed family gatherings, pulled all-nighters, and sacrificed time with loved ones to achieve her goal. Standing on the precipice of graduation day, she can't help but feel... off. For the entire day, happy as it was, Brooklyn couldn't shake this feeling of distance; it was as if she were watching her life pass from behind a window.
At her graduation cookout, it happened-a sharp, unexpected pain shot through her head. She zeroed in on a woman yards away, clutching her chest for air, and then... Brooklyn healed her with a simple touch.
Brooklyn discovers she has been given the power to heal others and control light-a power that also comes with the terrifying responsibility of eluding the ancient darkness targeting her.
Brooklyn's world, already turned on its side, throws another curveball: her boyfriend of over a year, Rodney, is a servant of this darkness hunting her.
Desperate for answers, confused about her new powers, and wholly in over her head, Brooklyn holds fast to the friends by her side and a mysterious guide named Liora, to reveal the full potential of her abilities. If she can't, the impending forces of evil will consume everything in her waking reality.
However, like all hero journeys, embracing her destiny comes with a steep price.
As Brooklyn faces unimaginable dangers and betrayal, she must decide: How far is she willing to go to protect the universe?
Brooklyn Vs. The Universe, Vol. 1: The Heart's Gambit is a rousing YA fantasy focused on personal growth, resilience, and the light that can emerge even in the darkest moments.
