Rebirth: A YA Dark Urban Fantasy

By Valerie Willis

An immortal who can't remember his past has everything to fear.

Hotan Samuels is only trying to survive senior year.

Between school, work, his cover band, and the old broken-down church where he goes to think, Hotan has enough chaos in his life. He wants to graduate, keep his promise to his late mother, and figure out why his world feels so gray-except for the rare flashes of color that should not exist.

Then the nightmares start feeling too real.

A shadowed figure has killed Hotan again and again in his dreams. When an immortal named Geliah attacks him under the moonlight, Hotan learns the truth: he is not fully human, and the power waking inside him belongs to something ancient.

Rebirth.

Normally, when an immortal is pulled from reincarnation, they remember who they are. Hotan remembers nothing. His powers are awakening, but the original being tied to them may be gone forever-and the enemies hunting him do not care that this Hotan is different.

To survive, Hotan must uncover the secrets of his element, protect the chaotic life he has left, and decide whether he is a failed reincarnation... or something new.

Rebirth is a young adult dark urban fantasy about immortals, elemental powers, trauma, identity, and discovering who you are when the past refuses to stay buried.

Content note: contains dark themes including violence, bullying, abuse, suicide, murder, and genocide.
