Rynlee's Song (Daughter of Time, #1)
Release Date: 02/2015
Summary from Goodreads:
Rynlee Nalis is a demon hunter. She is a Purator, belonging to an organization who slay demons to serve their King. Even though she’s a candidate to succeed the High Purator, eighteen-year-old Rynlee doesn’t want the responsibility.
Her entire world is turned upside down when Jeynen shows up at the temple that is her school and home. She thought he died five years ago.
And he has no idea who she is.
When an assassin comes for Jeynen and he manages to flee for his life, Rynlee rushes after him. As she tries to discover the truth about him, she stumbles onto an ancient prophecy and challenges those who want to destroy the balance of magic.

Excerpt
One of the men across the room banged his recently emptied tankard on the table and yelled, “Another!” nearly startling Rynlee out of her seat. Another man laughed, noticing her jump.
Everyone here was likely living a life without magic, she realized. What would it be like, to not fight for a living, or to never experience the power within oneself? Rynlee knew most humans weren’t born with magic, but then, she hadn’t developed her own until her teens.
She blew on her hot soup when it came, and took a big bite of a chewy bun filled with nuts and dates, a favorite of hers.
After eating, it was a short walk over to the house Draeger shared with his sister. Rynlee stopped by the garden in the front – now filled with sun-scorched remnants of plants already harvested – and took a deep breath. The smell of wood and salt-dried meat was just as she remembered. As she walked up to the front door to knock, it felt like she was returning home.
A boy answered the door and looked at her for a moment, until he recognized her. “Rynlee!”
“Hi, Kallan. You’ve gotten so tall since I left!” Rynlee ruffled his hair. “Is your uncle home?”
“Yeah,” Kallan opened the door wider and moved to let her in. Draeger was standing with his back to her, talking to his sister Avael about something in a hushed voice.
