Chosen (book 1 of the White Stone trilogy)

When Ethel hears rumors about an uprising across the lake, it seems like a distant matter for the adults to debate. Ethel has her own problems to worry about, anyway. But when the violence marches into her hometown, it is much worse than the rumors suggested. Ethel finds herself pulled into an ancient fight for humanity against an evil so dark and powerful it plans to destroy them all...Unless Ethel can put aside her fears and trust in a God she barely knows.

Ethel has no idea, but she is chosen. Will she find the courage she needs to be the hero the world is desperate for or will she and everything she knows and loves be destroyed?
