Synopsis
Sidney Sinclair was living the dream of any eighteen year-old girl... A handsome rock star boyfriend, a closet full of designer clothes, a limousine service at her beck and call, and a mansion in the hills of Los Angeles. Even will all of that glamour and excitement at her fingertips, she still feels as if she's been missing something in her life so she decides to leave.
While trying her best to put her dysfunctional romantic relationship aside and tend to her beloved Granny, Sidney unexpectedly stumbles upon an intriguing emerald pendant boxed away in her grandmother's closet. Soon she learns it once belonged to her long-lost mother who committed suicide when she was just a baby. Suddenly feeling emotionally connected to the woman who had birthed her, Sidney begins to wear the necklace. This sends her on a whirlwind journey that alternates between fantasy and reality...
Almost immediately, she starts having dreams linked to the mysterious pendant. As danger begins to seep into her life, Sidney refuses to remove the necklace and instead documents each dream to help her further understand them. However, she soon begins to wonder if they are dreams meant to bond her to a mother who she never knew? Or a subconscious warning that threatens her very life?

Excerpt
Then I noticed someone approaching my line. As I turned to greet the
new customer my heart stopped as my eyes drank in the sight of pure
perfection. I couldn’t breathe. The instant attraction I had felt for
this stranger was overwhelming.
I just stood there frozen, completely
stupefied and unable to move. Our eyes locked on each other as if we
were setting up for a fatal duel. We were both frozen in time, waiting
on the other to make the first move.
He wasn’t very tall, five feet nine at the most. But his face made up for the height he lacked.
He
had a pale, round face that was shaped like a heart with a high
forehead and dark eyebrows that cast a shadow over his big green eyes.
He had a tiny mouth with perfectly lined white teeth.
His hair was
straight and jet black. It was messy and slightly long, reaching his
neckline, as it defiantly fell in his face. My mind focused on one thing
only.
His eyes. They were the same eyes that had been haunting my dreams for the past six months. The pendant eyes.
