I'm Chris André Bernhard, and I wanted to share my debut novel with this amazing community of reviewers and bloggers.
FAUTUNIA - THE AWAKENING Over 600 pages of YA Fantasy Adventure
The Story: Haylie thought her biggest problem was school stress and teenage drama. Then a fateful accident changes everything. She wakes up in Fautunia – a world where humanoid animals have built a complex society and humans are an oppressed minority.
She finds shelter and a father figure she never had with Dakar, a kind-hearted hamster farmer. For nine months, life is peaceful... until the brutal government discovers her secret: Haylie is the chosen vessel of the Kafra – an ancient being with elemental power.
When that power awakens, everything changes.
