Fields of Elysium by A.B. Whelan
How can love mend a heart full of
hate?
Small town girl, Molly Bennett, moves
to Los Angeles where she becomes an outsider while attending Beverly
Hills High School. It seems life cannot be any more dreadful. Then
one day after school, something magical happens. On a secluded hike
in the Hollywood Hills, Molly chases her disobedient mutt and only
friend into a hidden cavern. She stumbles upon a strange glimmering
gateway that transports her to Arkana, a planet that is the cradle of
an advanced human race. There, teenagers navigate amazing flying
vehicles, compete in perilous games for glory, and possess
supernatural powers. While Molly tries to wrap her mind around this
unbelievable discovery, she meets the alluring and mysterious Victor
Sorren. He is a Sentinel Apprentice, whose hatred toward people from
Earth is beyond understanding. Yet every time Victor unpredictably
saves Molly's life, his heart draws closer to hers, no matter how
much he tries to fight against it. It further complicates things that
their growing friendship is strictly forbidden. Earth people are
prohibited in Arkana, yet Molly continues to cross through the portal
to Arkana to see Victor. Torn between their double lives, they go
down a dangerous path, from where there is no return and multiple
endings.
Fields of Elysium is a suspenseful,
romantic tale full of forbidden secrets, unimaginable danger,
deception, and the never-ending fight for true love.

"I escaped into this fantasy
world, author, A.B.Whelan, created and I didn’t want Molly to go.
From detailed descriptions, to sweet romance, and to all the twist
and turns in the story, it had me captivated from page one." -
Mary Ting, author of the Crossroads Saga
"Whelan's writing is very vivid
and descriptive. It's more formal than the average YA novel, but I
enjoyed the lyrical and mesmerizing quality to it. I thought the
overall story read like a fairy tale--very sweet." - Megan
