Excerpt:
The ChosenCHAPTER 1It happened at Rashel’s birthday party, the day she turned five years old.

“Can we go in the tubes?” Rashel asked during her birthday at a carnival, which had a vast climbing structure of tubes and slides. Her mother agreed, reminding her to take care of Timmy, her younger companion. Those were the last words her mother ever spoke to her.

Rashel, with her dark hair and emerald-green eyes, always looked after Timmy, who had silky black hair, blue eyes, and a sweet smile. As they navigated the climbing structure, Rashel pretended to be a rabbit in a tunnel, keeping an eye on Timmy until they reached the spiderweb—a secluded area with a challenging rope leading to a web of nets.

Timmy's reluctance to stay behind and Rashel's determination to explore the spiderweb set the stage for an event that would change Rashel's life forever.
