Association:
A CORE Series Prequel

When 15-year-old Krystin Jakobsdóttir’s uncle is accused of attempted murder, she determines to help him clear his name of something she knows he didn’t do. But soon she realizes she’s not just fighting a false accusation, she’s fighting against a conspiracy to take down the social activist her uncle supports. The situation is eerily similar to what happened two years ago, the devastating loss of her sister. With a relentless police inspector watching her every move, Krystin faces a dilemma—avoid the authorities and hope for the best for her uncle, or align with the very thinking that tore her sister from her two years ago.

Association is the prequel novella for the CORE Series of YA Sci-Fi thrillers set in an arctic-like, dystopian-like world. Each book features themes designed to encourage Christians to stand strong in their faith. There’s plenty of action, suspense, and intrigue, but the stories also present a Biblical worldview and are free of objectionable content.
