The Explosion That Started Everything: Chapter 1 of Order of Vespers
An explosion rocks a quiet town in upstate New York—and Jasper Andrews is the prime suspect.
She can’t exactly blame them. Strange things tend to happen around her. Ever since her supernatural powers began manifesting, accidents seem to follow.
Fleeing to Manhattan to disappear, Jasper is intercepted by The Order of Vespers, a secretive cabal of assassins who believe she is the key to a prophecy that could save the world. They offer her protection and training to control her powers—if she helps them with their mission.
With nowhere else to turn, Jasper accepts. But life among assassins is more dangerous than she imagined, and betrayal may be closer than she thinks.
Will Jasper risk everything to save her new allies—and humanity itself—or will she choose to save herself?
Jasper’s story begins with the explosion that turns her life upside down. Read Chapter 1—or listen to the author read it aloud below.
