Last spring, Lena discovered who she was.
Now all she wants to do is move on—and find a way to be with Tarek, the new Warden of Arcus and the love of her life. Even though worlds separate them now, she holds onto the hope they’ll be together again. Until then, Lena focuses on being truly happy for the first time in her life…this life. She has new friends, an apartment free from her abusive father, and the chance to live a normal life.
But for Lena, the past never stays gone.
A woman from another lifetime reveals Cassondra, Exemplian’s new authority commander, is seeking revenge against Tarek for killing her brother. There is only one way to end this new threat…
This time, it will take more than Wilma to keep the monsters away. It’ll take an entire army–an army who remembers Lena from her past life, and who might just want her dead, too.

Tainted Energy
by Lynn Vroman
Release Date: 2014
Summary from Goodreads:
For seventeen-year-old Lena, living in the trailer park with the rest of town’s throwaways isn’t exactly paradise. Dealing with a drunken father who can't keep his fists to himself doesn’t help matters either. The only good thing in her life, other than track, is the mysterious man who visits her dreams, promising to find her.
When a chair burns her arms, Lena chalks it up to stress-induced crazy. Yet as bizarre incidents escalate, even being crazy can’t explain it all away… until one day dream guy does find her.
Tarek lost Lena seventeen years ago after she was accused of treason and marked Tainted. He finally discovers her reborn on Earth into a life of suffering as punishment for her crime.
However, someone else has already found her… and wants her dead. Willing to sacrifice everything, he fights to keep her safe so she can live the only life she’s ever known—even if that life doesn’t include him.

Excerpt:
The screeching pierced my ears as we raced for the castle, following the squid as they swung with speed I had never witnessed from tree to tree. But when the forest's edge came into view, I ignored the ear pain and moved faster.
"Belva!"
Where the blue ice met the rich soil, my best friend stood, reaching out to one of those gigantic pink abominations. A thick trunk slithered from a tree, meeting her hand with a gentle stroke while squid perched in the closest trees looked as though they bowed their heads–the queen and her court. Tarek and I stopped, with me slamming into his back, when the animal touching Belva's hand let another tentacle escape the tree to nuzzle her cheek.
"What the hell?" I had a hard time closing my gaping jaw. The scene looked innocent, sweet. I almost forgot how deadly the things were.
"I have no idea." Tarek groped for my hand, holding so tight my knuckles clenched together, and moved forward, slow and cautious.
The squid didn't acknowledge us, their focus solely on Belva petting their pink, squishy friend. When we got close enough, I let go of Tarek, ducking underneath the amorous squid's limb, and touched Belva's shoulder. "Hey, pal. Ah, what're you doing?"
Her smile had the animal audience making purring noises as her admirer's tentacle played with her lips. "Making new friends, apparently."
I shot Tarek a raised eyebrow, and he gave me a weak shrug. Clearing my throat, I said, "Why don't we go inside, okay? Let these guys, ah, get back to whatever it is they…do."
When Belva sighed and her smile disappeared, the animals whined like toddlers. Taking a step back, she waved a hand in the air, motioning in the direction of the woods. With muted grumbles, the squid all retreated in unison, scaling their tree trunks and climbing deeper into the verdant, thick leaves.
Tarek stomped a path to the castle, shaking his head while I grabbed Belva's hand, her face flushed and breathtaking.
"How'd you do that?" I pulled her up the icy path, hoping none of those things followed.
"I…I don't know."
Laughing, I bumped her shoulder with mine. "You're the goddamned squid whisperer."
