Lavender -- Christina King, Paperback

She thought music was her escape-turns out, it's her gift. And maybe her destiny.

Lavender Flynn is tired of being the "purple-eyed freak" in her sleepy Colorado town, and the humiliating betrayal by her first-ever boyfriend doesn't help. All she wants now is to hide out at her family's ranch, blast her favorite bands on repeat, and forget the outside world exists. But when a haunting melody drifts out of the forest, lying low is no longer on the playlist.

It starts with a song only she can hear and fireflies that flicker in time with the music. Then comes a voice-raw, twangy, and strangely familiar-that pulls Lavender into a dreamlike version of her own world, where everything feels just a little too real to be imagined.

There, she meets a mystical group of musicians who believe Lavender is the missing piece in their mission to heal a broken world through music. She's not so sure. But ignoring Camp-the lead singer with a voice that ignites her soul and dimples that could end all wars-is proving harder than she'd like to admit.

As her gift begins to surface, the lines between magic, love, and sacrifice start to blur. And when someone she loves is caught in the crossfire, Lavender must choose: stay silent, or risk everything to let the music speak through her.

A spellbinding blend of supernatural intrigue, coming-of-age romance, and the healing power of music, Lavender is a story about finding your voice in a world that's lost its rhythm.
