Candela Obscura by Darrington Press & Friends

Human DNA has a secret key for genetic reengineering, which was passed down by the second Kingship on Earth for the return of the original bloodline of Adam. A young precocious girl grows up in an orphanage. She is plagued by dreams and nightmares which confuse her sense of reality. In the pursuit for normalcy, she uncovers her uniqueness and mankind's deepest, darkest conspiracy with the help of a mysterious person. "The Ten Commandments do not apply to me?" he said. "The Ten Commandments was the covenant made between God and man on earth." She thought that he was trying to weasel his way out of the responsibility of committing murder. "You killed a man,"she reminded him. And what did he mean that the Ten Commandments did not apply to him? Was he not a Christian? Or more ludicrous, was he not human?

Melanie found out at a young age she was unique. Her best friend Mitch was the only person that didn't make her feel like a freak of nature because she could change her physical appearance. While trying to find her place in the world, Melanie stumbles into a place between this world and the next. A place created to help others but was almost destroyed by an evil that could drain the very light of life from you. The In-Between shows Melanie that she is capable of more than she could have dreamed. She is also in more danger than she has ever imagined. Along the way, Melanie will need to learn to trust others with her heart, and she may just need to sacrifice everything for those she loves. Previously published under the pen name Elise Kitman.
