About Emerging
Twenty-five-year-old Zoe Eferhild was supposed to live a life full of adventure. Climbing mountains and day-dreaming of the magic in books was all she needed to fuel her unabashed spirit. That all changed the night her sister was murdered in front of her.
Now, she’s in therapy, questioning her grip on reality and unable to tell fiction from the truth. The sound of the ocean and the calming presence of her dog, Jelly, are the only sources she trusts.
When otherworldly newcomers come to the quiet town of Saint Andrews, the stars above begin to illuminate the path of her healing journey in ways even she could not have predicted. Caught between the Lord Astrals of the Court of Vega and the Court of Algol, Zoe must choose between who she used to be and who she is becoming.
Zoe will need every ounce of courage and belief in her own worth to make it through the trials in the realm of the stars. Every moment matters, and the fight to get back to herself and those she loves is only just the beginning. Zoe suddenly finds herself on the most crucial adventure of her life, and she, alone, has the power to change the course of fate.
If she doesn’t burn before then…

“Absolutely a fantastic read! It’s such a wonderful blend of fantasy, drama, and spice! I found myself so invested in the characters and their story that I couldn’t put it down! As a therapist, I really appreciated how the author addresses trauma and mental health. Now I’m just impatiently waiting for book 2!!”

“Lawton, darling, you did such a great job with this book! You had me smiling, laughing, tearing up and clutching my heart all at the same time.
•
I don’t know how she did it, but Lawton beautifully intertwined the modern love of coffee, the special bond with dogs, and the realism of life-changing therapy with a magical, unique world filled with (hot) winged men, kick-ass winged women and star power. 💫
•
If you loved the heart-warming bond between the inner circle in ACOTAR (because I sure did!), then you’ll like this read. There’s some (spicy) romance, yes, but it really zones in on loyalty and the importance of friendship and sisterhood.”
