description: To most people Kenzie Shepherd appears to be a slightly nerdy reporter for Emerald City Media with close friends and a noticeably over-protective big sister. In reality shes a super-powered alien refugee who arrived on Earth as a tween and has passed as human ever since. When her editor asks her to interview Ava Westbrook chief operations officer at Hyperion Tech Kenzie is understandably nervous about meeting the heir to the most notorious anti-alien family in America. She certainly doesnt expect Ava to announce that she wants to transform her familys company into a force for good. But is Ava really as different from her alien-hating brother and father as she seems?When she agreed to take her mothers place at Hyperions Seattle office Ava Westbrook was hoping to turn over a new leaf both for the embattled corporation and for her family's name. But with a hostile board and equally antagonistic CEO thwarting her sustainable energy plans the path to change looks murky. Add in the highly inconvenient crush she has developed on a local reporter and Ava is certain she is swimming out of her depth. And what is her mother up to anyway?Drum up the Dawn is the first book in a new urban fantasy series that takes place on an Earth where alien refugees live on the fringes of society Kenzie Shepherd may well be the last daughter of a long-dead planet and Ava Westbrook wishes everyone could just get along.
