the new and improved version now being posted on Radish! ___________________________________ When Melanie's twin sister Isabel goes missing, Melanie will do anything to get her back. Melanie waits all morning for her sister to come home, hoping she had another drunken night at some loser's house, but became worried as hours pass with no sign of her. When she reports it to the police, they couldn't care less - except for one officer who seems to hold Melanie's attention. Melanie doesn't know what do anymore-that is until Isabel's kidnapper shows up on her doorstep with Isabel. She's unharmed and dazed, inside his arms, claiming he had taken the wrong sister. The man then makes an offer; Melanie can get Isabel back - under one condition: she gives herself up. So she does. Copyright @SierraEakins 2015

Season 1 of The Moonlit Curse Kiya Bridges has spent her whole life learning to hunt the unnatural. She, alongside the five other members of the Monster Hunter Corps, are some of the most capable soldiers the Kingdom of Westmora has ever seen. But since no one has seen a monster in over five hundred years, it's hard to take the missions seriously. All it takes is one bite from a rogue werewolf to shatter Kiya's worldview and open a void of uncertainty beneath her feet. One bite, and she is forced to confront everything she thought she knew about the world. With no one else to rely on, the only person she can turn to is the local innkeeper, August. As a subservient alpha to the Silverkeep Pack, August never imagined he would be the only one willing to guide a new victim of the curse. In order to protect her from the rest of his pack, August must hide his true identity from Kiya, but he finds himself drawn to the beautiful hunter, and she finds herself trusting him more and more. As Kiya's transition progresses in ways they couldn't imagine, the shadow of the rogue looms in the distance. A threat to Kiya's future, and a ghost of August's past.

||2022 WATTYS WINNER|| A scholar boy who denies the existence of elemental magic. A hidden princess who can control all seven elements. A mystical quill capable of rewriting both of their destinies. In the realm of Rainier where magic should no longer exist, eighteen-year-old Sebastian d'Aximos, a nobody scholar from an insignificant fishing village, finds himself accused by the Salvera Crown for using forgotten elemental magic to murder his own mother. There exists one problem with the Crown's theory, however; magic resides only in the Scribal legends about the Authors of Old, a rare race of humans who controlled the seven elements by weaving elemental threads into storybooks called Monvertas. But the Monvertas are myths; they have never been real. Yet, when Sebastian's soul cries out to the hidden heir of Rainier's Crown, Astrid Salvera, his beliefs in logic and facts are challenged. Because Astrid controls the seven elements, and she and her mother have worked to release magic back to their kingdom since it had been stolen by the enemy lands of Soleita two decades previously. Together, Sebastian and Astrid must work to find a mystical, hidden artifact: the Black Quill. A tool used by the original Author to unlock the Monverta and release its magical secrets. A tool that could redeem the realms of their world and reinstate magic. Ancient myths, prophecies of saviours and villains, and deadly trials by elements awaken to meet both Sebastian and Astrid as they work to unveil the secrets hidden from Rainier and learn the dark truths of each other. **Book 2 OUT NOW!**
