Sixteen-year-old Gabi Parker expects nothing exciting when she and her older brother move to the lake-side town of Kenosha, Wisconsin for the summer. It is soon discovered the lovely town has a strange habit of young men turning up dead in a grisly fashion along the beautiful shores of the lake. Police believe it to be a fast-moving serial killer. Old legend-believing townsfolk feel otherwise. By chance Gabi discovers that a bizarre noise calls out from over by the large rocks surrounding the harbor. It's a loud screech of a sound that only sounds alluring to young men... That's not her only surprise. The gorgeous lake seems to be home to creatures a salt-free lake really shouldn't hold. As Gabi begins to investigate the strange mystery surrounding the town, old stories based on Greek mythology may not be as imaginary as they seem... As Gabi tries to reconcile the fact that Gods and monsters are actually apart of reality she may not have a choice in helping a son of Poseidon and a daughter of Zeus solve the sick murder mystery surrounding the deaths of all the young men. Her own brother may be the mysterious killer's next target. Cover by xShreyaPandeyx

Something is telling her that these hallucinations and dreams are an echo of forgotten memories of her time as an Asgardian herself.

Destiny. It was a funny thing. I had always thought that I could create my own destiny. But after attending my junior year at Nox Haven, I knew that wasn't possible. My destiny was written two hundred years before my birth, when my ancestor- The Dark Warlock- created a cult of Dark Ones. It was my destiny to rid the world of his mistake- but I didn't know how. That was the funny part, I knew what I had to do but I didn't know how. Nobody wrote that part of the prophecy. I would figure it out though, two of my beloved friends were dead because the Dark Ones. I swore on their graves that no one else would follow. **Book Three in the Nox Haven Series**
