*Under editing Book 1 of the Temptress series. A fantasy horror with eventual romance🦌🪽🏔️💠 The Appalachian mountains hold whispers older than the stars themselves, the winds cast by their trees carrying legends of monsters and gaurdians from generation to generation. But those are just stories told to comfort children who fear what lurks in the shadows of the valley... Right? After miraculously surviving the disaster that plagued the town, Dahlia moves to her Meemaws empty home in rural Appalachia with her father to recover. However, how she escaped and survived remains a mystery. Peculiar things begin to happen. From antlered creatures and whistling trees to uncanny dreams and a winged shadow whispering into her conscience. Surely this is all but a result of the trauma. The mind itself is a very peculiar thing. But when Dahlia's "hallucinations" become eerily similar to childhood folktales and begin to blend in with reality, she embarks on a journey to find answers and uncover the truth of the mountains. Only to discover people she once thought she knew, haven't been entirely truthful with her.

Selera is the youngest and last of the Dravenmoor family to start at the strongest war academy among the seven planets. She was born without magic, something no one in the family neither vampires, fairies, nor humans has ever experienced. The Dravenmoor family is the strongest of all and part of The Five, and Selera is forced to train for the war against the planet Lunara, which has been ongoing for four years. She grew up in a cold home without love from her parents, who rejected her because her magic never appeared. Selera has trained her whole life to defend herself without powers and has promised herself she will not die at the academy no matter the cost. Her older brother Taren, who is in his third year at the academy, has warned her to stay away from Xavi Mayfield his friend and prince of the planet Thalmyr. Xavi, who, like Selera, grew up without love, is cold, cynical, and possesses extremely strong powers. He destroys anything that stands in his way. Yet Selera cannot stay away from him, even though she knows it's dangerous.
