Years have passed, the light fades A sacred world bleeds, darker each day The shadows weep for ruined dreams As nightmares choke the land to screams The lost daughter, no longer forsaken A ancient force long forgotten, Awakened --------------------------------------------- When sixteen year old Astra Gray is asked what her plans for the future are, she'll give it to you straight: get good grades, get a scholarship to a good college, and get the hell out of the orphanage. Since she was only a day old, Astra has lived in one of the many over-crowed Los Angeles orphanages, wanting more than anything to experience the normal life that her peers have. But Astra isn't a normal girl. Plagued by strange dreams, horrifying nightmares, and the shadowy figure who always seems to lurk inside them, she often wonders about her sanity. Hearing voices at night and seeing shadows dance isn't normal. After nearly being abducted and witnessing what should be considered a murder, Astra slowly realizes that things aren't always seem. Suddenly thrown into a strange world of wolves, dream worlds, and Nightmare Slayers, Astra must come to terms with the truth of her heritage, find her missing half, and maybe fall in love with the wrong person along the way, all while realizing that in order to defeat the darkness, she must first embrace it.

Cherry blossom lipstick: check Smokey eyes: check Skinny jeans: check Dead kid in the mirror: check For sixteen year old Mattie Hathaway, this is her normal everyday routine. She's been able to see ghosts since her mother tried to murder her when she was five years old. No way does she want anyone to know she can talk to spooks.

Foster kids look out for each other and Mattie feels like she has to help Sally, but she can't do it alone. Against her better judgment, she teams up with a young police officer and together they set out to discover the truth of Sally's disappearance. Now the killer has set his sights on her. It becomes a race to see if she can find the truth before the serial killer finds her.

It's her, isn't it? The girl? He's coming for her. He wants to kill her, in vengeance for all you've cost him. He'll stop at nothing." "Who's coming for her?" Questions someone else. "Thanos." Loki whispers. (I obviously don't own Loki or any other marvel characters, okay?) - Olivia Linden lived a quiet, peaceful life; she owned a floral shop with her mother in a small town.

A small girl catches my attention one day during lunch and I can't seemed to get her off my mind. My new friends and others advise me to stay away from the brunette. I'm new to the school so I don't know much of anything but I can't figure out as to why someone so cute and petite could possibly be dangerous. Every time I ask, everyone's response is "She's not normal..." ---------- ATTENTION - If you're a grammar freak, I don't suggest reading this. This was mainly written when I had no idea what I was doing yet. My grammar sucked and I had many choppy chapters. If you make it half way through the book, I promise it gets better.
