Winter, 1917. Dorothy never really thought that war would take her older brother, but like so many others before him, Ian enlisted and departed Canada in khaki, leaving Dorothy to care for the youngest Gaston, Charlie. The return of her employer's son eats away at Dorothy: why should he, the rich man's son, the spoiled brat, be back home sleeping in his bed while her brother sleeps in the muck somewhere in France or Belgium? Robbie Monroe isn't the brat who ran off for a great adventure. Nearly deaf in one ear and deeply lonely, he is a man struggling to put his life back together after his time "over there," and Dorothy seems to be the only one he can talk to. She doesn't want to trust him but she can't help it, and Dorothy soon finds herself with something she didn't realize she desperately needed: a friend. Before the war's end, fate has one final reminder for Dorothy that happy endings don't always happen in real life, no matter how much she tells herself they can. Set in in the weeks before the 1917 Halifax Explosion, Shadows May Fall is a non-traditional World War I romance.

But things get complicated when her small-scale photography business goes viral.

In January 2016, RT Book Reviews deemed OOF as one of the Top 3 books on Wattpad and an excerpt was also recently featured in Cosmopolitan's online magazine.(February 2016). *** Dedicated to anyone who is or has walked in Eva's shoes. I hope you've found your Haven. (And Marshall!!) :) All rights belong to the author and no reproductions are allowed without express permission from @FallonDeMornay.

BOOK 1 [COMPLETE] BOOK 2 [IN PROGRESS] All those fairy tales your parents scared you with are real. All those creatures you feared truly do exist. But why can't we see them? Why are there no creatures lurking around Earth killing every single human they want when they are capable of doing so? You never knew, but you you could feel that there was someone on the top stopping that from happening. King so cold and ruthless that he wouldn't bat his eye when killing other creatures, but had a soft spot for one person that he knew won't ever met. Until the cog of fate broke and his destiny came rushing in his life bringing him that one person he never thought he'll have pleasure to see: His own soul-mate. A human, at that. She was abused, fragile human that could bring about his downfall yet he saw her as someone his to protect and care for. He could be evil for everyone in other Ten Realms that existed, but only for her could he allow himself to abandon his throne. Only with her could he show his emotions. She is the light that could wash away his curse. She is his light, yet he's nothing but a pure darkness. A perfect evil. A creature incapable of of love. The brighter the light is, the darker will creature be attached to it, trying to embrace it, to save itself. And so he craved her. But maybe his darkness was way too stronger than her innocence and the only outcome of their relationship was him breaking her. All she wanted was to live. All he wanted was to be loved. But when you put two oposites together, one is bound to be destroyed. In this case, it was Ayla. That's the way Viktor was from the very beginning. Forever, the Cursed One. ___ Contains dark and mature content such as blood (a lot of fighting, actually), violence, curse words (wouldn't be an evil creature if he didn't curse), self harm matters, murders, corruption, power, gender inequality... Many things we turn a blind eye to yet should be shown for everyone to know how to deal with.
