Lyra has been waiting for her Weaver to find her for years, unable to leave the safety of her home and only connected to him through passionate dreams - remembering nothing about him apart from his wild, sensual song. When the lone Weaver Grigore finally sweeps into her life, she finds herself instantly drawn to him, instantly recognising him as the man she had dreamt of for years. However, Lyra quickly runs into problems. Not only does he fail to recognise her but he's nothing like she imagined; cold, stubborn and determined to keep himself away from her. Rejected but determined to keep him safe as her magic whispers of his death, she follows him through danger and blood as he stalks his own hunt, desperate to shake the hooks that keeps pulling him back to her. First Volume of the Dark Folktales. This is a horror, erotic romance, with monster-of-the-week vibes, such as Buffy, Supernatural, Witcher, Claymore, and Van Helsing. (I'm a massive fan of the monster hunting genre.) Written from Sep 2011 until April 2014. This was the very first adult romance I'd written and has a plethora of problems. Despite this, I won't do further editing as I'm putting my efforts into a full re-write. Author's note - Please be mindful of what you're saying when commenting. I'm happy with helpful criticism, spelling/grammar pointers, questions or simple chatter. However, a tirade of needless, unhelpful complaints and just outright rude commentary is not welcome. My stories are terrible first drafts, they're going to be riddled with issues, so just politely highlight if you feel there's a problem. I'll listen and likely take on board the criticism. And if you're not enjoying it, that's fine, just move on and thank you for giving it a shot. The cover is my own art; sketched 2017.

"It was a starry night. I blinked away the moist blur in my eyes and marveled at the beauty that stretched before me. A small country town away from the noise and hassle of my previous life, a new beginning. Is what I hoped for. But I was far from it, I realized." Chloe Campbell, a twenty one years old arts student, had a very rough childhood and if it weren't for her mother, she might have lost her will to live. She had supported her throughout her struggles, giving her the strength and motivation to move on. But her sudden death took everyone by surprise. Chloe in particular. It had shattered her. Left with the responsibility to care for her alcoholic father, nobody noticed that with each passing day she was drowning further into the darkness. Suffocated and helpless. Until her Aunt Diana decided to step in and take her under her wing. Now, Chloe lives with her Aunt at a country farmhouse, working her way towards the so-called fresh beginning. But what Chloe didn't expect was a fateful encounter with an ethereal being on her first day there. The flicker of melancholy in his eyes hinted towards a dark past and darker secrets. And Chloe felt an enigmatic attraction towards him. She wanted to know more about him, even if it meant getting entangled in a centuries old curse that he believes only she can break. This is a love story of two very different people and how they overcome various obstacles to have their happily ever after.
