One soul. Two lives. One destiny. ***** Torn apart by the gods, twin sisters, Sheala and Cassandra, are each anointed by the Fates to end the war raging upon Geiha. The sisters, one of the light and one of the dark, find themselves on the opposite sides of the conflict between the remnants of the ancient Kingdom of Hitithe and the evil empire of a vampiric Blood Lord. Their separate paths set them on a course where facing their destiny means ultimately facing each other. While one runs from this inevitability, the other has embraced it. And the fate of the world will depend upon which one shall ultimately claim it. Cover designed by Ray Gardener

'For a moment I stood and stared. Jet black hair pulled back and the bluest of eyes. He stood insecurely, as though he had no idea what to do. But, as he watched on in irresolution, I had already turned, distancing myself from the horror and breaking into the first line of trees.' Being afraid of this one day her whole life, Vayla Brenson takes the one chance away from the kelpie people, who plan to enslave her in their lands. With an uncertainty of freedom and a kelpie guard pining for her return, she soon learns her trust is better garnered to herself.

⚠️ warning: mature content, including gore, abuse, mental illness( small scale),sexual relations, and some beastial play between protagonist and the wendigo "Heed this child of thorn, From whence they came, 'Twas the darkness born. Unite with beasts of gore and shade, In an intimate embrace with those forbade. Lay thoust head upon his chest, Your hair entangles in his claws as you rest. The horned one knows his bride best." There are secrets in our world, dark secrets. Magic has been lost to humans. We no longer see the fairies in the field nor the gnomes in our gardens, but they're still there. As this tale makes it painfully clear. The formidable Wendigo, tall and horrific in appearance. The cunning Omen, with his deceiving beauty and sinister appetites. The grouchy Grim, damned devourer of souls. The princely Unseelie, with secrets he adores and a court he abhors. The brooding Magpie, cursed by a gift made from love. The Hawthornes are an eclectic family in the magical world. The cursed ones that even those of their own kind shrivel away from. Content with each other's company, this never bothered them. The only thing missing is a woman to love, a bride. Four girls with four stories and one choice to be made. One of them is chosen by the Hawthornes and they choose our dear protagonist. Whimsy and nightmare blur together in a fairytale of an unconventional love between five inhuman creatures and a woman brave enough to possess their hearts. (A/n: This book will not be about four different girls. After the introductions are made, one will be the protagonist. Just thought I should clarify.)
